今日“壮游”——关于建筑学视野中“经验论”的个案研究

The Grand Tour Today:A Case Study on Empiricism from the Perspective of Architecture

长期以来,旅行都被视作建筑学知识体系中的必要组成,它对设计实践和历史研究具有重要的意义。文章基于知识构成的理论框架,从旅行的行为动机、再现媒介、研究方法三个方面,对作为专业者的建筑师群体持有的经验特性进行分析。它试图藉此指出建筑学实践与研究的经验论前提潜在的认识论风险与局限;这也将为理解该学科在当代学院制度中的境况并审视相应问题提供参照。

For a long time,travel has been regarded as a necessary part in the system of architectural knowledge,which holds some important significance for design practice and historical research.Based on the theoretical framework of“discursive formation”,this paper analyzes the multiple characteristics in travel experiences of architects as professionals from the perspectives of behavioral motivations,representational mediums,and research methodology.Then it attempts to reveal the potential epistemological risks and limitations of the“empirical”premises in architectural practice and research.This study also provides a reference for understanding the contemporary situation and some relevant problems of architecture as a discipline in college institution.
