Abstract

Abstract In the age of “control societies” there is a need to re-situate understandings of the face in architecture. Historical readings of the face in architecture remain rooted in an anthropomorphism that fails to consider current forms of “simulated surveillance” and the emerging non-human visualities that ensue from such a surveillance apparatus. The article considers the change from disciplinary surveillance, as observed in the Larkin Building, to today’s simulated surveillance. Referring to readings of the face by Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari, and Mark Cousins, the article traces alternative readings of facial codification. Toward this end, the “Eyes of the City” exhibition (2020) and the media installation, the diplorasis, are used to consider affective readings of the face that enable yet-to-be determined relations between human and non-human visualities. The aim of this article is to speculate on reversing the one-way visual control of space and the ensuing overdetermined architectural programming of the human.

拆除面孔：“控制社会”时代的外观与建筑空间

在“控制社会”的时代，有必要重新定位对建筑面孔的理解。历史上对建筑面孔的解读仍然植根于拟人论，没有考虑到当前形式的“模拟监视”，以及从这种监视设备中产生的非人类视觉。本文考虑了从在拉金大楼观察到的纪律监视到今天的模拟监视的变化。参考Gilles Deleuze, f lix Guattari和Mark Cousins对面部的解读，文章追踪了面部编码的其他解读。为此，“城市之眼”展览(2020年)和媒体装置“diplorasis”被用来考虑对面部的情感解读，从而实现人类与非人类视觉之间尚未确定的关系。本文的目的是推测如何扭转对空间的单向视觉控制以及随之而来的人类过度确定的建筑规划。

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.
