福柯理论下的纽约高线公园与地景艺术“麦田”

The High Line Park and the Landscape Art Wheatfield Under Foucault’s Theory

福柯理论描述了空间中视线的表达和权力的产生,他的理论框架提供了一种将建筑理论与建筑实践联系起来的方法,并解释了空间中的权力以及空间如何通过组织、人和经验发挥作用。福柯还将异托邦理论形容为一种不同的概念,因为它描述了一个与日常空间不一致的世界,可以作为一种反思和检查空间的方法。高线公园和地景艺术"麦田"都位于纽约曼哈顿,其设计原意都是出于反对霸权与殖民主义,但两者最终的社会效应却不相同:高线公园主要被白人使用者占据,而"麦田"却在世界范围内产生了不小的呼吁影响力,被视为反殖民主义的优秀艺术作品。本文意在通过福柯的理论来分析这两个作品,寻找其设计成功或失败的原因,并反思在这个过程中福柯的理论在建筑中的应用。

Foucault’s theory explains the expression of sight and the generation of power in space.Foucault’s framework provides a method to connect the architectural theory and the practice of construction and explains the power in space and how it works through organization,human,and experience.Foucault also theorizes Heterotopias as a diverse concept that describes a world misaligned with respect to normal or everyday space.The High Line and Agnes Denes’s Wheatfield are both situated in Manhattan,New York,and designed to oppose Hegemony and Colonialism.But their ultimate social effects are different:the High Line park is mainly occupied by the white,while the wheatfield generated considerable appeal worldwide and is regarded as an excellent work of art against colonialism.This paper aims to analyze these two projects through Foucault’s theory,find out the reasons for the success or failure of their design,and reflect on the application of Foucault’s theory in architecture in this process.
