ABSTRACT

This paper analyses the impact on Glenn Murcutt’s architecture of his 1973 meeting in Barcelona with José Antonio Coderch (1913–1984), one of the most internationally celebrated Spanish architects of the twentieth century. It uncovers details about their initial meeting and explores buildings designed by Coderch that Murcutt visited in person. The paper then analyses the impact of this meeting on Murcutt’s architecture by comparing two houses: The Laurie Short House (Sydney, 1974), designed immediately before the 1973 trip and finished upon Murcutt’s return to Australia, and the Marie Short House (Kempsey, 1975). The study of Coderch’s work transformed Murcutt in three basic ways: it facilitated his shift away from the archetypal glass pavilion, it spurred Murcutt’s development of continuous interior/exterior spaces and it taught him to exploit vertical sun-shading devices and various shutter configurations that are characteristic of both traditional Mediterranean architecture and Coderch’s work. From Coderch, Murcutt learned to connect contemporary architecture with the tradition of the place, both physically and symbolically. Meeting Coderch, and visiting his works in person, became a turning point in Murcutt’s career and it reveals crucial links between Spanish and Australian architecture.

摘要

本文分析了 Glenn Murcutt 1973 年在巴塞罗那与 José Antonio Coderch（1913-1984）的会面对他的建筑的影响，José Antonio Coderch（1913-1984）是二十世纪最享誉国际的西班牙建筑师之一。它揭示了他们初次见面的细节，并探索了 Murcutt 亲自参观过的由 Coderch 设计的建筑。然后，本文通过比较两座房子来分析这次会议对默克特建筑的影响：劳里·肖特故居（悉尼，1974 年），在 1973 年旅行之前设计并在默克特返回澳大利亚后完成，以及玛丽·肖特故居（肯普西，1975 年） ）。对 Coderch 作品的研究在三个基本方面改变了 Murcutt：它促进了他远离原型玻璃展馆的转变，它刺激了 Murcutt 开发连续的内部/外部空间，并教会他利用垂直遮阳装置和各种百叶窗配置，这些都是传统地中海建筑和 Coderch 作品的特征。从 Coderch 那里，Murcutt 学会了将当代建筑与当地传统联系起来，无论是物理上还是象征上。会见 Coderch 并亲自参观他的作品，成为 Murcutt 职业生涯的转折点，它揭示了西班牙和澳大利亚建筑之间的重要联系。
