Oscar Niemeyer, who died last week, was a controversial giant. Best known for designing a new capital city for his native Brazil and the UN headquarters in New York, his work resonates across the world.
上周去世的奥斯卡·尼迈耶(Oscar Niemeyer)是一位颇具争议的伟大人物。尼迈耶最著名的作品包括为祖国巴西设计的新首都以及位于纽约的联合国总部,其作品在世界各地引发了巨大反响。
At his best, Niemeyer curved the skyscraper and made height humane. But Brasília, despite its beauty, also serves as an illustration of the dangers of utopian over-planning.
在他的巅峰时期,尼迈耶为摩天大楼营造出了曲线,赋予了高楼大厦人文气息。然而,尽管他设计的巴西利亚风貌优美,却表明了乌托邦式过度规划的所能带来的负面影响。
Beautiful buildings made Niemeyer famous among architects and critics. But by making height more than merely a practical answer to urban problems, Niemeyer’s structures mattered to cities, and have given him an outsized presence among urbanists and aesthetically challenged economists like me.
尼迈耶设计的美丽建筑物使他在建筑师和评论家中享有盛名。但他使高楼超越了应对城市化问题的一种实用手段——他所设计的建筑对于来说城市意义重大,也使他的形象在城市规划者和像我这样审美能力欠缺的经济学家心中显得格外高大。
