Abstract

: The present socioeconomic instability indicates a growing need for architects to productively incorporate elements of uncertainty into the architectural design process. In such a climate, this paper problematises the conventional practice of designing for future users while determining all elements of programme and form during the design process, and instead argues for designing for the participation of future users and stakeholders by leaving certain elements open to interpretation, completion or change once the building is inhabited. Such an approach to design echoes the theoretical and practical considerations of a number of architects during the 1950s and 60s, who, in the face of the modernist paradigm crisis, saw potential in the application of various forms and levels of indeterminacy to architectural concepts to generate a new course for modern architecture, one that was rooted in an understanding of architecture as a dynamic and evolutionary process as opposed to finished form. Drawing on these theories, this paper explores the potential for their re-evaluation in the uncertain context of the twenty-first century. The relevance of indeterminacy as a design strategy in architecture today is considered firstly through a review of a growing current in contemporary design discourse explicating the value of this concept, before exploring its contemporary manifestations in architectural practice through an overview of several notable projects. In doing so, this paper aims to establish a renewed understanding of indeterminacy as a value in contemporary architecture.
不确定性在建筑中的价值
当前社会经济的不稳定表明,建筑师越来越需要将不确定性元素有效地融入建筑设计过程中。在这样的环境下,本文提出了为未来用户设计的传统做法,同时在设计过程中确定所有的方案和形式元素,而是通过在建筑居住后留下某些元素的解释、完成或改变,为未来用户和利益相关者的参与进行设计。这种设计方法与20世纪50年代和60年代许多建筑师的理论和实践考虑相呼应,他们在面对现代主义范式危机时,看到了将各种形式和不确定性水平应用于建筑概念的潜力,从而为现代建筑创造了一种新的课程,这种课程植根于对建筑作为一个动态和进化过程的理解,而不是完成形式。在这些理论的基础上,本文探讨了在21世纪不确定的背景下对这些理论进行重新评估的可能性。不确定性作为当今建筑设计策略的相关性,首先通过对当代设计话语中不断增长的潮流的回顾来阐述这一概念的价值,然后通过对几个著名项目的概述来探索其在建筑实践中的当代表现。在此过程中,本文旨在建立对不确定性作为当代建筑价值的重新理解。
