《重组城市》 戴维·格雷厄姆·肖恩
"Reorganizing the City" David Graham Shawn
简介
Description
克里克和沃森1953年发现的DNA结构，揭示了变异（mutation）现象之下隐藏的内在机制：一种有代码的、可以遗传、可以转换的DNA序列。改变这种序列就能够使有机体的结构发生变化。从此以后，有一种想法一直萦绕在我心头：城市里可能存在一种与生物学里DNA这样的螺旋代码相似的序列装置。
不过，城市演员（urbanactors）跟这种机制是什么关系，还是一个谜。即使排除纯粹的尺度上的差异，在这两个不同的领域能够找到的相似性也还是有限的；对城市进行的精心设计显然不同于生物体的变异过程，能量流经细胞也绝不同于能量流经城市。然而不管怎么说，通过多年的研究，城市演员们共享某种城市DNA它们又是怎样进行着代际交流的？
The DNA structure discovered by Crick and Watson in 1953 revealed the internal mechanism hidden under the phenomenon of mutation: a coded, inheritable, and transformable DNA sequence. Changing this sequence can change the structure of the organism. Since then, there has been an idea that has been lingering in my mind: there may be a sequence device similar to the spiral code of DNA in biology in the city.
However, the relationship between urban actors and this mechanism is still a mystery. Even if the difference in pure scale is excluded, the similarities that can be found in these two different fields are still limited; the careful design of the city is obviously different from the mutation process of the living body, and the energy flowing through the cell is absolutely different from energy. Flow through the city. However, after years of research, how do urban actors share some kind of urban DNA and how do they communicate between generations?

《重组城市》是我的研究生导师戴维·格雷厄姆·肖恩的成名作，它从一个非常贴近于建筑师的视角重新阐释了城市设计，这一二战以后涌现的新生概念对于我们所处空间与环境价值的深远影响。《重组城市》通过对于城市自身的结构性逻辑的隐喻以及全新城市概念和体系的提出，从某种程度上也使得建筑设计进一步消解了它作为“孤立制成品”的属性。也使得建筑学在之于城市设计语境的延伸中，重塑了它真正的跨学科价值。
"Reorganizing the City" is the famous work of my graduate tutor David Graham Sean. It reinterprets urban design from a perspective that is very close to the architect. This new concept that emerged after World War II is very important for us. The profound impact of space and environmental values. "Reorganizing the City" through the metaphor of the structural logic of the city itself and the proposal of a new urban concept and system, to a certain extent, the architectural design further eliminates its attribute as an "isolated manufactured product". It also makes architecture reshape its true interdisciplinary value in the extension of the urban design context.

《 1968年以来的建筑理论》
《Architecture Theory since 1968》
K.Michael Hays
简介
Description
在关于建筑的讨论中，有一种普遍的观点认为，自1968年以来，传统意义上的文化生产已不再被理解为是社会过程中的自发增长，而是现在必须通过更加自觉的理论来构建。程序。后结构主义，马克思主义，现象学，精神分析以及其他持异议或怪异的各种条纹的解释模式的发展，为学者提供了一系列工具来重新思考与其他领域相关的建筑以及重新确认建筑的普遍重要性本选集介绍了建筑理论的47个主要文本，向每个文本介绍了理解和评估所必需的概念和类别。它还提供了该时期具有重大理论影响的十二个项目或事件的文档。几篇论文首次以英文出现在这里。
In the discussion about architecture, there is a common view that since 1968, cultural production in the traditional sense is no longer understood as spontaneous growth in social processes, but must now be constructed through more conscious theories. . The development of procedural, post-structuralism, Marxism, phenomenology, psychoanalysis, and other dissident or weird patterns of interpretation provides a series of tools for scholars to rethink and reconfirm architecture related to other fields The universal importance of this anthology introduces 47 main texts of architectural theory, and introduces each text to the concepts and categories necessary for understanding and evaluation. It also provides documents of twelve projects or events with significant theoretical impact during the period. Several papers appeared here for the first time in English.

