Abstract

Given its wide scope, architectural criticism as a discipline has had a long history of discussions and debates over its uses, contexts, methods, and even boundaries. Authors have alluded to its complex and virtually indefinable nature. The term architectural criticism itself is diverse in its usage, as it is used to describe the activities of critics, academic architectural treatises, and the architectural design decision-making process. Beyond its architectural origins, architectural criticism itself also approaches architecture from an interdisciplinary standpoint, often blending and adapting the methods and ideas of other disciplines to architecture. Despite its long history, not too many review papers approach the subject from a broad and general perspective. The majority of previous works have tended to focus on gaps or more specialized matters within the subject area. This thematic review therefore focuses on the amalgamation of existing literature on the nature of architectural criticism. A keyword search, followed by a filter using inclusion criteria from the Google Scholar Database, identified 52 articles. After a review of these articles, only 26 were found useful. This paper synthesizes and discusses the works of different authors in the areas of types and contexts of architectural criticism. The discussions will benefit future studies on the general nature or characteristics of architectural criticism and can be used as a guideline for highlighting and understanding the key issues in architectural criticism. Keywords: Architectural Criticism, Criticism Context, Criticism Types
架构批评:对类型和上下文的回顾
鉴于其广泛的范围,建筑批评作为一门学科,在其用途、背景、方法甚至边界方面有着悠久的讨论和争论历史。作者们已经暗示了它的复杂性和几乎不可名状的性质。术语“建筑批评”本身的用法是多种多样的,因为它被用来描述评论家的活动、学术建筑论文和建筑设计决策过程。除了建筑的起源,建筑批评本身也从跨学科的角度来看待建筑,经常将其他学科的方法和思想融合和适应到建筑中。尽管它的历史悠久,但没有太多的评论论文从广泛和一般的角度来看待这个主题。以前的大部分作品都倾向于关注主题领域内的差距或更专业的问题。因此,这篇专题评论的重点是对建筑批评本质的现有文献的融合。通过关键词搜索,再加上使用Google Scholar数据库中包含标准的过滤器,发现了52篇文章。在回顾了这些文章后,发现只有26篇是有用的。本文综合并讨论了不同作者在建筑批评类型和语境方面的作品。这些讨论将有助于未来对建筑批评的一般性质或特征的研究,并可作为突出和理解建筑批评中的关键问题的指南。关键词:建筑批评,批评语境,批评类型
