中文翻译
罗兰德·赖斯利今年5月刚满101岁,身体 remarkably 硬朗。但这并不是他最引以为豪的事。
"我是弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特最后一位仍在世的原始委托人,至今依然住在他为我设计的那栋房子里,"赖斯利说道。他坐在由这位著名建筑师设计的明亮开阔的客厅里。这栋房子赖斯利已经住了73年,坐落在纽约州韦斯切斯特县的林间,距离曼哈顿仅30英里。它是47栋住宅之一,共同组成了宁静而富有特色的20世纪中期现代主义社区——尤索尼亚(Usonia)。
到1951年,赖斯利才26岁,新婚不久,准备安家落户。他和妻子开始在曼哈顿找房子。但看得上的,以他音响工程师的薪水买不起;买得起的,又看不上。后来他们听说了尤索尼亚。第一次去那里,已经定居的10个家庭热情地迎接了他们,夫妻俩当即决定加入。
这栋房子带有赖特的标志性特征:采用当地材料,平顶、木质墙板、混凝土地面和定制家具。几十年来,赖斯利一直向访客敞开大门。如今这栋房子已被列入美国国家史迹名录。
赖斯利说,他尽最大努力不仅做好自己这栋赖特作品的管家,也致力于守护赖特所有的其他建筑。他参与创建了"弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特建筑保护协会",致力于保护赖特现存的所有建筑。
赖斯利认为,正是他对这栋房子和社区的全心投入,才让他这些年一直保持着这样的好身体。
中心概括
101岁的赖斯利是建筑大师赖特最后一位仍在世的原始委托人,73年来一直居住在赖特为他设计的住宅中。他不仅精心守护这栋房子,还参与创建保护组织,致力于守护赖特的所有建筑遗产。他相信,正是这份对家园和社区的执着与热爱,成就了他的健康与长寿。
一句话总结:真正的"养生"不是吃喝作息,而是找到一件值得守护一辈子的事。
