PREFACE 前言Ⅰ

精·纯·简·美

FINE, PURE, SIMPLE, BEAUTIFUL

走遍千山万水,阅尽人间万象,融汇东西方文明,最后终究免不了删繁就简,回归简单的本真和生活的原色。

现代主义,是当代最重要的设计风格,它以极致的简约和纯粹,在功能与成本上的超高性价比,以及广泛的适应性,超越了国界、民族、地域、阶层、审美等的限制,成为最国际化的风格,世界上最通行的语言。

现代主义,简约却不简单,要做得出彩并不容易。它摒弃了一切不必要的矫饰,力求以最简炼、精纯的方式显现出设计的精髓,它更考验设计师的思想、灵性、眼光和执行力。

现代主义的极致,无非“精”、“纯”二字。精是“精妙、精确、精工、精致”,以精妙的构思,提炼设计的精华,然后通过精确的计算、精湛的工艺,最终达到精致的品质。纯是“纯粹、纯净、纯美”,纯粹得不受外界左右,纯净得不容一丝杂质,纯美得就像一尊艺术品,经得起时光的考验。

精纯是一种境界,可以让人于无声处听惊雷。精纯的设计以一当百,以简驭繁,精减精减再精减,只留下最具创意的本体,抛却一切华而不实的表象,把最广阔的空间留给想象,因而更显内涵丰富,变幻无穷。

无论是东方的、西方的、传统的、民族的、高科技的建筑,经过精心提纯、简化、抽象之后,都能成为美的代言。精纯不是目的,而是方法,让现代人以最精炼的方式拥有更多的便利,更大的满足。精纯的现代主义不再似它刚出现时的那般冰冷和刻板。精纯也可以很人性化,很百搭,具有广泛的适应性。精美、纯净、便利、优雅、不失亲切的空间设计,将形式和功能结合得天衣无缝,充满了舒适宜人的气氛。这正是本书想呈现给读者的气质。

《精纯——经典现代空间设计》以境界做甄别,向全球优秀设计师邀约,收录精纯唯美、风格独具的空间设计作品,记录属于这个时代的精彩。

After adopting many elements all over the world and combining the essence of eastern with western civilization, it is inevitable to avoid complexity and return to the simplicity and originality of life.

Modernism, the most important contemporary design style, goes beyond the limit of nations, ethnics, regions, classes, and aesthetics with its extreme simplicity and purity. Its ideal price-performance ratio both in function and in cost and its wide adaptability make it the most international style and the world's most prevailing language.

Simple but not dull, modernism is not easy to achieve, process and individualize. It strives to embody the essence of design in the most concise and exquisite way when all the unnecessary decorations are discarded. Such an approach is more of a test of designers' ideas, spirituality, vision and execution.

The utmost of modernism can definitely be concluded as being "fine" and "pure". Being "fine" means being sophisticated, precise, exquisite and delicate. It means that sophisticated ideas are put forward, and then the essence of design is refined. With precise calculations and exquisite craftsmanship, the delicate quality of the architecture can be achieved. Meanwhile, being "pure"means being unadulterated, clean and beautiful. A project should resist any influence from the outside world and be free of extraneous elements of any kind, as beautiful as a work of art that is able to stand the test of time.

Being "pure and fine" is a realm that is so original and forceful that it can give people an extraordinary surprise and have a great impact on their minds. Any pure and fine project should strive for a great effect with a minimum of materials and elements, which is superior to that with a great number of complex decorations. With continuous simplification, the project would retain its most creative nature after discarding all the fantastic appearances. The vast space is left blank for imagination, so that it appears to be richer in content and changeable.

No matter it is eastern, western, traditional, national or high-tech, any project can become the representation of beauty after being purified, simplified and abstracted. However, a fine and pure project is not an end, but a process, a most refined process in which people can have access to more convenience and greater satisfaction. Fine and pure modernism is no longer as cold and rigid as it first appears. Instead, it can also be very humanized and mixed with wide adaptability. It is the beautiful, clean, convenient, elegant and accessible design of the space that perfectly combines forms and functions, and that is full of a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. All of the above is the style this book would like to present to the readers.

"Fine & Pure - Classic Modern Interior Design" is distinguished in terms of its level. It is a collection of fine, pure and distinct projects which contains contributions of excellent designers from all over the world and keeps a record of this wonderful era.