建筑理论层面的贡献往往都是来自非建筑的，就像1968的各种思潮对于后世的影响，至此建筑加快了自现代主义以来与传统甚至是现代主义建筑本身的的告别：故我的导师伯纳德屈米也把这个节点称为“Modernism After（现代主义以后）”。深层的政治经济文化的冲突与思潮的涌动，在建筑，作为曾经最为恒定的价值呈现的终端，在之后的三四十年间最终以如此多元的结果大放异彩。
he contribution of architectural theory is often from non-architecture, just like the influence of various ideological trends in 1968 on later generations. So far, architecture has accelerated the farewell to tradition and even modernist architecture itself since modernism: so my mentor Bernard De Cumi also called this node "Modernism After". The deep political, economic and cultural conflicts and the surging of thoughts in architecture, as the terminal of the most constant value ever presented, will finally shine with such diverse results in the following 30 to 40 years.

《建筑的复杂性与矛盾性》 罗伯特·文丘里
"The Complexity and Contradiction of Architecture" Robert Venturi
简介
Description
《建筑的复杂性与矛盾性》是文丘里很有影响的一部建筑理论著作。作者认为，建筑具有不足性，出色的建筑作品必然是矛盾的和复杂的，而不是非此即彼的纯净的或简单的。意义的丰盛胜于简明，甚至杂乱而有活力胜于明显的统一。密斯有一句名言“少就是多”，文丘里却认为“多并不是少”。
"The Complexity and Contradiction of Architecture" is an influential architectural theory work by Venturi. The author believes that architecture is inadequate, and outstanding architectural works must be contradictory and complex, rather than pure or simple either-or. The abundance of meaning is better than conciseness, and even chaos and vitality is better than obvious unity. Mies has a famous saying "less is more", but Venturi believes that "more is not less".

半个多世纪过去，面对着愈加复杂的世界与信息的洪流，也许我们实践的途径已经与后现代主义相去甚远，但现实依然毫不留情的印证着文丘里的预言，只是在摒弃了符号的包裹的外壳后，建筑学似乎在新的矛盾性与复杂性中与其本已有所剥离的本体价值渐行渐远。
More than half a century has passed, facing an increasingly complex world and a flood of information. Perhaps our approach to practice has been far from postmodernism, but the reality still ruthlessly confirms Venturi’s prophecy, and it is just abandoning it. After the enveloping shell of the symbol, architecture seems to be diverging away from its original value in the new contradictions and complexity.

技术迭代和技术原理背后的自我逻辑的思考方式是所有具有工程传统学科的共性。虽然计算科学的迭代速度和总量惊人，但是建筑学作为一个有着相似底层逻辑的古老学科，使得对比观察的视角对其的重新审视尤为有意义：比如跳脱出建筑学的传统途径和角度去看待建筑原型的迭代；比如重新看待建构文化对于工程逻辑的异化 - 在一种被加速被量化的语境中重新审视建筑学或其他的传统学科，可能是本书带给我们的另一种启示。
Technical iteration and the self-logic thinking behind technical principles are common to all traditional engineering disciplines. Although the iteration speed and total amount of computational science are amazing, architecture, as an ancient discipline with similar underlying logic, makes it particularly meaningful to re-examine it from the perspective of contrast observation: for example, to look beyond the traditional approaches and perspectives of architecture. The iteration of architectural archetypes; such as a re-examination of the alienation of constructional culture to engineering logic-re-examining architecture or other traditional disciplines in a context that has been accelerated and quantified may be another inspiration from this book.

