书籍介绍

The book argues for a shift of orientation in architectural thought, from what the building is to what it does; it also shows that the workings or the reality of the individual work (the room, building, garden, or landscape) cannot be understood apart its wider milieu, the environment in which it finds orientation. We tend to think of buildings as rather static or inert objects;buildings win praise for their stability. What's more, we also tend to assume each building is a discrete work that can be fully explained by the intentions of its designer and the techniques of its builders. These accounts aren't wrong, just partial. An important argument of this book is that conception and construction only explain the work's pre-history, not its manner of existing in the world, its ways of variously resisting and allowing the impress or effect of the forces that animate the wider location.

用户评论
很多观点很有意思,案例相对于之前的两本显丰富,文字和结构还是那个调调,同时在分析项目同urban landscape之间关系依旧显得保守。
