建筑形象那些事

Discussion of Architectural Form

本文从建筑学学科特殊性出发,讨论了建筑的形式与内容问题。基于相关建筑理论文献的梳理,以及清末民初时期中国知识界提出的"中学为体,西学为用"等思想,结合近现代建筑创作的实际案例,将近代思想家梁启超"不中不西即中即西"的文化观点,引入建筑学领域及建筑学理论范畴。并建议用"形象与要素"概念替代现今通行的"内容与形式"概念。

This paper discusses the concept of "form and content"(xingshi yu neirong) from the particularity of the discipline of architecture. Based on literature review of architectural theories and the idea of "Chinese learning as substance, Western learning as application"(zhongxue weiti, xixue weiyong) put forward by late-Qing and earlyRepublican intellectuals, combined with case-studies of modern architecture, the paper introduces the cultural viewpoint of Liang Qichao, a modern thinker who had sought to find a harmonious middle ground("not China or the West, but China and the West";bu zhong bu xi ji zhong ji xi). The paper then suggests to replace the current concept of "form/shape and content" with the new concept of "form/image and element"(xingxiang yu yaosu).
