推荐理由
Reason for Recommendation
建筑设计的过程中，场地关系，“内“与“外”关系考虑相当重要。但我们是否真正了解环境，了解自然？如何聆听植物，观察每个植物的自然边界，是否置身于自然之间，观察过，思考过。
In the process of architectural design, it is very important to consider the relationship between the site and the relationship between "inside" and "outside". But do we really understand the environment and nature? How to listen to plants, observe the natural boundaries of each plant, whether you are in nature, have observed and thought about it.

Sambuichi and the Inland Sea
三分一博志
简介
Description
介绍近年建筑师三分一弘在濑户内海地区的七件作品。 作者仔细分析了在地球上运动的材料（风、空气、水、太阳）与地形之间的关系，深入研究了场地的各个方面，然后创造了他认为最合适的建筑形式。 这本书包含大量照片、草图和图纸，详细说明了 Sambuichi 独特的设计方法以及将概念付诸实践的过程，其结构传达了场地的清新通风。 作品有宫岛美千天文台、六甲志达天文台、“犬岛精炼所美术馆”、“直岛会馆”、“间部”、“广岛马自达大厦”等。
Introduces seven works in the Seto Inland Sea region that have been the focus of architect Hiroshi Sambuichi's activities in recent years. The author analyses closely the relationship between materials that move on the earth (wind, air, water, sun) and the terrain, thoroughly researching all aspects of the site, before creating the architectural form that he feels is most suitable. The book includes an abundance of photos, sketches, and drawings illustrating in detail Sambuichi's unique design approach and the process of bringing the concept to fruition, in a structure that conveys the fresh airiness of the site. Works include Miyajima Misen Observatory, Rokko-Shidare Observatory, “Inujima Seirensho Art Museum”, “Naoshima Hall”, “Matabe”, and “Hiroshima Mazda Building”.

Reason for Recommendation
对自然充满尊敬，转瞬即逝与环境。三分一博志对每个项目对周围环境都保证有四个季度的观察。我们时常关注于静态材料来塑造空间，但三分一博志从四季的变化中去观察“动的材料“，让我们重新关注自然引入到空间内的更多可能性。
Full of respect for nature, fleeting and environment. Hiroshi Sambuichi guarantees four quarters of observations of the surrounding environment for each project. We often focus on static materials to shape space, but Sanfenyi Bozhi observes "moving materials" from the changes of the four seasons, allowing us to re-focus on the more possibilities for nature to be introduced into the space.

The Noisy Renaissance
Niall Atkinson
简介
Description
通过分析一系列文献和文学证据，艺术和建筑历史学家 Niall Atkinson 创建了佛罗伦萨的“声学地形”。官方信息的传播、祈祷的节奏、谣言和八卦的杂音共同形成了一个音景，成为创建和维护城市社区的基础，就像城市的实体建筑一样。这个空间中的声音引发了各种各样的社会行为和空间关系：等级、个人、社区、政治、家庭、性、精神和宗教。
Analyzing a range of documentary and literary evidence, art and architectural historian Niall Atkinson creates an “acoustic topography” of Florence. The dissemination of official messages, the rhythm of prayer, and the murmur of rumor and gossip combined to form a soundscape that became a foundation in the creation and maintenance of the urban community just as much as the city’s physical buildings. Sound in this space triggered a wide variety of social behaviors and spatial relations: hierarchical, personal, communal, political, domestic, sexual, spiritual, and religious.
推荐理由
Reason for Recommendation
日常我们会去聆听对话，音乐，风，雨等近距离的声音。似乎没有人问过：城市听起来像什么，噪音如何塑造城市环境？佛罗伦萨的文艺复兴时期是一个受到学者广泛关注的地方和时间。Niall Atkinson将声音牢牢地带回到了城市感官中，恢复了以声音为特征的城市及其生活的实例和方式。
Everyday we will listen to dialogue, music, wind, rain and other close sounds. No one seems to have asked: what does a city sound like, and how does noise shape the urban environment? The Renaissance in Florence is a place and time that has received extensive attention from scholars. Niall Atkinson brought the sound firmly back to the urban sense, restoring the city and its life examples and methods characterized by sound.

