Believing that ‘less is more’ brings sophistication to a courtyard? That’s a big mistake!

庭院的高级感是“少即是多”？大错特错！

In this video, we will explore a popular concept in garden design - ‘less is more’, and deeply analyze whether this concept is correct. This concept originates from the modern architectural master Mies van der Rohe, whose representative work is the Seagram Building. Although this concept has its important significance, it does not mean that we must use this concept to define our garden space. We need to realize that people are the protagonists of the courtyard, and the formation of space depends entirely on our cognition and behavior towards space. If we simply think that the composition of space should be a certain prescribed form, then when our courtyard is built, you will find that it is actually very rigid and impractical. As the architect Venturi said: ‘Architecture is not mixed, nor is it pure, it is ambiguous, unclear, both implicit and direct…’ I do not agree with the ‘less is more’ view because I think it is too limited. The final look of the courtyard should reflect our desired state of life and quality of life. It is an extension of our quality and spirit, not just a simple composition.” This is the English translation of your sentence.

在这个视频中，我们将探讨一个在庭院花园设计界流行的理念——“少即是多”，并深入分析这种理念是否正确。这种理念源自现代建筑大师密斯·凡·德·罗，他的代表作品是西格拉姆大厦。虽然这种理念有其重要的意义，但并不意味着我们必须用这种理念来定义我们的花园空间。
我们需要认识到，人才是庭院的主角，空间的形成完全取决于我们对空间的认知和行为方式。如果我们简单地认为空间组成应该是某种规定的形式，那么，当我们的庭院建成后，你会发现它其实非常死板和不实用。
正如建筑大师文丘里所说：“建筑不是混杂的，也不是纯粹的，它是暧昧的，不明确的，既含蓄又直接…”我并不同意“少即是多”的观点，因为我认为这样过于局限。庭院最终的样子应该反映我们向往的生活状态和生活品质，它是我们品质和精神的外延，而不仅仅是简单的构成。
