Abstract

Abstract This essay explores the worktables of architects, especially architecture students, as crucial sites of dramatic knowledge construction. More than an instrumental platform for drawing operations, the space and occasion of worktables provide an immersive, allusive, and speculative environment for rehearsing architectural performances, negotiating divergent desires, and conjuring meaningful worlds. As this essay argues through a demonstrative matrix of examples, the architect’s worktable serves as a miniature theater: a physically intimate place, which – when inhabited imaginatively – suggestively opens up as an expansive social space of dramatic transformation, mediation, and revelation. Moreover, the table surface and setting perform as in-situ archives, preserving – through traces of interaction and circumstantial evidence – a partial record of the very design practices they support.

栩栩如生的画面:建筑奋斗的桌子和舞台

摘要:本文探讨了建筑师，尤其是建筑系学生的工作台，作为戏剧知识建构的重要场所。工作台的空间和场合不仅仅是一个绘图操作的工具平台，还为排练建筑表演、协商不同的愿望和召唤有意义的世界提供了一个身临其境、暗示和投机的环境。正如这篇文章通过实例论证的那样，建筑师的工作台就像一个微型剧院:一个物理上亲密的地方，当人们充满想象力地居住时，它就像一个广阔的社会空间，充满戏剧性的转变、调解和启示。此外，桌子的表面和设置充当了现场档案，通过相互作用的痕迹和间接证据保存了它们所支持的设计实践的部分记录。

期刊介绍： Architecture and Culture, the international award winning, peer-reviewed journal of the Architectural Humanities Research Association, investigates the relationship between architecture and the culture that shapes and is shaped by it. Whether culture is understood extensively, as shared experience of everyday life, or in terms of the rules and habits of different disciplinary practices, Architecture and Culture asks how architecture participates in and engages with it – and how both culture and architecture might be reciprocally transformed. Architecture and Culture publishes exploratory research that is purposively imaginative, rigorously speculative, visually and verbally stimulating. From architects, artists and urban designers, film-makers, animators and poets, from historians of culture and architecture, from geographers, anthropologists and other social scientists, from thinkers and writers of all kinds, established and new, it solicits essays, critical reviews, interviews, fictional narratives in both images and words, art and building projects, and design hypotheses. Architecture and Culture aims to promote a conversation between all those who are curious about what architecture might be and what it can do.
