内容简介
······

On Weathering illustrates the complex nature of the architectural project by taking into account its temporality, linking technical problems of maintenance and decay with a focused consideration of their philosophical and ethical implications.In a clear and direct account supplemented by many photographs commissioned for this book, Mostafavi and Leatherbarrow examine buildings and other projects from Alberti to Le Corbusier to show that the continual refinishing of the building by natural forces adds to, rather than detracts from, architectural meaning. Their central discovery, that weathering makes the "final" state of the construction necessarily indefinite, challenges the conventional notion of a building's completeness.By recognizing the inherent uncertainty and inevitability of weathering and by viewing the concept of weathering as a continuation of the building process rather than as a force antagonistic to it, the authors offer alternative readings of historical constructions and potential beginnings for new architectural projects.Mohsen Mostafavi is Associate Professor of Architecture and Director of the Master of Architecture I Program at the Graduate School of Design, Harvard University. David Leatherbarrow is Chairman of the Department of Architecture and of the Program in Urban Design at the Graduate School of Fine Arts, University of Pennsylvania.

读的惬意，notes也很给力

90年代的文风还很情怀的样子，一句是一句的。建筑表面的衰颓，质感的暴露，一定程度上构成了现代意义上的纪念性。斑驳粗糙构成时间感，时间感构成距离感，距离感构成崇高感，崇高感构成纪念性。因此20世纪初才会有Zyklopenstil。

建筑的真实状态并非一定是通常所认为的建造结束之时，而是在与气候（weather）互动的整个生命之中予以显现。你可以运用技术最大限度的减少、清除自然的痕迹，当然你也可以刻意的利用痕迹，使其成为建筑完整性的一部分。
《论气候的风化作用》则把材料放在时间的绵延中来考察，论述了人的使用以及气候的风化对于建筑的影响，以及这种通常被认为起破坏性作用的时间因素如何能够为建筑增色，它们对于材料表面的作用是如何使得…
