摘要
20世纪90年代后期以来,中国和西方呈现了不同的发展趋势。在西方,后批评的实用主义正在超越批评主义传统;而在实用主义当道的当代中国,批评主义却开始兴起。文章以雷姆·库哈斯、张永和、刘家琨、马清运等人为例,探讨在中国与欧美世界之间的双向交流空间。文章试图提出一种地理的跨文化研究方法,强调只有在外部的、共生的国际空间中,才能看清中国或西方某地区、某国家的种种现象。文章首先阅读彼德·埃森曼和雷姆·库哈斯的有关论说,观察西方对于建筑实践和亚洲地域的不同态度。文章随后阅读乔治·贝尔德、迈克尔·斯皮克斯、罗伯特·苏摩和莎拉·怀汀的相关论述,理清西方后批评实用主义的论点。文章随即指出这些论点中地理或“外部”视野的缺失。文章指出,如果像这些学者认为的库哈斯确实是后批评主义实践的代表的话,那么亚洲和中国就必须包括在研究范围之内。文章随后转向中国,论及在当代中国的历史背景下,具有批评意味的纯粹建筑的兴起,以及背后的来自西方的影响。文章最后讨论中西之间的中介空间及其中孕育的第三视野。
Since the late 1990s, different developments have occurred in China and the West.While there is an argument for post critical pragmatism beyond criticality in theWest, there is a rising criticality n contemporary China beside brutal pragmatism.This essay explores a space in between the two worlds in which a two-way communication can be found, as evidenced in the work of R. Koolhaas,Y.H. Chang, J. Liu and Q. Ma among others. It argues for a geographical and cross-cultural perspective in which a study of China or a country or region in the west, s incomplete until it is externalised in a global space of co-presence.The essay starts with a reading of R Eisenman and R. Koolhaas to discover different western perspectives on practice and Asia. It then moves on to G.Baird, M. Speaks, R. Somol and S.Whiting to explore the arguments for post-critical pragmatism, and argues that a geographic or °Eexternal°Φapproach is missing, and that Asia and China must be ncluded if Koolhaas can be regarded as leading the post-critical as suggested by these scholars.The essay then focuses on China, and dentifies the rise of purist architecture with a degree of criticality, in the historical condition of contemporary China, in which western influences play an important part. It concludes with an observation on the in between space where a third position is found,
