多元与选择

Plurality and Selection

我们从一个个人选择范围有限的非此即彼的社会迈入一个多种选择的社会。——约翰·奈斯比特多元论的确是我们时代的产物。过去,曾经长期为人类所遵奉的一元论强调的是世界的有机统一性,它从—开始就坚持事物在时间上的统一性、永恒性和在空间上的不可分性。

while the pluralism of architecture can not do without the establishment of individuality,the really valuable creations must be those which cater to the emotion and ideal of the public and take ego-sur- passing as their goal.They should by no-means be the expression of architects' artistry or their personal viewpoint.Being not simply the variety of forms or styles,pluralism ought to,be a progress of found- ing a completely new architectural culture.The so-called individuality of architecture should in the first place embody the originality of meeting the needs of human being's everyday life and solving the re- levant problems.Just in view of this,the developmental trend of national architecture can be grasped under the background of pluralistic culture.