《锦灰堆》 王世襄
"Pile of Brocade Ashes" Wang Shixiang
简介
Description
《锦灰堆》一二卷收集了作者在80岁以前所写的大部分文章，计105篇，第三卷则以手书影印的形式选收了王世襄历年所作的诗词120首。全书计有线图234幅，黑白图424幅，彩图255幅，可谓琳琅满目，令人爱不释手。
尤其令人叫绝的，是其所收的105篇文章分为家具、漆具、竹刻、工艺、则例、书画、雕塑、乐舞、忆往、游艺、饮食、杂稿等十二类。其涉及面之广，在个人的自选集类书籍中极为罕见，从中也可看出作者兴趣之博杂，积累之用心。如果说，对于古代家具，特别是明代家具，以及书画之类的详细讨论还是可在传统的文物类书籍中时常见到的话，那么，对于竹刻的把握可能就是更有该书作者之特色的了。而对于像葫芦、鸽哨这类小玩艺的长篇讨论，恐怕更非常人所能设想厂。此书既可以作为收藏发烧友的手册，又可使普通读者增长见闻，或作别致的艺术品来“把玩”。
The first and second volumes of "Jin Hui Dui" collect most of the articles written by the author before the age of 80, totaling 105 articles. The third volume contains 120 poems written by Wang Shixiang over the years in the form of handwritten photocopy. The book contains 234 wired pictures, 424 black-and-white pictures, and 255 color pictures.
What is particularly amazing is that the 105 articles it has received are divided into twelve categories, including furniture, lacquerware, bamboo carving, craftsmanship, examples, painting and calligraphy, sculpture, music and dance, memories, entertainment, food, and miscellaneous manuscripts. It covers a wide range and is extremely rare in personal self-selected books. It can also be seen that the author's interests are diverse and the accumulation of intentions. If it is said that detailed discussions on ancient furniture, especially Ming Dynasty furniture, as well as calligraphy and painting, can still be found in traditional cultural relic books, then the grasp of bamboo carvings may be more characteristic of the author of the book. . As for the long discussion of small things like gourd and pigeon whistle, I am afraid that people can even imagine the factory. This book can not only be used as a manual for collecting enthusiasts, but also allows ordinary readers to increase their knowledge, or as a unique artwork to "play".

《时间的秩序》 卡洛·罗韦利
"The Order of Time" by Carlo Rovelli
简介
Description
为什么我们记得过去，而非未来？时间“流逝”意味着什么？是我们存在于时间之内，还是时间存在于我们之中？卡洛·罗韦利用诗意的文字，邀请我们思考这一亘古难题——时间的本质。
在我们的直觉里，时间是全宇宙统一的，稳定地从过去流向未来，可以用钟表度量。可罗韦利向我们揭示出一个奇怪 的宇宙，在这里，时间的特质一一坍塌，在最基本的层面上，时间消失了。他告诉我们，我们对时间流逝的感知，取决于我们的视角……
Why do we remember the past, not the future? What does it mean to "pass" time? Do we exist within time, or does time exist within us? Carlo Rover uses poetic words to invite us to think about this ancient problem—the nature of time.
In our intuition, time is uniform throughout the universe, flowing steadily from the past to the future, which can be measured by clocks. But Rovelli reveals to us a strange universe, where the characteristics of time collapse one by one, and at the most basic level, time disappears. He told us that our perception of the passage of time depends on our perspective...

这本书颠覆了我们对这个世界的基本逻辑和认知。其实我们生活在一个单一时间轴线的维度中，我们所讲的因果、逻辑、理性思维的呈现都是基于一种线性时间的观念。这本书从数理、科学的方式颠覆了我们的思维方式，不仅是科学，更多的是从人文、信仰、认知体系亦能体现如此。
This book has subverted our basic logic and understanding of this world. In fact, we live in the dimension of a single time axis.

《大设计》史蒂芬·霍金
《The Grand Design》 Stephen Hawking
简介
Description
宇宙何时并如何起始？我们为何在此？为何是有非无？何为实在本性？为何自然定律被这么精细地调谐至让我们这样的生命存在？以及最后，我们宇宙的表观“大设计”能否证实使事物运行的仁慈的造物主？科学能否提供另一种解释？有关宇宙起源以及生命本身的最基本的问题，曾经为哲学的范围，现在占据着科学家、哲学家和神学家相遇但却自说自话的领地。在霍金和蒙洛迪诺的新书中，他们以精彩简朴的非专业语言表述有关宇宙奥秘的最新的科学思考。
这是一部简洁的惊人的附有大量插图的指南，导向正在改变我们的宇宙观并危及我们最神圣的信仰系统的一些发现。没有任何一本书像《大设计》这样信息丰富，这样刺激。
When and how did the universe begin? Why are we here? Why is there something? What is real nature? Why are the laws of nature so finely tuned to allow life like us to exist? And finally, can the apparent "great design" of our universe confirm the benevolent Creator who makes things work? Can science provide another explanation? The most basic questions about the origin of the universe and life itself, once the domain of philosophy, now occupy the territory where scientists, philosophers and theologians meet but talk to themselves. In the new book of Hawking and Monrodino, they express the latest scientific thinking about the mysteries of the universe in wonderful and simple non-professional language.
This is a succinct and surprisingly illustrated guide that leads to discoveries that are changing our cosmology and endangering our most sacred belief system. No book is as informative and exciting as "The Great Design".

