“减法”在设计美学中的探讨

Discussion on “Subtraction Method” in Design Aesthetics

文章重点以建筑师Gordon Matta-Clark看似暴力的建筑设计实践为例,深入地探讨了一种“外表的追求中逐步退出”的设计美学——“减法”。对于“减法”设计美学的研讨主要从形式、层次和过程的重构;不确定性、复杂性和模糊性,以及感觉、经验和方向的重新建立三个方面来展开,最终点出了这种经由“减法”摧毁(削减)了原有语意后所产生的一种新的秩序的意义所在。

The article focuses on the seemingly violent architectural design practice of architect Gordon Matta-Clark,and explores in depth the design aesthetics of“gradual withdrawal from the pursuit of appearance”and“subtraction”.The discussion on the aesthetics of“subtraction”design is mainly carried out from three aspects:reconstruction of form,hierarchy and process,uncertainty,complexity and ambiguity,and re-establishment of feeling,experience and direction.The significance of a new order created by destroying(reducing)the original language after the“subtraction”is put forward.
