Amazing but hideous, photographs brilliantly.
Couvent de la Tourette的点评
点评:We visited on a Sunday in August and joined the English language tour group, we also bought a guide book in English which gives a brief history and explanation, with numerous black and white photographs. I am not a fan of Le Corbusier or indeed new brutalist architecture in general, but the Couvent is worth a visit if only to see this extreme example. It is truly amazing and on a gigantic scale. The finish in the concrete is particularly rough and crude. I did not like it but am glad I visited. The whole monument would benefit from some TLC, e.g. some trimming of the vegetation, removal of spiders' webs, tidying up. There are several odd pieces of wooden furniture scattered about e.g. in the church, which look very much at odds with Le Corbusier's design and are the diametrical opposite in furnishing terms of his striking cupboards.
It is worth noting that there are many steep concrete steps in the Couvent and that the staircase down to the crypt is not safe (IMHO) for people with mobility difficulties. Apparently lifts were included in the original design but cut on cost grounds.
翻译:我们是在八月的一个周日参观的,参加了英语旅行团,还买了一本英文导游书,里面简要介绍了历史和解说,还有许多黑白照片。我并非勒·柯布西耶的粉丝,或者说我并非新野兽派建筑的粉丝,但修道院值得一游,哪怕只是为了看看这个极端的例子。它真的令人惊叹,而且规模宏大。混凝土的表面特别粗糙。我不喜欢,但很高兴我参观了。如果整座建筑能得到一些细心的呵护,比如修剪一下植被,清除一下蜘蛛网,进行整理。教堂里散落着几件奇怪的木制家具,它们看起来与勒·柯布西耶的设计风格格格不入,在家具方面与他引人注目的橱柜截然相反。
值得注意的是,修道院里有许多陡峭的混凝土台阶,而且通往地下室的楼梯对于行动不便的人来说并不安全(恕我直言)。显然,最初的设计中包含了电梯,但由于成本原因而被削减。
