重现赖特的昨日辉煌
Frank Lloyd Wright's lost buildings could be brought back to life

时光慢慢，最是无情。那些辉煌了一个世纪的大师及其作品如今已渐渐衰败，被人遗忘，有的被拆除，有的被破坏。一个赖特大师的建筑作品复兴行动正在悄然展开，首先就是对加拿大班芙展览馆的重建。
   
为了致敬这位著名的美国建筑大师以及他所留下的作品，这个行动组织希望通过向社会众筹的方式，用赖特大师遗留的图纸重建一些他已经消失的建筑作品。

The Frank Lloyd Wright Revival Initiative plans to resurrect the architect's demolished or unbuilt projects, starting with a pavilion in Banff, Canada.
The organisation wants to celebrate the lost work of the renowned American architect by using his drawings to construct the buildings anew, and raising the funds to do so.

赖特大师的建筑作品复兴行动由导演迈克尔•迈内尔发起。他拍摄过多部关于赖特的纪录片，最著名的作品当属纽约古根海姆博物馆和宾夕法尼亚流水别墅。

迈内尔提议的第一个重建项目就是1911年赖特和沙利文为班芙设计的公园展馆，可惜的是这个建筑在1939年就被拆除了。

The Frank Lloyd Wright Revival Initiative was founded by filmmaker Michael Miner. He has made several documentaries about the Wright, whose best-known projects include the Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Fallingwater house in Pennsylvania.
First on Miner's agenda is to recreate a park pavilion that Wright designed for Banff with his student Francis C Sullivan in 1911, but was demolished in 1939.

这个建筑是赖特低屋顶结构和强调水平元素的草原风格的典型，长200英尺（约61米）。

迈内尔提议这项重建工作由赖特大师的孙子埃里克•劳埃德•赖特主导。他曾在他祖父创立的西塔里埃森学习研究，已经帮助修复过好几个赖特大师的建筑。

The 200-foot-long (61-metre) structure featured a low roof and accentuated horizontal elements typical of the architect's prairie style.
Miner's proposal is backed by Wright's grandson Eric Lloyd Wright, who studied at the Taliesin West school under his grandfather and has helped to restore several of his structures.

目前班芙市政府已经初步批准了这个项目，下一步是等待议会正式签署文件。
   
项目所需的约200万美元（160万英磅）的资金也正在筹措当中，主要是源于各建筑材料供应商们的捐赠和赞助。

The city of Banff has also given preliminary approval for the project, but the city council still needs to sign off the plans.
The estimated $2 million (￡1.6 million) needed to complete the project is being raised through small donations and sponsorship from construction material suppliers.

“我们之所以选择这个项目是因为从图纸上看它是最简单、投资最少、可行性最高的，”迈内尔接受采访时说。“这绝对是一个很棒的试手项目。”

如果班芙的项目取得成功，那么下一个计划是1963年在加利福尼亚雷丁的朝圣者公理教堂。这个建筑在当时由于资金问题只完成了一部分，迈内尔希望能够把它完整地呈现出来。

"We chose this project because on paper it was the simplest, least expensive, and most feasible," Miner told Architect Magazine. "We thought it was a wonderful project to get our feet wet and show what can be done."
If the Banff project is successful, the initiative will move on to the 1963 Pilgrim Congregational Church in Redding, California. The building was only partially completed due to cost constraints at the time, and Miner hopes to bring it to fruition in its entirety.

在最近的几个月，大家对重建赖特的作品越来越期待。建筑师大卫•罗梅罗从他两栋现已拆毁的建筑中创造出了颜色数据的可视化效果，这同样可以运用于那栋未建造完成的教堂。

赖特大师逝世于1959年，而近些年他的建筑遗产却面临着喜忧参半的境地。他的其中十个建筑作品，包括流水别墅和古根海姆博物馆，在2015年被提名为联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录。

There has been growing interest in Wright's lost work in recent months. Architect David Romero created colour visualisations of a pair of his now-demolished buildings, and gave the same treatment to an unbuilt chapel.
The architectural legacy of Wright, who died in 1959, has had mixed fate in recent years. Ten of his buildings, including Fallingwater and the Guggenheim, werenominated for the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2015.

1940年他在威斯康辛州建造的住宅最近在修复和扩展，一栋他设计出来但并未实施建造的住宅在74年后的如今也正在建设当中。

然而，他的其他作品，像位于亚利桑那州的住宅正面临着拆迁，另一个在新泽西的住宅则计划着运往意大利。

A 1940s house he built in Wisconsin was recently restored and extended, and anunrealised dwelling was constructed in Florida 74 years after it was designed.
However, others projects like a home in Arizona have faced demolition, while a house in New Jersey was planned to be shipped to Italy.
