以结构为共识——建筑师与结构工程师的设计交融

Structure as Common Ground:On the Design Entanglement Between Architect and Engineer

在建筑的设计和建造中,技术一直扮演着重要的角色。无论是与建筑需求和可利用资源相关的概念化功能与建造形式,还是建造材料的制造和供应,抑或是最终的建造过程本身,都需要广泛的技术支持。随着技术对于环境的影响日益重要,工程师在整个设计与规划过程中的作用只会变得更加明确。本文探讨了建筑师与工程师之间的互动交流及两者的合作制度关系。首先,从历史的角度论述了设计的过程。随后,以瑞士为例,基于其核心合作制度讨论了建筑师与工程师之间的关系,强调了开展富有成效的跨学科合作的必要性。最后,展望了当结构在资源的可持续利用中起到重要作用时,未来设计师所能扮演的角色。建筑师和工程师可以多样的方式参与建筑的设计与建造,但在建筑设计的决策层面,两者始终不变的结合点正是结构设计。

Technology always played a key role in the design and construction of buildings. Conceptualizing functions and constructional forms related to the needs and available resources, the fabrication and supply of construction materials and, eventually, the construction itself needed a broad set of skills. With the increasing of importance of technology in our environment, the involvement of engineers in the planning process has only become more differentiated. This article discusses the entanglement between architects and engineers and their institutional relationship. First, a historical view will be taken into the design process. Subsequently, the connection is discussed based on the central institutions of cooperation based on Switzerland highlighting the necessity for encounters for productive interdisciplinary cooperation. The last part looks at future roles of designers when structures play an even greater role for a sustainable use of resources. Architects and engineers have various forms of involvement in building but their meeting in the most permanent in consequential layer of a building, the design of its structure.
