The Architecture of Patterns


2013.3.10 準備演講重讀一遍 (未完)

讀者沒看過此書的話是很難了解它在講什麼的. 所以這篇只是備忘錄  到網路上讀一下它吧!

這本書容易讓人誤解是專門講建築的書 (書名多義) . 雖然它舉了許多建築的例子
 不過也可以將它認為是談生物上的或幾何上的....

我們通常將C. 亞歷山大的The Pattern Language 翻譯成"模式語言"  (它的發展過程中patternism, or可說是 relationalism)
此書將pattern 翻譯成"圖案"  換句話說 它們字同殊義.

The Architecture of Patterns

Paul Andersen (Author), David Salomon (Author), David Carson (Artist)
With a Foreword by Sanford Kwinter
Overview | Inside the Book
 
Through a precise and expansive definition of what a pattern is, this book offers ways to understand and use patterns in contemporary design.
From the structure of the universe to the print on your grandmother's couch, patterns are found in a variety of concrete and conceptual phenomena. For architecture, something that so easily traffics between science and taste demands attention, which partially explains patterns' recent revival across diverse stylistic and intellectual camps. Yet, despite their ubiquity, their resurgence remains un-theorized and their capabilities underutilized. To date no account has been given for their recent proliferation, nor have their various formal and functional capacities been examined. In fact, the relationship between patterns and architecture hasn't been addressed in almost 30 years.

This book fills that gap by tracking the definitions and applications of patterns in a number of fields, and by suggesting how contemporary patterns might be used in design. Drawing on historical material and recent case studies, it gives shape to patterns' emerging potential. The Architecture of Patterns provides an updated definition of patterns that is at once precise and expansive-one that allows their sensory, ephemeral, and iterative traits to be taken as seriously as their functional, everlasting, and essential ones.

Endorsements & Reviews

“[T]he authors’ frequent repetition of the idea that architecture is — at its heart — the synthesis of many patterns of ‘spatial and temporal demands, integrating material and social behaviors and combining cultural trends [and] formal desires’ is profound.” — Ann Lok Lui, ArchNewsNow
“[B]oldly designed and visually punctuated by art director David Carson.” — Architects + Artisans
“[T]he graphic design (images, fonts, horizontal layout) works with the words to create spreads that highlight the smaller, intricate ideas within the larger pattern of the book’s complex theorizations.” — John Hill, Daily Dose of Architecture
“[F]ascinating read. You will immediately see, upon opening the book, just how patterns play a significant role within architectural design…. I think more books like this should emerge where authors take on new perspectives that help us to further explain to ourselves the merits of architectural 'properties' that have been not fully understood, or maximized for the particularities and challenges of our own evolving era.... I highly recommend this book.... [A] must-read.” — Sensing Architecture
“Wise words, well-served….Quirky, thinky and surprising, this soft-cover book is a piece of art unto itself, thanks to its smart observations and clever design. The authors find the patterns of the 21st century —in weavings, on manhole covers, on the bottom of sneakers — and argue them as an inspirational starting point for building design.” — The Denver Post
“The book offers captivating surprises as it unveils how patterns link seemingly disjointed categories, such as botany and graffiti or sensation and organization…redefines patterns, illuminating their transient and sensory traits that are often overlooked. It offers designers an abundance of ways to showcase the unique traits of patterns and incorporate them into smart and innovative designs.” — Zoe Namerow, Contract Magazine's "Talk Contract" blog

植物學和塗鴉藝術有何關聯?消費者行為與氣泡的結構有什麼關係?圖案將這些毫不相干的主題聯繫在了一起。從宇宙的構成到祖母睡椅上的印花,圖案無處不在。以前它們毫無關聯,但現在關係重大。現今最複雜的圖案都經過了仔細的計算,它們離奇另類、具有物質上的豐富性和行為上的回應性,具備一定的功用,能為感官帶來愉悅。這種多層面的觀點為以前的圖案定義帶來了極大的挑戰,並為建築能夠起重要作用的領域間的相互連接開闢了道路。

 《圖案之於建築》由保羅·安德森、大衛·所羅門所著,本書的獨特之處在於,探尋了圖案在很多領域的定義和應用,並展示了當今的圖案如何在設計中使用。本書利用歷史資料和最新的個案分析,清晰地表述了圖案現在所具有的潛力。作者簡介
