世博会的记忆

Memory of Expo

通过转述罗兰·巴特与让·鲍德里亚得关于巴黎埃菲尔铁塔及蓬皮杜中心的评论,提供一个比较的视角来分析上海世博会的城市记忆及其文化含义。中国城市运动的一个巨大失落是城市记忆及情景建筑的消解。城市不是鲁莽的符号建筑的临时聚会。一个城市的文化取决于人的空间的持续生成,即人性能够直接地呈现在戏剧化景象中。

Introducing Roland Barthes and Jean Baudrillard＇ s writings on the Eiffel Tower and the Pompidou Center in Paris,this paper provides a comparative perspective on the memory of the Shanghai Expo architecture and its cultural implications.A huge loss in Chinese urbanism is the eradication of urban memory and emotional architecture.A city is not a temporary exhibition of reckless signage buildings.The urban culture depends upon the consistent creation of human space where humanity is immediately lived through theatrical views.