Other Criteria
Leo Steinberg
简介
Description
Leo Steinberg 的经典“其他标准”包括 18 篇论文，主题范围从“当代艺术及其公众的困境”和“平板画平面”到对毕加索、劳森伯格、罗丹、德库宁、波洛克、古斯顿和 贾斯珀·约翰斯。 最后一篇被弗朗辛·杜普莱西克斯·格雷称为“批判方法的杰作”，被广泛认为是对约翰斯有史以来作品最令人大开眼界的分析。 这个版本包括一个新的前言和一些额外的插图。
Leo Steinberg's classic "Other Criteria" comprises eighteen essays on topics ranging from "Contemporary Art and the Plight of Its Public" and the "flat-bed picture plane" to reflections on Picasso, Rauschenberg, Rodin, de Kooning, Pollock, Guston, and Jasper Johns. The last, which Francine du Plessix Gray called "a tour de force of critical method," is widely regarded as the most eye-opening analysis of Johns' work ever written. This edition includes a new preface and a handful of additional illustrations.
推荐理由
Reason for Recommendation
Leo Steinberg 是20世纪最杰出的艺术史学家之一，书中收集到大量现代艺术史的论文，即使艺术的影响力没有那么强烈，但运用的对话语气非常令人着迷。书本身更像是一个艺术写作和阅读的典范，在深入研究其他历史和理论资源之前，来思考艺术作品本身的更多可能性。
Leo Steinberg is one of the most outstanding art historians of the 20th century. The book collects a large number of modern art history essays. Even if the influence of art is not so strong, the dialogue style used is very fascinating. The book itself is more like a model of artistic writing and reading. Before delving into other historical and theoretical resources, let's think about the more possibilities of the artwork itself.

A Short History of the Shadow
Victor Stoichita
简介
Description
在这个调查性的杰作中，Victor I. Stoichita 解开了困扰西方艺术家的最持久的技术和象征性挑战之一——阴影的描绘和意义的历史。阴影的表现，尤其是投下的阴影，与艺术本身一样古老，因为根据古典作家的说法，艺术诞生于首先描绘投在墙上的人影的轮廓，以便以一个剪影。
In this investigative tour de force, Victor I. Stoichita untangles the history of one of the most enduring technical and symbolic challenges to beset Western artists - the depiction and meanings of shadows. The representation of shadow, and especially of cast shadow, is as old as art itself, for according to classical writers art was born when the outline of a human shadow thrown onto a wall was first traced out in order to capture it in the form of a silhouette.
推荐理由
Reason for Recommendation
“阴影”在西方艺术中的代表性，以及围绕“阴影”的概念以及理论，包含哲学和文学的思潮。在空间中“阴影”是否也有其他形态表现的可能？
The representation of "shadow" in Western art, and the concepts and theories surrounding "shadow" include philosophical and literary trends. Are there other forms of "shadow" in the space?

Reason for Recommendation
OMA / AMO的报告中总是使用非常描述性的观察风格。正如书名所暗示的那样，它没有提供任何结论，而是来自雷姆本人的更多问题。也像一份有关农村或仅在城市或大都市边界以外发生的情况的报告：执行中心，永久冻土，大猩猩保护，像素农业，工业园区，数据中心，国家公园，以及横跨多个大洲的许多其他区域。从媒体以外的视角来了解超出都市边界情况的报告。
OMA/AMO reports always use a very descriptive observation style. As the title implies, it does not provide any conclusions, but more questions from Rem himself. Also like a report on what happens in the countryside or only outside the boundaries of cities or metropolitan areas: execution centers, permafrost, gorilla protection, pixel agriculture, industrial parks, data centers, national parks, and across multiple continents Many other areas. Learn about reports that go beyond the boundaries of the city from a perspective other than the media.

