The Famous Architect of NPM, Antoine Predock
A very “Motorbike” viewpoint of Architecture “Architecture is an unpredictable traveling experience; it must let your physical body and mental mind ride together simultaneously”
“My motorbike is almost ready in Taipei”, said the 66-year old Predock, who is wearing a black jacket, and looks like just jumped off his bike. Predock just won the AIA Gold Medal and comes to Taiwan in regular basis for his NPM project. He is eager to have his own motorbike in Taipei. For him, “Architecture and traveling are inseparate; work and life are inseparate as well”.
The press described Predock as a “Dark Horse”; he defeat Denial Libeskind, Kengo Kuma, Kris Yao and some other famous architects. Finally, he won the competition. In fact, Predock became worldwide noticed in recent years because of his unique architecture viewpoints developed from the desert. After he won the NPM competition, he not only won another international cynosure competition, Human Right Museum, Canada, but also won the highest honor of the architecture field in United States, AIA Gold Medal.
After Predock won this NPM competition, he is not like other architects, who just sit in front of computers doing designs, he steps out his office and travels around Asia instead. In the past year, he went to Japan, Korea, Turkey, Israel, and couple places in China, Xian, Dunhaung, Turpan, Yunnan, where are the collections in NPM come from. Predock always has his sketch book with him and sketches the scenery/landscape wherever he goes. He puts all those sketch and architecture photos together in his studio website. “Architecture is an abstract landscape” said Predock. Predock thought that architects should abstract the landscape and re-imply it to architecture itself, which allows architecture responds to its surrounded environment and becomes part of its own. As how he designed the Jade Mountain for the NPM project.
Predock loves diving and heavy motorbike, because those two let him enjoy the landscape either on the ground or under the water. He also has more than 40 collections of antique motorbikes in his studio in New Mexico. When he runs out of inspirations/ideas, he will jump on one of those bikes and enjoy the ride in the desert. Motorbike has a deep influence on Predock’s viewpoint of architecture.
“Architecture is a wonderful and unpredictable traveling experience; it must let your physical body and mental mind ride together simultaneously” he said. “Taipei is my favorite city now. It merges with its own natural surroundings, and the landscape is really unique than any other cities I ever experienced. Which city can be like Taipei, where you can see the mountain in every corners inside the city?” said Predock.
He came to Taiwan couple times and started his Taipei studio as well. He also admires the passion of Taiwan people and the diversity of the culture on this island. His next hope is that he can have his own motorbike in Taipei and ride it with the people in Taiwan either around the streets or in the tiny alleys just like how those people ride a bike in Taiwan.
He Loves Motorbike and Seeks The Power From The Desert
熱愛機車; 從沙漠尋求力量 ................摘自聯合報, Ming譯
The American architect, Antoine Predock, who is designing the National Palace Museum, got his master of architecture from Columbia University. Since then, he decided to move back to New Mexico (where he went to school before) and started his own studio in the wild desert instead of staying in New York City like other architects chose to do. “The desert full of power, which deeply vibrate my soul!” said Predock. The Project, Tacoma art Museum in Washington State, brings him to a worldwide stage. Before that, most of Predock’s early works are located in desert, the south west of United States. Predock thought that “Desert is a kind of power”, which has deep influence on his architecture system/style. “It seems like a hidden power under the desert, when I walk on top of it; it gives me a lot inspirations which feel like coming out from the springs. I learned a lot from desert, and I can apply what I learned from desert to any other corners on earth” said Predock. For him, the desert is rich in everything instead of having nothing. The desert also taught him being humble and respecting the nature, those spirits/ethos are not only appearing in his design but also presenting a magical religion atmosphere. It is like what he designed for the NPM, ethereal with spirits.
