“面壁”·“破壁”——关于《透明性》的延伸思考

Facing the Wall and Breaking the Wall Extended Reflections on Colin Rowe’s Transparency

深入探讨《透明性》一书直接或间接涉及的10个概念,以“面壁”和“破壁”来描述平面的视觉再现和三维的身体经验的辩证关系。通过艺术家面对空间深度问题的3种取向:“观看之眼”“理知之心”与“操作之手”,结合对勒·柯布西耶作品和观点的解析,指出《透明性》一书的局限。

This paper looks into ten concepts directly or indirectly related to Rowe’s Transparency,and delineates the dialectical relationship between visual representation and three-dimensional bodily experience using the concepts of“facing the wall”and“breaking the wall”.Arising on three orientations by artists in dealing with spatial depth,i.e.eye for observation,heart for reason,and hand for operation,it uses Le Corbusier’s works and design philosophy to specify the weaknesses of Transparency.
