摘要
现代机器对于人文主义立场的建筑是不折不扣的挑战,不过对于机器的历史性理解也展示了新的机会。文章从作为物体与系统的实际机器和作为抽象与原则的隐喻机器两个视角展开机器与建筑之关系的探讨。在尊重对建筑机器的当下理解的同时,返溯了中西语境中的机器概念,并引入其他学科中有关机器的思考,来拓展对机器的文化与历史意义的理解,从而呈现机器、技术、人之间有意义的关联,以及这种关联的意义。
Modern machines have posed serious challenges to architecture as a discipline of humanism. However, a survey of the historical development of the notions of machine may reveal some unprecedented opportunities. This paper studies the idea of architecture as machine from a dual perspective: machines as physical objects or technological systems and the machine as abstractions or principles. Recognizing today’s perceptions of the machine, it traces the etymologies of “machine” in both the Chinese and European contexts. It also draws inspirations from other relevant disciplines. Therefore, the cultural and historical meanings of the machine are illustrated and appreciated: in architecture, the complex interactions between machines, technologies and man have changing and intriguing patterns.
