From Aalto to Eames: 7 Projects That Prove the Architectural Beauty of Plywood

由专筑网Martijn，小R编译

胶合板已经影响了现代设计数十年。该材料因其可持续性和灵活性而备受推崇，非常适合不受限制、有表现力的形状和形式的实验。同时，不同程度的厚度和结构使胶合板成为适合大规模生产的材料，其工厂生产对于机器时代的发展至关重要。从19世纪末开始，它被广泛认为是一种工业材料，用于船只，飞机和车辆。从19世纪20年代开始，现代主义的建筑师和设计师开始探索并赞扬胶合板成型为弧形的能力。

芬兰建筑师阿尔瓦·阿尔托尤为接受了由天然材料制成的有机形式的精神，并拒绝了钢管家具的风格，这种风格在现代主义运动中很受欢迎。 1930年，他开始探索如何运用和模制胶合板创造出具有柔和线条的独特家具。迄今为止，他对胶合板可能性的探索一直启发着建筑师和设计师，包括世界著名的查尔斯和雷·伊姆斯。他的作品持续影响着世界，下面这七个美妙的空间证明了他的启发性工作和胶合板的建筑美。

Plywood has influenced modern design for decades. Revered for its sustainability and flexibility, the material lends itself to unencumbered and expressive experimentation of shape and form. At the same time, the varying degrees in thickness and structure make plywood a well-suited material for mass manufacturing and its factory production was pivotal in the expansion of the Machine Age. Widely considered an industrial material, it was used for boats, airplanes and vehicles beginning in the late 19th century. From the 1920s, modernist architects and designers began to exploit and celebrate plywood’s ability to be shaped into curved forms.
In particular, Finnish architect Alvar Aalto embraced the ethos of organic forms created from natural materials and rejected the tubular steel furniture style, which was popular with the Modernist Movement. In 1930, he began exploring how plywood could be manipulated and molded to create unique furniture pieces with soft lines. His exploration into the possibilities of plywood went on to inspire architects and designers to this day, including world-renowned Charles and Ray Eames. His work continues to influence architects and designers from across the world, and these seven beautiful spaces are a testament to his inspiring work and the architectural beauty of plywood.
