摘要
本文以20世纪荷兰本笃会修士兼建筑师Dom Hans van der Laan的建筑理论和实践为视角,审视建筑和城市主义潜在的精神目的。Van der Laan以神学为基础,将建筑视为人类、自然和神圣之间的神圣媒介,并以经验为基础,通过以人为中心的比例、多节奏和谦逊的材料来实现这一目标,为打造城市和家园提供了一个强大的框架,揭示了世界固有的神圣性。通过对Van der Laan的理论的分析和对他的典型的罗森伯格修道院的考察,本文阐明了目前许多当代城市和建筑空间所缺乏的空间、感官和维度品质,并提出了一套调整它们以更好地支持人类繁荣的策略。
Abstract This paper highlights the architectural theory and practice of the twentieth-century Dutch Benedictine monk and architect Dom Hans van der Laan as a lens through which to view architecture and urbanism’s underlying spiritual purpose. Van der Laan’s theologically grounded vision of architecture as a sacramental mediator between the human, the natural, and the divine and empirically based rubric by which to achieve that end—through human-centric proportion, polyrhythm, and humble materiality—provide a robust framework for crafting cities and homes that reveal the sacredness inherent in the world. Through an analysis of Van der Laan’s theory and an examination of his exemplary Roosenberg Abbey, the paper illuminates the spatial, sensory, and dimensional qualities currently lacking in many contemporary urban and architectural spaces and presents a set of strategies for adapting them to better support human flourishing.
