国家雪车雪橇中心

建筑的迷人之处在于其复杂性。

北京2022年冬奥会国家雪车雪橇中心是一个足够“复杂”的项目，其中包含了多重语义的阐释，覆盖了建筑学所能及的多个概念。它既承载着国家级建设的诉求，又是一个独特地貌特色的建筑；既是建筑又是景观，甚至是构筑物；既有文化层面的表达，又有关乎人体速度和极限等性能和尺寸上的精确操作。所有这些因素累叠构成的复杂性，使建筑呈现出一种无比生动的状态。

主持建筑师李兴钢采用了一系列富有成效的功能组织方式、建构策略，配合完善的数字化性能模拟来表达设计。但这种“技艺”并未刻意表达成为主角，而是恰如其分地融合在建筑的“胜景”呈现中，成为建筑高度丰富性的注脚之一。

帕特里克·舒马赫（Patrik Schumacher）在一次采访中谈到，希望中国优秀建筑师不要回避大规模的建筑设计，而仅热衷于小规模的项目。在我看来，“大”是建筑蕴含信息的多义和复杂，而建筑的最迷人之处在于其复杂性。国家雪车雪橇中心正是这样一个具有高度丰富涵义的设计作品。

The beauty of architecture is its complexity.

National Sliding Center for Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games is a sufficiently"complex" project that contains multiple semantic interpretations,covering as many concepts as architecture can.It not only carries the demands of national construction,but also is a building with unique geomorphic characteristics.It is both architecture and landscape,and even structures;it has cultural level of expression,but also relationship with the speed and limit of human performance and precise operation of size.The complexity of all these factors makes the building present a very vivid state.

The chief architect Li Xinggang adopted a series of effective functional organization methods,construction strategies,and perfect digital performance simulation to express the design.However,this "technique"is not deliberately expressed as the protagonist,but appropriately integrated into the presentation of the "Poetic Scenery" of the architecture,becoming one of the footnotes of the high richness of the architecture.

In an interview,Patrik Schumacher hoped that China's top architects would not shy away from large-scale architecture,but rather focus on small-scale projects.In my opinion,"big" is the ambiguity and complexity of the information contained in architecture,and the most fascinating thing about architecture is its complexity.The National Sliding Center is such a highly meaningful design work.
