樟宜：怀 旧 风 的 融 入
CHANGI
CONTEXTUALISING NOSTALGIA By Anwar Rashid
樟宜区给人的感觉通常是环境悠闲、绿色植被众多的地方。在二战以 前，该地区是黑白建筑的主要标志性区域，区域建筑与新加坡殖民建筑语言 类似。该建筑类型和谐地将本国热带特色与英国殖民特色融合在了一起。陈 少谦在樟宜区此类建筑的修复和保护工程中发挥了主要作用，当时负责后续 项目的主要建筑师兼设计师是陈少谦先生。 The area of Changi has often been associated with an environment that is laid back and rich in greenery and forested areas. Before World War II, the area was known as a prime location for iconic black-and-white houses, synonymous with the colonial architecture language of Singapore. This architectural typology is a harmonious blend of vernacular and tropical sensitivity with British colonial style elements. DP Architects has played a major role in the restoration and conservation efforts of these buildings in the Changi district, with Mr Chan Sui Him at the helm as the main architect and designer for the following projects.

The design of the Singapore Aviation Academy responds to the classic colonial bungalow style of architecture; its terracotta-tiled roof is a common feature of tropical architecture and prevalent in buildings found along the eastern coast of Singapore. Completed in 1992, the building appears modest in scale, in both the building’s exterior and interior. The planning took its cues from the surrounding lush greenery, effectively creating a visual dialogue between the users and the natural environment that surrounds them. Village Hotel Changi was a refurbishment project, completed in 2004, that involved an increase in the number of guestrooms, meeting facilities, recreational areas and commercial spaces, while retaining most of the existing structure. Spaces in the existing building were adapted for new uses to support current and future hotel operations. The setting for Village Hotel Changi is its charming natural surroundings and luxuriant greenery and foliage. Taking advantage of the setting, beautiful landscaped decks with water features that overlook the Changi coastline were created. The façade of the building is made more vibrant by a series of multi-coloured glass balconies placed at selected rooms.
