建筑何以中国?——由王振复《建筑中国:半片砖瓦到十里楼台》引发的思考

How Architecture Presents China——Reflections on Wang Zhenfu's Architectural China:from Pieces of Bricks to Series of Terraces

王振复先生的《建筑中国:半片砖瓦到十里楼台》是一部中国建筑艺术史及其美学的佳作新构。他并未采取时间线性的建筑发展阶段的划分,而是从建筑本体出发,展开对中国建筑何以成为艺术、如何表达甚至涵盖中国艺术史以及“何以中国”问题的论述。受此种中国建筑艺术史书写方式的启发,笔者认为中国建筑艺术史是“见人”又“见物”的艺术史,中国建筑艺术史作为中国艺术史的一种独特呈现方式,主要表现为“建筑诗意”凝淀的发展史。中国建筑作为家国情怀的艺术担当、土木结构的哲学构型和中国文化与艺术的具象展示,理应成为当下中国艺术史书写与构建的独特对象及其内涵与外延。

Wang Zhenfu's Architectural China:from pieces of bricks to series of terraces is a new construction of the history of Chinese architectural art and aesthetics.He did not adopt the time linear divisions of architectural development stages,but started from the architecture itself,to discuss the issues of why Chinese architecture becomes art,how to be expressed and even covers the history of Chinese art and“how it could present China”.Inspired by this writing method of the history on Chinese architectural art,we consider that the history of Chinese architectural art is an art history of pattern in“seeing people”and“seeing things”.As a unique presentation of Chinese art history,the history of Chinese architectural art is mainly manifested in the development history of“architectural poetry”.As the artistic duty of national feelings,the philosophical configuration of civil structure and the display of concrete image of Chinese culture and art,it should be the unique object,connotation and extension of the writing and construction of the current Chinese art history.
