荏苒之美

The Layers of Time

本文呈述的主要观点包括:时间决定了建筑形态的主要顺序,以及景观、街道、建筑、房间和各个细部的实际情况和口意义。对于一个经过设计并得以施工建造的场所来说,时间并不是一种或然属性,而是对场地的基本结构和意义至关重要的因素。时间在建筑的不同空间中不断流动和静止。本文在此对时间的三个维度——世界时间、项目时间和体验时间——进行了讨论。通过考虑建筑或景观的材料、空间顺序和位置,对建筑的过去、现在和未来之间的相互联系进行了探讨。所有这一切又包含两部分的含义我们的生活部被记录在我们所生活的空间中,而真正记录着一切的却是时间。

The basic thesis of this paper is that temporality gives access to the primary order of architectural topography and thus lo the reality and meaning of landscapes,streets,buildings,rooms,and their details.Time is not a contingent attribute of the places intended in design and realized through construction but a key to their essential structure and significance.Three dimensions ol temporality are discussed,the lime ol the world,of the protect,and of the experience,as it moves through and comes to rest in a work's several spatial situations.The interconnections between prior,present,and future appearances are discussed,in consideration of a building or landscape's materials,spatial order,and location.All ol this is set out in a two part argument:that the stones of our lives are recorded in the spaces ol our lives,and that this recording is essentially temporal.
