The Emerald City: And Other Essays on the Architectural Imagination pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
In The Emerald City, Dan Willis takes us on a flight of imagination that paradoxically never strays far from the most tangible, even intimate subjects. His essays range from the Tower of Babel to the Wizard of Oz, from Christo to Christmas trees, from the "lightness of being" to the "weight of architecture." This ultimately optimistic book suggests that architecture is as vital as ever: "It is tempting to say that our present cultural situation...has rendered architecture nearly impossible if not unnecessary. But it is also possible to look to what our lives, at the turn of the millennium, typically lack-fulfillment, spirituality, a sense of belonging, weight-and to conclude that the ground for architecture has never been more fertile. The texts-intelligent and readable-draw equally from literary sources, architectural practice, philosophical analyses, pop culture, and everyday experiences. Willis's perspective as a writer, architect, artist, and teacher informs his work; his texts are at once reflective and proactive, as they challenge readers to rethink their participation in the built environment. Accompanying the text are the author's original illustrations, which link the forms and forces surrounding architecture at the end of the twentieth century in novel, thought-provoking ways.
文章写的就真是条理清晰,中心思路明确。主旨大概是追求高效率,高利用率,以及完全可控的建造过程的设计大概是很难实现的,并且如果设计和建造者都朝这个方向发展的话,大概就只有楼房,没有诗意(或者原文的意义)一说了。虽然立意是建筑师实在各种限制内舞蹈的意思,但是文章的各种角度,和例子解释也都比较到位,读起来还挺有趣的。
