Mongrel Rapture , ARM architects
简介
Description
ARM被认为是国际上少数的作为“激进的后现代主义”模式运作的得以实践的建筑之一。ARM避开了品味和形式这种纯粹的概念，而是选择了一种“思想体系”。ARM的体系结构从Le Corbusier到Robert Venturi，从计算机编程到圣经，应有尽有。其来源广泛地受到评论家和公众的赞扬和评判。同时ARM的实践运用到了澳大利亚一些最重要的公共建筑上，包括澳大利亚国家博物馆（2001年），墨尔本独奏中心和MTC剧院(2008年)，以及珀斯竞技场(2013年)。
《Mongrel Rapture》结合了广泛的摄影和所有ARM主要建筑的平面图，以及包括Jencks, Mark C Taylor, Leon van Schaik, Harriet Edquist等一系列备受尊敬的评论家的文章。对于特别重视澳大利亚建筑和“激进的后现代主义”的人来说，这是一本至关重要的出版物。
ARM is identified as one of a handful of architectural practices internationally that operate in a mold “Radical Post Modernism”. Eschewing notions of good taste and formal purity, ARM opts instead for an “architecture of ideas”. Drawing from diverse sources that range across everything from Le Corbusier to Robert Venturi,computer programming to biblical verse. ARM’s architecture has been alternately celebrated and execrated by critics and the public alike. The practice has produced some of the most important public buildings in Australia, including the National Museum of Australia, Canberra (2001), Melbourne Recital Centre and MTC Theatre (2008), and the Perth Arena (2013).
"Mongrel Rapture" combines extensive photography and plans of all of ARM’s major buildings with essays from a range of highly regarded critics, including Jencks, Mark C Taylor, Leon van Schaik, Harriet Edquist and others. This is a vital publication for anyone with an interest in this practice and Australian architecture’s very particular strain of "Radical Post Modernism".

《建筑的复杂性与矛盾性》 罗伯特·文丘里
Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture , Robert Venturi
简介
Description
《建筑的复杂性和矛盾性》首次出版于1966年，自被翻译成16种语言以来，这本意义非凡的书已经成为建筑文学史上的重要文献。这本50年前出版且持续印刷至今的书，从根本上改变了我们看待、思考和谈论建筑的方式。作者Venturi用最具说服力和原创性的语言表达了后现代主义对具有纯粹主义的现代主义的反叛。本书通过对350张建筑照片的历史对比，阐明了作者在建筑中创作和体验的想法。《建筑中的复杂性和矛盾性》获得了AIA第七届年度国际建筑图书奖的经典图书奖。
“Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture” was first published in 1966, and since translated into 16 languages, this remarkable book has become an essential document of architectural literature. This book which was published 50 years ago and in print to the present day, fundamentally changed how we look at, think and talk about architecture. Venturi expresses in the most compelling and original terms the postmodern rebellion against the purism of modernism. Three hundred and fifty architectural photographs serve as historical comparisons and illuminate the author's ideas on creating and experiencing architecture. “Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture” was the winner of the Classic Book Award at the AIA's Seventh Annual International Architecture Book Awards.

A Pattern Language / A Timeless Way of Building, Christopher Alexander et al
简介
Description
《A Pattern Language》是一本出版于1977年的，关于建筑、城市设计和社区宜居性的书，作者是加州伯克利环境结构中心的Christopher Alexander, Sara Ishikawa，Murray Silverstein等。这本书创造了一种新的语言，作者称之为模式语言，用模式描述问题，然后提供解决方案。作者打算通过这种方式给普通人，而不仅仅是专业人士，一种工作方式，让他们与邻居合作来改善城镇或社区、为自己设计房子、与同事合作设计办公室、公共建筑或学校。
《The Timeless Way of Building》是Christopher Alexander在1979年出版的一本书，它提出了一种以设计为主题思想的新的建筑理论，这种理论依赖于对设计模式的理解和配置。虽然它出版的比较晚，但它本质上是对《A Pattern Language》的介绍，为作者所在的加州伯克利环境结构中心系列提供了哲学背景。它对在架构和软件设计领域的创造性思维产生了巨大的影响。
"A Pattern Language" is a book about architecture, urban design and community livability published in 1977. The authors are Christopher Alexander, Sara Ishikawa, Murray Silverstein, etc. of the Environmental Structure Center of Berkeley, California. This book creates a new language, the author calls it a pattern language, which uses patterns to describe problems and then provides solutions. In this way, the author intends to give ordinary people, not just professionals, a way of working, allowing them to work with their neighbors to improve towns or communities, design houses for themselves, and collaborate with colleagues to design offices, public buildings or schools.
“The Timeless Way of Building” is a book by Christopher Alexander published in 1979 that proposes a new theory of architecture (and design in general) that relies on the understanding and configuration of design patterns. Although it came out later, it is essentially the introduction to “A Pattern Language ”by the same author, providing the philosophical background to the Center for Environmental Structure series. It has had a huge influence on creative thinking, especially in the areas of architecture and software design.

