批判性建筑——在文化和形式之间

作为批判性话题中的经典之作，海斯在文章中系统地回顾了长期以来在建筑学中存在的两种基本态度：其一是将建筑看作是主导文化的一个部门和意识形态的再现，也就是“建筑作为文化手段”；其二是“建筑作为自治形式”．将建筑看作无关任何外部文本和前在状况的先验形式逻辑之再现。通过对密斯的若干经典建筑的再解读，海斯描述了在文化和形式之间存在的批判性领域。他进而提出了批判性建筑的观念，将建筑放置到它自身的世间性状况中去，以开放的批判的态度来面对不确定的经验状况。通过对如上两种对立态度及其二分法的抵抗和对抗．海斯认为，可以依靠建筑师的著述过程建立起批判的建筑知识体系和实践策略。

Critical Architecture Between Culture and Form

As a classical reading in the discourses of architecture criticality, Hays reviewed systematically two conflict positions： one sees architecture as a department of dominate culture and representation of social ideology ,that is, Architecture as an ＂Instrument of Culture＂; the other sees architecture, contradictorily, as an ＂Autonomous Form＂——representation of a priori ogic of form, detached from any exterior texts and anterior conditions. After the re-interpretation of some important works of Mies Van der Rohe, Hays described a territory of＂critical architecture＂ which exists between culture and form. By placing architecture in its＂wordliness realm, the uncertain experience of reality thus can be confronted in an open and critical way. Hays emphasized critical architecture as ＂resistant and oppsitional＂ to the two competitive positions and their dichotomy regime; Architects＇ authorship,thus, works as a resistant authority, from which a critical way of producing architecture knowledge and performing practice derives.