它提供一种思维方式去对抗我们本能的认知模型，挑战认知的局限和自己盲目的状态。我们认为的真实性基于人类主观的认知体系，而体系的建构，以及关联的故事性、规律性、时间正序等，都基于“Hypothesis”，虽然研究假设是科学的体系和认知方式，但这种科学体系并不具备可证实和可证伪性。于是我们在建筑实践中越来越强调“Context”，以及相对的合理性。我们设定一系列的“Hypothesis”，并在自证的体系中得到延续。作为建筑师，这两本书可以在职业中帮助我们建立一套适合自己的模型，看待世界的方式，不仅是建筑模型，还可能是思维模型、认知观念的模式，以及打破自己旧的模式，在不同项目中突破自己的途径。
It provides a way of thinking to counter our instinctive cognitive model, challenging the limitations of cognition and our own blind state. The authenticity we believe is based on the human subjective cognitive system, and the construction of the system, as well as the associated story, regularity, and time sequence, are all based on "Hypothesis", although the research hypothesis is a scientific system and cognitive method. But this kind of scientific system is not verifiable and falsifiable. Therefore, we increasingly emphasize "Context" and relative rationality in architectural practice. We set up a series of "Hypothesis" and continued in the self-certified system. As architects, these two books can help us build a set of models suitable for us in our profession. The way of looking at the world is not only architectural models, but also thinking models, cognitive concepts, and breaking our old models , Break through your own way in different projects.

《建构文化研究》Kenneth Frampton
"Constructive Cultural Studies" Kenneth Frampton
简介
Description
《建构文化研究》是对整个现代建筑传统的重新思考。弗兰姆普敦探讨的建构观念将建筑视为一种建造的技艺，它向迷恋后现代主义艺术的主流思想提出有力的挑战，并且展现了一条令人信服的别开生面的建筑道路。确实，弗兰姆普敦据理力争的观点就是，现代建筑不仅与空间和抽象形式息息相关，而且也在同样至关重要的程度上与结构和建造血肉相连。
在本书中，弗兰姆普敦清晰地阐述了结构工程与建构想象是以何等不同的方式呈现。在佩雷、赖特、康、斯卡帕和密斯的建筑之中，以及建造形式和材料特征是如何在这几位建筑师的建筑表现中发挥相辅相成的作用的。此外，弗兰姆普敦的分析还表明，这些元素贯穿在某位建筑师作品中的方式也就构成了评判该建筑师整体建筑发展的基础。这一点尤其突出地体现在弗兰姆普敦对佩雷、密斯和康的建筑作品和思想态度的历史威份的分析之中。
在弗兰姆普敦看来，积极主动地挖掘建构传统对于未来建筑形式的发展具有至关重要的意义，同时也可以为现代性和“先锋派”历史地位的讨论提供了全新的批判性视角。
"Constructive Culture Research" is a rethinking of the entire modern architectural tradition. The concept of construction discussed by Frampton regards architecture as a craft of construction. It poses a powerful challenge to the mainstream ideas that are obsessed with postmodern art and presents a convincing and innovative approach to architecture. Indeed, Frampton’s rationale is that modern architecture is not only closely related to space and abstract form, but also to the same vital degree as structure and construction.
In this book, Frampton clearly explains how structural engineering and constructive imagination are presented in different ways. In the buildings of Perret, Wright, Kang, Scarpa, and Mies, and how the construction form and material characteristics play a complementary role in the architectural performance of these architects. In addition, Frampton’s analysis also shows that the way these elements permeate an architect’s work also constitutes the basis for judging the architect’s overall architectural development. This is particularly prominent in Frampton’s analysis of the historical authority of Perret, Mies and Kang’s architectural works and attitudes.
In Frampton’s view, proactively exploring and constructing tradition is of vital importance to the development of future architectural forms, and it can also provide a new critical perspective for the discussion of modernity and the historical status of the "avant-garde" .

