Kenneth Frampton's long-awaited follow-up to his classic A Critical History of Modern Architecture is certain to influence any future debate on the evolution of modern architecture.Studies in Tectonic Culture is nothing less than a rethinking of the entire modern architectural tradition. The notion of tectonics as employed by Frampton — the focus on architecture as a constructional craft — constitutes a direct challenge to current mainstream thinking on the artistic limits of postmodernism, and suggests a convincing alternative. Indeed, Frampton argues, modern architecture is invariably as much about structure and construction as it is about space and abstract form.Composed of ten essays and an epilogue that trace the history of contemporary form as an evolving poetic of structure and construction, the book's analytical framework rests on Frampton's close readings of key French and German, and English sources from the eighteenth century to the present. He clarifies the various turns that structural engineering and tectonic imagination have taken in the work of such architects as Perret, Wright, Kahn, Scarpa, and Mies, and shows how both constructional form and material character were integral to an evolving architectural expression of their work. Frampton also demonstrates that the way in which these elements are articulated from one work to the next provides a basis upon which to evaluate the works as a whole. This is especially evident in his consideration of the work of Perret, Mies, and Kahn and the continuities in their thought and attitudes that linked them to the past.Frampton considers the conscious cultivation of the tectonic tradition in architecture as an essential element in the future development of architectural form, casting a critical new light on the entire issue of modernity and on the place of much work that has passed as "avant-garde."A copublication of the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies and The MIT Press.

评论 ······

一边读中文版一边读英文版一边写读后感啊哭。扫一眼中文就知道大概讲的什么了，但是英文版真的要一个词一个词地弄懂了还未必读得懂啊= = 英语为什么这么烂啊= = 浮躁得根本静不下心来读书啊= =

建构的内容其实太深了，只是门槛太高有人写没人看而已，所以F式也说这只是一部“brief survey”。在这本书中建构的确感觉有点像个“大筐”，靠着建筑师列传的框架，结构工程设计、材料与建造、机电暖通结合、节点、文化哲学都能往里装。结构理性主义仿佛像是本书的主旋律，话锋却又不时转向地域主义。后记对当代建筑师的角色权限与工业现状判断得很是精辟，同时也印证了在当下建造业分工、分层的逻辑下，本书所倡导的…

建筑学何去何从，这是个问题

对我这代建筑学生的教育以及中国独立建筑实践和建筑评论的话语架构和价值判断影响深远的一本书。
