中国建筑民族风格的审美追求

中国建筑文化渊远流长。大力培育和发扬中国建筑的民族审美精神是当代中华民族伟大复兴的重要一环。近现代中国建筑民族风格 (形式 )的探索延续至今 ,欲从审美价值及创作实践方面再议这个沉重的话题     

Berlyne on art: A review of D. E. Berlyne's Aesthetics and psychobiology.

Reviews the book, Aesthetics and Psychobiology by D. E. Berlyne (see record 1973-00821-000). Progress in the aesthetic disciplines has been at a snail's pace. Berlyne charges six factors with having impeded advance: the belief in art as a supernatural phenomenon, the failure to separate factual from normative questions, the conception of art as a unitary phenomenon, the habit of treating art in isolation from nonartistic forms of behavior, the preoccupation with uniqueness in aesthetic taste, and the concentration on verbal judgments in aesthetic work. But the future looks brighter, due primarily to the following developments: (1) the rise of information theory, which provides procedures for rigorously analyzing some of the features of stimulus patterns that most concern aesthetics, (2) recent empirical and theoretical contributions in both psychology and neurophysiology to the understanding of pleasure and arousal, and (3) findings bearing on the nature of exploratory behavior, both in animals and humans, particularly as these teach the motivational importance of such elements as complexity, novelty and uncertainty, so-called "collative" variables, that "seem to be identifiable with the irreducibly essential ingredients of art and of whatever else is aesthetically appealing" (viii). The principal aim of Berlyne's book is to establish the ground gained in these three areas, compare it to the contributions made by earlier workers, and effectuate "a provisional synthesis that will at least bring key problems to the fore" (viii). It is a formidable task. Inevitably, the effort fares better in some assignments than others. Ironically, what discrepancies in quality do exist would probably project less were Berlyne not so knowledgeable about his subject matter. He is, quite obviously, in the tradition of those "cultured gentlemen" with whom he is wont to populate the early history of psychological science. Parenthetically, one suspects that he could supplement the present work with a very creditable companion volume in the philosophy of aesthetics.

Words, music, and other measures: Predicting the repertoire popularity of 597 Schubert lieder.

To address the venerable aesthetic question of the relative importance of music and words, musical and textual characteristics were used to predict recording counts of 597 Franz Schubert lieder. Predictors included career variables (age and concurrent productivity), "whole song" variables (e.g., performance duration, structural complexity, major vs. minor key), thematic measures of the first six notes of the vocal incipit (e.g., melodic and rhythmic originality), poet variables (Goethe, Schiller, etc.), and text variables (computer content analysis measures of primordial and conceptual thought and positive and negative emotions). Many correlations between predictors were small but reliable; career variables accounted for most strong correlations. A 45-predictor regression model was highly significant (R2 = .63), with 13 reliable (p     

视觉文化转向与高校审美教育

视觉文化对于大学生的审美接受方式、审美经验、审美趣味和审美体验产生的深刻影响，对高校审美教育所面临的挑战，本文提出利用预先积累、寻求原初体验、培养经典意识、发展抽象思维等相应的审美教育策略。     

爱是什么——用美学的眼光读绘本《小小恋人》

试图通过儿童绘本《小小恋人》的作品赏析,以设计美学角度解构如何有效传达情感,进而引发对生命美学相关问题的思考。设计美学角度:儿童绘本如何有效完成复杂情感的沟通。生命美学角度:儿童绘本如何动态传达生命美学的内涵。     

基于技术美学的建筑形态数字化设计

以当代建筑学中“工程引导意匠”“技术转化诗意”的技术美学理念为切入点,将数字化设计中的参数化建构方法及非线性美学拓展作为主要的研究对象,以数字化设计中的函数构建、数型联动、表皮优化等作为研究内容,探究了基于参数化程序搭建数字化模型以实现精准调控非线性建筑形态与表皮的过程。结合景观构筑物、公共活动中心、体育馆等不同规模的设计实践,介绍了基于RH/GH平台的建筑非线性形态及表皮的设计过程及优化内容,在技术方法中强调了通过Grasshopper参数化建模软件搭建不同数学函数的“图形脚本形式”对整体形态及表皮的调节作用,应用数学建模方法对数字化设计的基本原则进行了数字建模与理论分析,展示了参数化建模程序与函数曲线在数字化设计中的重要性。通过研究总结了数字化设计过程在非线性形态设计中的要点,强调了当代建筑美学的拓展与延伸。研究结果可为非线性建构的异形形态设计提供精准调控及优化的设计思路与方法,可为当代建筑形态与表皮的设计策略与量化研究提供借鉴。     

“静”与“观”：明清私家园林静观型假山洞探究

假山洞是中国传统园林假山营造中重要的审美和营构对象,现有研究主要受限于对园林遗存的认知,较多关注其形态特征、空间布局以及动态游览的效果特点。通过对明清私家园林假山洞历史文献的细致考察,可以发现历史上存在大量静观型假山洞,在文献记述中,"静"构成"观"的起点,古人以听音、闻香、赏影、观气等知觉体验方式静观山洞,发生由"静"而"观"和由"观"而"静"的审美过程。由审美的视角展开进而探究此类假山洞背后的文化意蕴,可以发现其受到道家虚静观和神仙思想、入洞遁隐的隐逸思想,以及坐石和山居文化追求的影响。最后,将历史文献分析的结果和园林实例相结合,探究静观型假山洞的营造方法,为当代园林假山营造和体验提供新的思路和途径。     

弹性力学教学中数学与力学问题的美学探讨

考虑工科本科生教学特点,在弹性力学教学中,抓住数学和力学问题的内在联系,采用矩阵表达的形式阐述直角坐标与极坐标的变换关系,以及物理量(如位移、体力、应力、应变)的坐标变换关系,并利用坐标变换从直角坐标中的基本方程直接导出极坐标中的基本方程。按照这一教学思路,将数学知识与弹性力学有机结合,简化基本方程的推导过程,在对知识点深入和透彻讲解的同时,可与学生共同体会和分享数学与力学完美融合过程中的美学感受。     

二元视角下的中西建筑美学比较——建筑美学辩证法(二)

随着全球化程度的不断加深,为了更好地开展对中国问题的思考与研究,文章试图通过中西比较发现并建构中国自身的特色与价值。本文从二元视角展开中西建筑美学的比较研究,提出西方建筑美学发展中的"二律背反"现象以及中国传统建筑美学中的"二元中和"现象,并希望这种比较研究能为未来中国特色建筑美学理论的建构起到一点作用。
