Abstract
Abstract Enric Miralles’ Ph.D. thesis was first presented in November 1987 at the Barcelona School of Architecture in two small volumes, the first one containing thirty-one pages of text and the second sixty-one illustrations. The thesis, entitled Cosas vistas a izquierda y derecha – sin gafas (“Things Seen to the Right and Left, Without Glasses”), focuses on the relationship between annotation and thought in the notebooks of Grand Tour travelers. Through it, Miralles sought a thought process that was inseparable from graphic expression; the text became more the construction of a personal reflection than a strictly academic discourse. This was why the dissertation was initially rejected. Two subsequent enlargements accounting for more than 200 pages, Miralles’ insistence and his evident erudition finally led to its acceptance. It proved to be the longest document that Miralles ever wrote, and an essential insight into his design method in subsequent years.
摘要Enric Miralles的博士论文于1987年11月在巴塞罗那建筑学院首次发表,分为两小卷,第一卷包含三十一页的文本,第二卷包含六十一幅插图。这篇题为“Cosas vistas a izquierda y derecha–sin gavas”的论文(《看向左右的东西,没有眼镜》),重点研究了Grand Tour旅行者笔记本中注释与思想之间的关系。通过它,米拉莱斯寻求一种与图形表达密不可分的思维过程;文本更多地成为一种个人反思的建构,而不是一种严格意义上的学术话语。这就是论文最初被拒绝的原因。随后的两次放大版长达200多页,Miralles的坚持和他明显的学识最终使其被接受。事实证明,这是米拉莱斯写过的最长的文件,也是他在随后几年的设计方法的重要见解。
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
