流水别墅

流水别墅"Falling Water": Edgar J. Kaufmann, Sr., Residence, Bear Run, Pennsylvania,很诗意的名字。今天是Frank Lloyd Wright他老人家的生日,特写此篇以示对这位建筑大师的敬仰。其实我对建筑没啥了解。最近的一次接触是在芝加哥建筑中心接受了一番教育。对Wright也局限于PBS的专题纪录片上的介绍。唯一去拜见过的作品就是位于纽约的Guggenheim博物馆,但是印象很深刻。这个流水别墅算是久仰大名,有山有水有石有树,与大自然浑然一体。想象在这样的别墅里,听到的只有潺潺流水声,树叶沙沙声,还有清脆的鸟鸣,何等的惬意。一直想去看看夏天和秋天的宾州会是什么样子。在德州呆久了,就特别向往丛林流水的景致,所以一到秋天冬天就会往北面跑。想了解赖特生平的,可以看一看赖特的中文介绍和赖特基金会网站上的作品集

  
  
  
Frank Lloyd Wright wrote:
Fallingwater is a great blessing - one of the great blessings to be experienced here on earth. I think nothing yet ever equalled the coordination, sympathic expression of the great principle of repose where forest and stream and rock and all the elements of structure are combined so quietly that really you listen not to any noise whatsoever although the music of the stream is there. But you listen to Fallingwater the way you listen to the quiet of the country ....
秋天的流水别墅
