The Research On Authenticity Of Eduardo Souto De Moura’s Architectural Creation

The development of the times often leads the trend of culture and art. As a container of culture and art carrier, the building is the best reflection on the pulse of the times. Throughout many areas nowadays trends, the emergence of a variety of trend invariably as the age of the vane to interpret the development of its own internal logic. As the2011Pritzker Architecture Prize Laureate, De Moura naturally has his worth and reference. Through the simple reversionary exploration, the geographical change under native representation and heritage context outside grabbing interpretation. He’s building as a unique adaptability expression with respect to times, environmental considerations, and a deep love of people, and as a core derived many intriguing creative ideas.When Moura continued to explore creation, Because of the national conditions, the simple concept of interest in the art of minimalism and Mies’simplicity, his works are gradually showing a simple reversion. But he is different with Mies’ Minimalism about architect. The characteristic of Moura is that it is deepening continues the minimalist spirit in the industrial society, and shaping different times of simple forms. His pursuit is the integration of the balance on the industrial materials and local materials, the new look and the folk style collision, and modern techniques and traditional crafts reflects the the rationalistic and simple style. So this style will unify the formation of the independent distinctive Portuguese architecture. The concept of his simplicity adapted to solve the housing problem, in line with the trend of national economic development, but also encompasses the essence of the local culture and the era of the development context, and presents a comfortable inaction of naturalness. He realized a representation of a pure authenticity, and looking forward to a new era of minimalist spirit of the firm.Nowadays, in many trends of the architectural creation, there are many works and thesis appeared. The regionalism of the building is diversity, but Moura’s creation does not rigidly adhere to a thesis that doctrine, but rather from the times, local culture and construction needs into account. So he works under the non-conscious geographical creation, there are no obvious boundaries on the concept; it is just express the authenticity of the historical context and the spirit of place. There will be as perfect as possible construction show in the world. Moura with new method of the spirit of place interpretation, and summed up the structure of space and structural pattern, as well as the spirit of place represented by this structure mode. Then after the "reduction" the spirit of place and structure of the mode converted into construction entities, to make the building act in cooperation with the environment. The growing in the environment of the building create a symbiotic consciousness motivated to meet the requirements of the building at the same time, and give people a sense of identity and a sense of belonging to place space.As authentic Portuguese people, Moura deeply influenced by the traditional culture. His buildings pay more attention to an intrinsic repair and a foreign convergence in the context of cultural heritage. Under the action of such an inner and outer tension, the balance full of his work is contradictions, from the performance of the combined modality to the construction style, the firmness and flexibility to the movement, as well as the checks and balances from the yin and yang of the site characteristics, the creative ideas to the old and the new integration, are emerge the truth expression on the poles of the coexistence of balance. Pulitzer prize comments that, as Mora’s creation has been a rich aesthetic tactile understanding the architectural context, which forge a sense of history to the genesis of modern deep thinking. He continued the tour walk between tradition and modernity, heritage and perseverance among the fusion of the two sides seek new exploration and pursuit. His architecture reflects the modern expression of the traditional vocabulary as well as modern techniques to deal with. So at the same time it meets the internal demand, continue to achieve external materialized, so that the traditional heritage in a modern force, and the modern force made the continuity to the traditional reaction.Overall, Moura’s works reflect the simplicity of the age intertwined with traditional geographical and profound interpretation of the authenticity of the building. This article though the descriptive historian and interpretive historian theoretical research methods to analyze the architectural works of Moura, and explore the ideological orientation of its creation. Grasping the core concept of authenticity, and then show its unique design, and to study Moura’s value. He takes an opportunity to turn the current Western architectural trends more comprehensive and in-depth analysis, which evokes the profound thinking of today’s architectural creation of China’s building field.
