Who does not long for that histrionic branch of the profession that leapt like clowns--pathetic yet courageous--off one cliff after another, hoping to fly, flapping with inadequate wings, but enjoying at least the free-fall of pure speculation?
Maybe such nostalgia is not merely a longing for the former authority of this profession (no one can seriously believe that architecture has become less authoritarian) but simply for fantasy. (查看原文)
...a system of fragments.
Nothingness here would be a modified Caspar David Friedrich landscape--a Teutonic forest intersected by Arizona highways; in fact, a Switzerland. (查看原文)

the architect, knowing almost nothing about the situation into which he is dropped, has to convince those who know everything, who have wrestled sometimes for years with the same issues--the most ignorant must persuade the most skeptical.

the architect, knowing almost nothing about the situation into which he is dropped, has to convince those who know everything, who have wrestled sometimes for years with the same issues--the most ignorant must persuade the most skeptical. It requires suspension of disbelief from which, sometimes, neither side recovers.引自第1162页The developer-driven architecture of the seventies and eighties had led to total resistance to anything complex, to a pulling apart of all the components that together form cities--a dismantlement infinitely more drastic than the one imagined in unfortunate parallel by the architectural avant-garde; here, montage of program and superimposition of building could restore both density and continuity--the return of complexity as a sign of the urban.引自第1174页
Singapore is clearly not free, but at the same time it is difficult to identify what precisely is unfree, how and where the exact repression occurs, to what extent its magnetic field--the unusual cohesion of its inhabitants--is imposed or, more ambiguously, the result of a ''deal'', a perceived common interest: liberties suspended in return for the unlimited benefits of a roller-coaster of deve...

Singapore is clearly not free, but at the same time it is difficult to identify what precisely is unfree, how and where the exact repression occurs, to what extent its magnetic field--the unusual cohesion of its inhabitants--is imposed or, more ambiguously, the result of a ''deal'', a perceived common interest: liberties suspended in return for the unlimited benefits of a roller-coaster of development that, in 30 years, has only gone up.引自第1015页The next round of East-West tension will be fought over this question: whether democracy promotes or erodes social stability; whether free speech is worth the cultural trash it also produces; whether the health of a collective matters more than the unfettered freedom of the individual. To the west this authoritarianism seems a temporary aberration, a deviation from the norm; but it is more likely that a new norm is being synthesized in Singapore: a hard-core Confucian shamelessness, a kind of ultimate power of efficiency that will fuel Asian modernization. ''The American view that out of contention, out of the clash of ideas and ideals, you get good government and a healthy economy...that view is not shared in Asia.'' Singapore has developed its own way. ''The tenacious vitality of Confucianism lies in its combination of the dross of feudalism and the cream of democracy.''引自第1017页To the extent that pragmatism has a look it is utilitarian, Anglo-Saxon: the slabs are purely quantitative emblems--modernity stripped of ideology, like the notorious English council estates. If the transition from the English slum to the estate was traumatic, the leap from the Chinese shophouse--typology that packs store, factory, family living quarters together in a single block around a courtyard--to Singapore's high-rise containers is even more merciless, not only in terms of material difference--from the Asian to the Western--but because the new inhabitants, cut off from connective networks of family relationships, tradition, habits, are abruptly forced into another civilization: the slab as time machine.引自第1021页Maki: Our urban society is characterized by: 1) coexistence and conflict of amazingly heterogeneous institutions and individuals; 2) unprecendented rapid and extensive transformation in the physical structure of the society; 3) rapid communications methods; and 4) technological progress and its impact upon regional cultures.
compositional form, megastructure, group form引自第1045页Maki's work is unapologetically concerned with "shopping"--in the Asian context not a simple consumerist frenzy but an authentic essence of urban life, its equipment Asia's equivalent of the agora.引自第1051页In these projects, Singapore's center is theorized as a prototype of the modern Asian metropolis: the city as a system of interconnected urban chambers. The climate, which traditionally limits street life, makes the interior the privileged domain for the urban encounter. Shopping in this idealized context is not just the status-given compulsion it has become ''here'' but an amalgam of sometimes microscopic, infinitely varied functional constellations in which each stall is a ''functoid'' of the overall programmatic mosaic that constitutes urban life.引自第1073页
The permanence of even the most frivolous item of architecture and instability of the metropolis are incompatible.

The permanence of even the most frivolous item of architecture and instability of the metropolis are incompatible.
In this conflict the metropolis is, by definition, the victor; in its pervasive reality architecture is reduced to the status of a plaything, tolerated as decor for the illusions of history and memory. In Manhattan this paradox is resolved in a brilliant way: through the development of a mutant architecture that combines the aura of monumentality with the performance of instability. Its interiors accommodate compositions of program and activity that change constantly and independently of each other without affecting what is called, with accidental profundity, the envelope.引自第937页
The structural disproportion between the energy invested and the pleasure (and money) derived from architecture left a malaise beyond a normal period of mourning: the architect is prisoner of an infernal equation in which passion undermines best interests. Local regimes need special projects to demonstrate their ''modernity'' but are finally unwilling to assume their radicalism, conceiving then...

The structural disproportion between the energy invested and the pleasure (and money) derived from architecture left a malaise beyond a normal period of mourning: the architect is prisoner of an infernal equation in which passion undermines best interests.
Local regimes need special projects to demonstrate their ''modernity'' but are finally unwilling to assume their radicalism, conceiving then aborting successive ''could have beens'' to prove first their adventurousness, then their sobriety.
The problem with Bigness is that it delivers more at a time, but also takes more time to deliver. In the absence of an implacable urgency-real or invented-the rush of modernization outruns its own potential implementations, another mother eating her children.引自第763页
Typical Plan is gridded, not in the absolute, clumsy manner of European Plantonic (a moralistic system to measure misfit and thus create unhappiness), but on the the contrary, through the development of anti-ideological devices: a metaphysics of slack that gives an aura of crispness to even the most severely conflicted geometrical coexistences, bestowing the appearance of modular conquest on th...

Typical Plan is gridded, not in the absolute, clumsy manner of European Plantonic (a moralistic system to measure misfit and thus create unhappiness), but on the the contrary, through the development of anti-ideological devices: a metaphysics of slack that gives an aura of crispness to even the most severely conflicted geometrical coexistences, bestowing the appearance of modular conquest on the essentially messy, reasserting orthogonality from the most compromised givens.
As in the scene of a crime, the removal of all obvious signs of the perpetrator characterizes the true typical plan; it authors form an avant-garde of architcts as erasers. Its unsung designers -- Bunshaft, Harrison and Abramovitz, Emery Roth -- represent vanishing acts so successful that they are now completely forgotten.

As in the scene of a crime, the removal of all obvious signs of the perpetrator characterizes the true typical plan; it authors form an avant-garde of architcts as erasers. Its unsung designers -- Bunshaft, Harrison and Abramovitz, Emery Roth -- represent vanishing acts so successful that they are now completely forgotten. These architects were able to create aleatory playgrounds (interior Elysian fields accessible in anyone's lifetime). i.e., perfection in quantites--trillions of acres -- that have become, 25 years later, literally unimaginable.
Securely entrenched in the domain of philistinism（n.庸俗，没有文化修养）, Typical Plan actually has hidden affinites with other artsL the positioning of its cores on the floor has a suprematist（至上主义） tension; it is the equivalent of atonal music, seriality, concrete poetry, art brut（原生艺术）; it is architecture as mantra.
