居住在索诺拉沙漠的树影中

那是在2016年3月,我开始与我的导师亚伦-贝茨基谈论这个庇护所的想法。在那次会议上,亚伦问了我一些关于庇护所的基本问题。

To Dwell in the Shadow of the Trees of the Sonora Desert

It was in March of 2016 when I start to talk with my mentor Aaron Betsky about the idea of the shelter. In that meeting Aaron asked me some fundamental questions for the shelter:

-找到一个地点
-这个地方想成为什么?
-我想如何在这个地方?
-我的设计如何反映我在塔利辛的学生时代所学到的东西?
-是什么让这个网站成为塔利辛的一部分?
-在我离开之后,这个地方会变成什么样子?

-Find a site
-What does this site wants to be?
-How do I want to be in this site?
-How does my design reflect what I have learned as a student at Taliesin?
-What makes this site part of Taliesin?
-What will the site be after I gone?

这些问题对我理解塔利辛的领地和发展建筑学的原则至关重要,这种建筑观察可以对索诺拉沙漠的景观做出反应。当我找到我的同学卡尔-科胡特时,我正在沙漠中行走。他告诉我一个美丽的地方,并把它展示给我。我们沿着一条我从来没有见过的路走。一切对我来说都是新的,然后我突然看到这个地方是新的。我立即知道这就是那个地方。

These questions were crucial for me in understanding the Taliesin territory and to develop a principle in architecture, an architectural observation that could respond to the landscape of the Sonora desert. I was walking through desert when I found my fellow student, Carl Kohut. He told me about a beautiful site and showed it to me. We walked along a path that I never I had never seen. Everything was new for me and then suddenly I saw the place a new. Immediately I knew that this was the right site.

它就像隐藏在水洗中的秘密场所,被树的影子所覆盖,望着水洗和沙漠。场地的入口是由帕洛斯-韦尔德斯的阿拉米达塑造的。这创造了通往遗址的孔道,在日落时分,遗址成为一个光的蒸馏器。现在的山是紫色的。景观是一场色彩的歌剧。

It was like secret place hidden in the wash, covered by the shadows of the trees and looking out at the wash and the desert. The entrance to the site is shaped by the Alameda of Palos Verdes. This creates the aperture to the site and at sunset the site becomes a distiller of the light. The mountains are now with purple in color. The landscape is an opera of colors.

从对场地的观察中,我的原则是开发一个入口队伍,让我居住在帕洛斯维德的地平线上。正因为如此,这个项目的名称是 “阿塔拉亚”,意思是乌鸦的巢穴。这是从船上的最高点,在那里你可以看到整个海洋的地平线。我利用现有的混凝土垫像一个基座,支撑着这个结构,用墙-楼梯的组合继续前进。庇护所将用织物板覆盖,这将放大沙漠的颜色。

From that observation of the site my principle was to develop an entrance procession that would let me dwell within the horizon of the Alameda of the Palos Verdes. Because of that the name of the project is “Atalaya,” which means crow nest. It is the highest point from the boat where you can see the horizon across the ocean. I used the existing concrete pad like a plinth that holds this structure and continued the procession with a combination wall- stair. The shelter will be covered with fabric panels that will amplify the colors of the desert.

作为年轻的建筑师,Taliesin是一个伟大的实验室,在那里你可以测试建筑的原则。设计和建造、物流、时间表、材料、景观–所有这些因素都是了解建筑师如何管理建筑任务的关键。对我来说,能在塔利辛延续边做边学的传统是一种荣幸。

As young architect Taliesin is a great laboratory where you can test principles in architecture. To design and build, the logistics, the schedule, the materials, the landscape – all these factors are crucial to understand how the architect can manage the task of architecture. For me it is a privilege to continue the legacy of learning by doing at Taliesin.
