外围护 材料和环境本体论

Envelopes A Material and Environmental Ontology

文章建立在这样一个假设前提下:尽管现代主义以来关于立面的建筑学危机在不断扩大,但是围护体本身仍是建筑的关键组成部分;然而,外围护体的性能是在表层和物质层面体现出对经济、技术和环境应对的问题的解决,而不是仅仅关联于表面化、装饰性再现过程的二元体系。20世纪建筑技术的飞速发展,以及现代建造业的急剧扩张,已经将"立面"的构成和装饰机能替换为"建筑围护体"的物质的、量化的和技术性的表现。外围护体在美学和情感上的表现需要被重新整合到与其关联的经济、技术、文化和政治生态中,进而重构当代建筑表皮学科。当代建筑的复杂性已经无法由建构以及现象学分析来描述:急剧增加的生态与环境问题的迫切性以及关联性、所谓的后人文感知的涌现,需要我们从根本上重构建筑技术理论,而建筑外围护则刚好是承载这一探索的最佳领域。微观细节剖面分析将成为主要的探索工具,使立面这一建筑学本体的重要元素,超越其在历史建构中的意义。

The hypothesis of this paper is that despite the extended crisis of the facade since modernism,the building envelope remains a crucial element of architecture(in fact,perhaps the most crucial element),but its performance occurs through the literal and material embodiments of economic,technological,and environmental contingencies rather than through the dialectics of superficial,ornamental representation.The exponential development of building technologies across the 20 th century,coupled with the scale increase of modern construction,has diminished the compositional and ornamental capacities of the "facade" in favour of the material,quantitative,and technical performances of the "building envelope." The aesthetic and affective performance of the envelope must become re-integrated with its associated economic,technological,cultural,and political ecologies in order to reconstruct a proper contemporary discipline of the building envelope.The casuistry of contemporary buildings can no longer be contained within the realm of tectonics or entirely described within a phenomenological analysis:the increasing relevance and urgency of ecological and environmental concerns and the rise of what we could describe as post-human sensibilities require a complete reframing of the theories of building technology,and the building envelope emerges as the best field to explore this reconstruction.A micro-sectional, detailed analysis is to become the primary vehicle to transcend the historical constitution of the facade as a crucial element of the discipline of architecture.