这本书从完全建筑师的视角，通过解读建筑本身作为物质性和自身价值体系的文化载体，来诠释建筑的意义。在谈建构文化前，建筑的文化属性 是依附于其它载体的，比如说承载人的活动、行为和社会属性。往往在谈建筑 价值的时候会剥离建筑自身的特性。Kenneth Frampton 的观点是回到了建筑本身特有的历史线索，去看待建筑自身作为一个载体的意义。由于一系列的生产施工，工程中产生的副产品，比如欧洲的拱券或中国的斗拱，都是受到制造工艺和生产过程背后因素的影响而形成的文化符号。
这本书的体系是根植于建筑产品自身价值属性的，可以说是一个里程碑式的看待建筑和这个行业的方式，把建筑本身上升到和音乐绘画一样与文化产生强关联的艺术载体，再去谈论建筑。可以说是对建筑的一次自证的过程，这是这本书非常重要的价值，作为Kenneth Frampton的学生，这也是我一直以来在项目里去审视自己的方式。
这本书写作的历史背景也是很值得探讨的，这本书的大历史背景处于后现代主义时期盛行时期，充斥一系列抽离的符号和不同的意向。而符号被大量转译的过程中，事物的物质性被剥离，同时赋予了文化属性。虽然这本书写于几十年以前，但是对于现代社会有非常强的借鉴意义和导论作用。
在现代社会中，建筑不同于网络媒体和线上体验，是能感知到实体感、真实性，可以体会到的文脉和关联价值的载体，这是我们再谈建构文化的意义。在建造过程中发掘建筑的价值、结构的意义和建造的诗意，这些不是被转译过的阳春白雪，而是真正的回归土地、建造和过程。这些细节和背后的内在逻辑，恰恰是建筑这个载体原生的美学价值所在。
From the perspective of a complete architect, this book interprets the meaning of architecture by interpreting architecture itself as the cultural carrier of materiality and its own value system. Before talking about constructing culture, the cultural attributes of architecture are dependent on other carriers, such as the activities, behaviors, and social attributes that carry people. Often when discussing the value of architecture, the characteristics of the building itself are stripped away. Kenneth Frampton's point of view is to return to the unique historical clues of the building itself, to look at the meaning of the building itself as a carrier. Due to a series of production and construction, the by-products produced in the project, such as European arch coupons or Chinese bucket arches, are cultural symbols formed by the influence of the manufacturing process and the factors behind the production process.
The system of this book is rooted in the value attributes of architectural products. It can be said to be a milestone way of looking at architecture and the industry, elevating the architecture itself to an art carrier that is strongly related to culture like music and painting. Talk about architecture. It can be said that it is a process of self-certification of architecture. This is a very important value of this book. As a student of Kenneth Frampton, this is also the way I have been examining myself in projects.
The historical background of the writing of this book is also worth exploring. The big historical background of this book is in the prevalence of postmodernism, and it is full of a series of separated symbols and different intentions. In the process of large numbers of symbols being translated, the materiality of things is stripped away and cultural attributes are also given. Although this book was written several decades ago, it has a very strong reference and introductory effect to modern society.
In modern society, architecture is different from online media and online experience. It is a carrier that can perceive the sense of substance, authenticity, and the context and associated value that can be experienced. This is the meaning of constructing culture. In the process of construction, the value of architecture, the meaning of structure, and the poetry of construction are discovered. These are not the transliterated sun and white snow, but the true return to the land, construction and process. These details and the internal logic behind it are precisely the original aesthetic value of the carrier of architecture.
