Studies On Architecture Noumenon And Its Humane Value

Today the architecture in china is pedantic gamesmanship in scholarship and emphasize too much on the form of building in design. Face this phenomeon, the paper sets out from the essence, considers the basic problem in architecture creation from the architectural structure, technique, material, space, building and environment, tradition and creation, etc. The paper studies on architecture noumenon and its humane value, analyzes the design principle and method of expressing humane value with architecture noumenon, point out that this kind of design principle and method emphasize the tangible materility of architecture's tectonic and craft, and at the same time make a point of the expression of architecture's essense, it not only create the spiritual beauty that forms the building with abundant tectonic and wrought detail, but also create the architect's place sprit through facing tradition and context with accommodative language of modern architecture.The paper take three architects from different place in the world--David Chipperfield( London, England), Waro Kishi(Kyoto, Japan), and Tod Williams & the Billie Tsien( New York,the United States)--as examples, analyzing their appreciation of technical crafts and emphasison the expression of tectonic and detail, and analyzing their design method of transmitting architecture's cultural value through the emphathetic sensitivity to form and its material expression. The paper introduced their architectural investigation and practice on the aspects of architectural tectonic, relation between tradition and creativity, the molding of place and construction of architectural space etc. Such as David Chipperfield's value of architecture's initial meaning and physicality, his emphasize on the architectural experience quality and ethics duty of the architect, and his view on the continuation of tradition and creativity; Waro Kishi's value of tectonic noumenon, his concept of" industrial vernacular ", his application of the " architectural promenade" principle, and application of courtyard; Tod Williams & Billie Tsien's principle of " architecture is combination of work and life" , their value of place, their observation of material characteristic, and their "slow"principle on design, method, and sense perception.The paper also introduces the threearchitect's representative works and their design method. At last, the paper appraise and analyse this principle and method on three aspect-the molding of the place, the value of the time, and the re-explanation of the meaning of beauty. And point out that the design principle and method of expressing humane value with architecture noumenon is heuristic for Chinese architects to grasp the development pulse of today's architecture with full confidence and get away from the passivity on the ideas; Chinese architect can draw lessons from it in the explorations and practice of architecture noumenon, tectonic language, tradition and creativity.
