建筑师如何感知空间——兼论连续空间的视知觉机制

HOW DO ARCHITECTS PERCEIVE SPACE?

我在上一期短文中介绍了几个培养空间知觉的小练习。这些练习的基本目的是要达到一种思维的状态,即你操作的对象（图形）只是手段,而没有直接操作的部分（空间）才是你的目的。在＂平面游戏＂这个练习中,我们操作的目的是要使得空间也具有图形的品质。当空间具有图形的品质时,我们就认为这个空间有意义。我们通常把操作的对象称之为空间限定的要素,它可以是杆件（柱或梁）。

In this essay, architecture professor Gu Daqing explores the perceptual mechanisms through which architects perceive space when manipulating points, lines, and shapes on paper. His analysis centers on the issue of continuous space, which is a key concept of modern architecture. Gu first introduces a set of diagrams that explore the spatial implications of points, lines, and shapes andhow they focus attention in space. The second set of diagrams are based on a Gestalt illustration and suggest how negative space becomes positive when a shape emerges through the hints of formal elements surround it. The emerged shape is onty a phenomenon, not physically exists. I call it an implied shape.