《网络城市》詹姆斯·布莱利+方群
Networks Cities , James Brearley + Fang Qun
简介
Description
网络思维在城市设计理论中酝酿已久，网络是可渗透和开放的空间和社会结构，它促进了人员、思想、产品、信息和资本的流动。墨尔本大学建筑与城市设计的教授Kim Dovey说过：“城市网络的结构与一个社会的社会文化丰富性以及城市建筑的丰富性密切相关。”随着中国大规模城市化进程的推进，同时开发大片土地基本已成为常态，而不是个例。
詹姆斯·布莱利作为置身于轰轰烈烈的造城运动中的外国设计师，以其独特的视角、清醒的头脑对其进行了深刻的审视，并提出了网络城市的概念，试图解决超大区划和单一功能规划导致的城市问题，并收录了其他知名外国学者的相关论文。《网络城市》还加入了该作者运用这一理论在中国各地完成的或正在进行的项目，以增强说明性。
Network thinking has been a long time brewing in urban design theory. Networks are permeable and open spatial and social structures that facilitate flows of people, ideas, products, information and capital. Kim Dovey, the professor of Architecture and Urban Design at University of Melbourne，has said : “The structure of urban networks is strongly linked to the social and cultural richness of a society and to the urban and architectural richness of the city.”As China moves forward with its urbanization on a massive scale, almost simultaneous developments of very large tracts of land are the norm rather than the exception.
As being a foreign designer of this vigorous city movement, James Brearley tries to solve large districts and the single function planning of urban problems with his unique perspective and clear mind on the deep review by putting forward the concept of a city. Brearley also added some illustrative works that he has done or is doing in various parts of China to enhance the concept of “Network Cities”.

The Local Code , Michael Sorkin
简介
Description
Sorkin的设计不仅仅是纸上的线条或比例模型，同时代码在很大程度上也决定了这些线条必须遵循什么，以及这些模型将变成什么形状。对于大多数建筑师来说，建筑和区域划分的规定是必须遵守的，但如果他们可以研发属于自己的规则呢? 他们会说什么? 这些规定又会被怎样记录下来? 他们的潜在目标是什么? Sorkin做了一件大多数建筑师和城市设计师永远不会花时间去做的事: 他开发了一套代码，编写了一份“权利法案“，并设计了一个永远不会存在的乌托邦。《Local Code》几乎不需要逐字逐句地阅读，它更多的是给城市设计的学生们提供可在项目中使用的模板。
Design for Sorkin is much more than lines on paper or a scale model. It is also the codes that determine to a large degree what those lines must follow and what shape those models will become. For most architects building and zoning codes are mandates to follow. But what if they could develop their own? What would they dictate? How would they be written? And what would be their underlying goals? Sorkin did what most architects and urban designers would never spend the time on: he developed a code, complete with a Bill of Rights and designed for a Utopia that will never exist. Hardly a text to be read cover to cover, Local Code is more a template for students of urban design to use in their projects.

《癫狂的纽约》 雷姆·库哈斯
Delirious New York , Rem Koolhaas
简介
Description
《癫狂的纽约》一书中，库哈斯认为“曼哈顿的建筑是一种拥塞的开拓之范型，曼哈顿已产生自己的大都会都市主义――拥塞文化“，并提出了拥塞文化的三个定理：格子（Grid）、脑前叶切开术（lobotomy）、分裂（schism）。
格子代表曼哈顿的都市规划，表现出一种不自由和自由间的辩证关系；脑前叶切开术代表摩天大楼内外关系的决裂；分裂则代表摩天大楼叠豆腐式的空间构成造成上下楼层关系分裂的状况。库哈斯认为拥塞文化“解决了形式（外）与机能（内）长久以来的冲突，使曼哈顿的的建筑物兼具建筑和高效能机械，既现代又永恒。”
In "Delirious New York", Rem Koolhaas believes that "Manhattan's architecture is a pioneering paradigm of congestion, Manhattan has produced its own metropolitanism-congestion culture", and proposed three congestion culture. Theorem: Grid, lobotomy, schism.
The grid represents the urban planning of Manhattan, showing a dialectical relationship between freedom and freedom; anterior lobe incision represents the rupture of the relationship between inside and outside the skyscraper; split represents the split between the upper and lower floors due to the stacked tofu-like spatial composition of skyscraper Status. Koolhaas believes that the congested culture "resolves the long-standing conflict between form (outside) and function (inside), so that Manhattan's buildings are both architectural and high-performance machinery; modern and timeless."