Gordon Matta-Clark: Physical Poetics
Frances Richard
简介
Description
这本极具原创性的书将诗人的视角带入了艺术家的档案，审视了美国艺术家戈登·马塔-克拉克（Gordon Matta-Clark，1943-1978 年）的艺术和思想中的文字游戏。 Matta-Clark 是后极简主义一代的关键人物，也是一位著名超现实主义者的儿子，是 1970 年代纽约市中心艺术家社区的领导者，被广泛认为是后来广为人知的先驱作为社会实践艺术。他以他的“无建筑”环境和表演，以及记录他特定地点工作的电影、照片、绘画和雕塑片段而闻名。在他的职业生涯研究中，这位艺术家具有挑衅性和生动性的语言被不断引用。然而，他的实践的语言方面以前并没有被单独审查过。这项广泛研究的研究将马塔-克拉克的视觉和口头创作与接受历史和批判传记相结合，研究了马塔-克拉克艺术中的语言和符号形式，这些形式激活了他所谓的“心理轨迹诗学”和“总（符号）系统。”弗朗西斯·理查德 (Frances Richard) 根据对他的作品的整体揭示，检查笔记、陈述、标题、信件和采访，发掘档案、传记和历史信息，将马塔-克拉克与概念主义同行以及超现实主义和达达派的前辈联系起来。 Gordon Matta-Clark: Physical Poetics 探索了 Matta-Clark 语言自相矛盾的持久性，以及它在主要作品被毁的激进的物理作品中的作用。
Bringing a poet's perspective to an artist's archive, this highly original book examines wordplay in the art and thought of American artist Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-1978). A pivotal figure in the postminimalist generation who was also the son of a prominent Surrealist, Matta-Clark was a leader in the downtown artists' community in New York in the 1970s, and is widely seen as a pioneer of what has come to be known as social practice art. He is celebrated for his "anarchitectural" environments and performances, and the films, photographs, drawings, and sculptural fragments with which his site-specific work was documented. In studies of his career, the artist's provocative and vivid language is referenced constantly. Yet the verbal aspect of his practice has not previously been examined in its own right. Blending close readings of Matta-Clark's visual and verbal creations with reception history and critical biography, this extensively researched study engages with the linguistic and semiotic forms in Matta-Clark's art, forms that activate what he called the "poetics of psycho-locus" and "total (semiotic) system." Examining notes, statements, titles, letters, and interviews in light of what they reveal about his work at large, Frances Richard unearths archival, biographical, and historical information, linking Matta-Clark to Conceptualist peers and Surrealist and Dada forebears. Gordon Matta-Clark: Physical Poetics explores the paradoxical durability of Matta-Clark's language, and its role in an aggressively physical oeuvre whose major works have been destroyed.

Reason for Recommendation
刚开始接触的这本书分为四个部分-第一个部分称为“诗意的建筑学”，作者对文字，建筑和生活进行了textual or inter-textual reading， 一种很自由流动的形式。 最后一部分“空间主义”以她对他的政治生活和旅途的描述而著称，回想起他在欧洲和南美自由旅行的能力。他是一位艺术家，并以身体行动介入空间的艺术实践，来看见空间的多重可能。
The book I just started to contact is divided into four parts-the first part is called "Poetic Architecture". The author conducts textual or inter-textual reading on words, architecture and life, which is a very free-flowing form. The last part of "spatialism" is known for her description of his political life and journey, recalling his ability to travel freely in Europe and South America. He is an artist, and he intervenes in the artistic practice of space with his physical actions to see the multiple possibilities of space.

A Pattern Language
Christopher Alexander / Sara Ishigawa / Murray Silverstein
简介
Description
你可以用这本书和家人一起为自己设计房子；您可以使用它与您的邻居一起改善您的城镇和社区；你可以用它来设计办公室、车间或公共建筑。您可以使用它来指导您进行实际的构建过程。
经过十年的沉默，环境结构中心的克里斯托弗·亚历山大和他的同事现在以三本书的形式发表了一份重要声明，用他们的话来说，“为一种全新的建筑、建筑方法奠定基础。和规划，我们希望这将完全取代现有的想法和做法。”这三本书是永恒的建筑方式、俄勒冈实验和这本书，模式语言。
You can use this book to design a house for yourself with your family; you can use it to work with your neighbors to improve your town and neighborhood; you can use it to design an office, or a workshop, or a public building. And you can use it to guide you in the actual process of construction.
After a ten-year silence, Christopher Alexander and his colleagues at the Center for Environmental Structure are now publishing a major statement in the form of three books which will, in their words, "lay the basis for an entirely new approach to architecture, building and planning, which will we hope replace existing ideas and practices entirely." The three books are The Timeless Way of Building, The Oregon Experiment, and this book, A Pattern Language.

Christopher用散文一样的方式讲述了不同尺度的空间，从区域的规划至城镇的设计，从街区的布置到房屋的设计，从庭院至室内，设计可以根据特定的约束以不同的方式进行组合。书中描述的每个模式都很迷人，仿佛满足一切对理想空间的想象。
Christopher used the same prose to describe spaces of different scales, from regional planning to town design, from block layout to house design, and from courtyard to interior. Design can be combined in different ways according to specific constraints. Each mode described in the book is fascinating, as if it satisfies all the imagination of the ideal space.
