化石的比喻:进化论与20世纪中后期的乡土建筑研究

The Fossil Metaphor:Evolution Theory and Studies on Vernacular Architecture in Late 20th-century

20世纪中后期是乡土建筑研究的一个兴盛期。在进化论以及结构主义、马克思主义等理论影响下,化石比喻作为主导性类比,显著地影响了该时期对建筑等物质文化的解读,在建筑与意义认知表达、建筑与社会文化体系的研究中形成了明显的"系统性"特征。

The late 20 th-century saw the rise of studies on vernacular architecture, for which the fossil metaphor emerged as a dominant trope. Under the influence of evolution theory, structuralism and Marxism,the understanding of vernacular architecture as the representation of psychic unity or different stages of social evolution was characterized by a certain ＂systemness＂.
