當代構造研究，應說是探討有關「構築思維」(tectonic thinking)的嘗試，這不只是構造方式、細部收頭而已，這意思是說不只是有關材料與尺寸的範疇 構造 = 材料 + 尺寸 施工圖上主要標示的就是這兩件事 「構築思維」還包括對空間與形式的思考。 空間(space)要與時間一起談的，就是time-space，是基迪恩(Gidieon)用以定義現代建築的概念，他認為現代世界的空間是必須結合時間； 形式(form)則是與設計(design)結合一起談的，這是路易斯康(Louis Kahn)所主張的區分，所以建築的形式是指導設計的基本圖式(schema)，他說湯匙的形式是勺與柄兩部分構成，至於勺是圓的或橢圓的、用銀製或瓷器、柄是方的、扁的、用木製或銅製等等就是設計的範疇。 我在這堂課所要探討的就是這幾個範疇加在一起的構築思維，它與時間-空間，設計-形式有關， 所以，tectonic idea = (material + size) x 【 (time-space) vs. (design-form) 】 我認為這就是建築的核心價值，是建築專業最根本的精神所寄，或者說，這就是建築的藝術性-精神性-靈魂-文學經驗，這裡就存在著建築做為一項專業的自主性所在，這與「空間專業不應是價值中立」的主張是屬於不同層次的，前者是屬於藝術性層次的，後者是屬於社會性層次，我想這兩者構成建築的倫理性價值。 建築的倫理性 = 建築的藝術性意義 + 建築的社會性意義
This course is focused on the tectonic studying and thinking the construction and detail design of Masters' works of Modern architecture. The discussion in this class would thus go beyond the technical consideration about material and size.
'Tectonic thinking' covers ideas on time and space, such as contended by Sigfried Gidieon. Or we may say it is concerned with the idea of time and space. Luis Kahn makes distinction between form and design with the example of spoon. For him the 'form' of spoon is constituted by scoop and handle, whereas the 'design' of spoon may vary in material such as silver, porcelain or steel and in shape such as round or shallow.
In short, in this class we would study together the tectonic idea embedded in the master architects' works, which may be formulated as what follows: tectonic idea= (material + size) X[(time-space) vs. (design-form)]
And I would propose that the tectonic idea is where the architectural core-value lies. Here comes the artistic and spiritual experience through the precise arrangement of the tangible materials. This quality results in the autonomy of the profession, sometime even transcends the social or moral concern. Architectural Ethics = Artistic Signification + Societal Signification.Contemporary structural research should be said to be an experiment on "tectonic thinking". This is not just a structure method and a detailed closure. This means it is not just a pattern of material and dimensions. Structure = material + dimensions. The main marks on the construction diagram are these two things. "structural thinking" also includes thinking about space and form. The space needs to be discussed with time, which is time-space, which is used by Gidieon to define the concept of modern architecture. He believes that space in the modern world must be combined with time; form is discussed with design, which is Louis. Kahn) led the division, so the form of the building refers to the basic schema of the design. He said that the form of the spoon is composed of two parts: the spoon and the handle. As for the spoon being round or round, made of silver or porcelain, the handle is square, flat, made of wood or copper, etc., it is the design scope. What I want to explore in this class is the structural thinking of these several patterns added together. It is related to time-space, design-form, so, tectonic idea = (material + size) x [ (time-space) vs. (design-form) ] I think this is the core value of the building, which is the most fundamental spirit of the architecture profession, or in other words, this is the artistic-spirit-spirit-literary experience of the building. Here there is the autonomy of the building as a professional. This is the initiative of "space profession should not be value-neutral" at different levels. The former belongs to the artistic level, and the latter belongs to the social level. I think these two form the ethical value of the building. The ethics of a building = the artistic meaning of a building + the social meaning of a building
