机器，建筑——柯布西耶是如何思考建筑的？

文章通过针对勒·柯布西耶的文本及作品的解读,着重疏理了作为一名现代主义者的柯布西耶的建筑思考之路,并试图分析其中的基本原则,以对当今的建筑学思考提供参考。     

纯粹主义

本文从主题、空间和形式三个方面对比了纯粹主义和立体主义,反驳了纯粹主义不过是立体主义的一个分支的论断,认为纯粹主义代表着柯布西耶的世界观和表达方法,决定了柯布西耶的建筑作品的质量。     

再读"白色派"

当现代主义建筑面临危机的时候,纽约五人旗帜鲜明地扛起了继承现代主义的重任,他们继承了现代主义的许多理论观点,并且把这些观点、手法推向了极致。无论最终走向何方,他们的设计理念始终站在历史的前沿。对他们的设计理论理解开始于柯布西耶,而对他们的继承则是我们永远的共同的历程。     

"伟大风格"--法国勒·诺特尔式园林(2)

法国勒·诺特尔式园林是西方古典园林的一种重要风格.这一风格的开创者是17世纪法国造园家勒·诺特尔.他在继承了欧洲造园传统、尤其是文艺复兴园林的基础上,创造了一种新的"伟大风格".它是路易十四统治下的法国政治、社会和文化状况的一种反映,代表了理性主义的文化思潮,反映了绝对君权制度.这种风格具有宏伟壮丽、中轴突出、严谨对称的特点,具有很高的艺术成就,成为风靡欧洲各国100多年的一种造园样式,并影响到各国的城市建设.并且,直到今天,仍然有许多现代风景园林师从勒·诺特尔式园林中汲取营养,在现代社会创造新的风格.介绍了多个法国勒·诺特尔式园林实例以及它们产生的背景和具有的影响.     

罗伯特·勒·里科莱空间结构模型中的创新方法和悖论思想

罗伯特·勒·里科莱对于空间结构的独创性研究,他晚年被誉为"空间结构之父".他的创新方法包含了原型、转化、推导三个部分,其悖论思想来源于对自然现象和模型实验的辩证认识,系统性涵盖了现象分析、模型试验、认知见解三个层面,为其原创性的结构研究提供了深刻的见解.他的研究成果在结构设计和建筑实践领域都有广泛而深刻的影响.在寻求结构形态与建筑形象融合的当代语境下,他的模型、悖论思想以及研究方法可以帮助我们探索建筑学领域更多的可能性.     

Charles Marville and the Landscapes of the Carrières d’Amérique

Charles Marville’s photographs of Paris preserve the look of streets slated for demolition under Georges-Eugène Haussmann. This article examines his photographs of the Carrières d’Amérique, or America Quarries – gypsum quarries in the outlying Parisian neighbourhood of Belleville. At a time when the rezoning of districts that were formerly extra muros was still controversial, Belleville was seen as a crime-ridden area. Marville’s photographs become documents that refute contemporary narratives of criminality. Borrowing Walter Benjamin’s view that the city ‘opens up’ to the flâneur ‘as a landscape’, the article analyses Marville’s landscapes of the Carrières d’Amérique as images that juxtapose the city, the work site, and the no-man’s land or terrains vagues at Paris’s outer limits.     

Sage of Lacock

Abstract

‘The good is oft interred with their bones.’ Much of what has been written of William Henry Fox Talbot has done him meagre justice: criticism for patenting his inventions, accusations that he patented the ideas of others, denigration of the importance of his discoveries. Though acknowledged as a scientist, his place as an artistic worker in the medium he invented has not been appreciated.     

学生时代的丹下健三

本文试图通过回顾学生时代的丹下健三,寻找其建筑思想及脉络形成的起点。文章先从丹下的毕业设计入手。保留下来的设计图面,清晰地展示出其对于勒·柯布西耶设计手法的摹仿。但是由于毕设没有文字说明留存,因此本文进一步通过阅读和分析其在本科二年级时撰写的两篇文章,从中寻找其思想内涵。     

SnxSy compounds growth by controlled sulfurisation of SnO2

In this work, thin layers of semiconducting tin sulfide Sn_xS_y compounds have been prepared by sulfrisation of tin oxide SnO₂ on glass substrate. Structural studies showed that, depending on sulfur supply concentration, a mixture of SnS₂ and Sn₂S₃ is obtained at an annealing temperature of 550 °C for 2 h. From the transmission and reflectance spectra, the extinction coefficient and refractive index were calculated as guides to understanding crystal growth kinetics. On the other hand, the exploitation of these optical measurements along with optothermal investigations showed that the electronic transitions in these layers were of allowed direct type and exhibit two gaps indicating the presence of two competent sulfide phases: SnS₂ and Sn₂S₃.     

Upgrading Computational Design

Shajay Bhooshan heads up the computation and design ZHACODE group at Zaha Hadid Architects (ZHA) and is a course master at the Architectural Association Design Research Laboratory (AADRL). Here he argues that Parametricism 2.0 has a vital role to play in the progressing of computational design. Assimilating the exploratory developments of the last 15 years, he asserts how the next phase of Parametricism will enable a further consolidation and evolution of digital practices.
