当建筑学遭遇文化实践理论—《建筑师解读布迪厄》

When Architecture Meets the Theory of Cultural Practice: Bourdieu for Architects

《建筑师解读布迪厄》是关于20世纪法国著名社会学家皮埃尔·布迪厄相关理论的入门导引,从建筑师视角出发,旨在向建筑圈读者介绍布迪厄的相关研究成果,并展示将其应用于建筑学的可行性.结合建筑学相关研究,对该书中所涉及的布迪厄的结构人类学课题、阶级区隔研究和以惯习、资本和场域为核心概念工具的文化实践理论进行了简要总结与梳理,或可为将布迪厄相关理论引入国内建筑学微观性个案和宏观性反思研究.

Bourdieu for Architects offers an introduction to the theories of Pierre Bourdieu, the prominent 20th century French sociologist. From the vantage point of an architect, it aims at facilitating a familiarization of Bourdieuan studies by readers in and demonstrating the possible applicability of the said studies to the field of architecture. This paper provides, informed by relevant architectural studies, a brief recapitulation of the part of Bourdieu's intellectual legacy covered by the book, including his structuralist anthological investigations, class distinction studies and theory of cultural practice with habitus, capital and field as key conceptual tools. This might be instrumental in bringing into play Bourdieuan insights for both the specific case-oriented and general reflexive discourses in Chinese architectural studies.
