建构的“不可见性(内在的可见性)” 重力和建构紧致集

The In-Visibility of Tectonics Gravity and the Tectonic Compacts

作者对于建构的一个重要特点——不可见性作了详细的阐述。不可见性的另一重含义意味着将可见性内部化,应用到建构中去。作者认为建构从字面上一直没有得到确切的解释。从建构的不可见性(内在的可见性)作者引出了自己的一个概念,即建构的紧致集(在此作者引用了数学术语),例如混凝土本身就可以成为一个"建构的紧致集",它可以形成一个足够的系统,产生一个定义标准,让我们更好地建造。为此作者例举了现代建筑大师路易·康、勒里柯莱等人的实践来论证这一点;当阐述重力的概念对于建构的影响时,作者立足于传统的欧几里得数学、相对论和拓扑学等当代数学和物理学对重力概念的改变,以及这种改变在抽象艺术和现代建筑领域中所产生的影响,并认为这种影响与建构的阅读性和不可见性有着相当的关联。

The author describes carefully an important feature of Tectonics--the in-visibility, which is internalizing the issue of visibility into that of tectonics, whether you see things or not. The concept of tectonics is literally less clear defined anywhere. The author also introduces his concept--＂Tectonic Compacts＂ （He borrows a mathematics term here）. For example, the concrete itself could be a tectonic compact, which means it can be made into enough of a system to give us the defining criteria to build well. The author uses the architects Louis I. Kahn,Robert LeRicolais＇ practices as example to proof his concept. When discussing the influence to tectonics caused by the change of the concept of gravity in contemporary science, the author seeks supports from Euclidian geometry, relativity, topography and other contemporary mathematics and physics, and discuss such change has caused great influences over abstract art and modern architecture. These influences in the science, art and architecture fields are also tightly related to the readability and invisibility of tectonics.
