现代人对现代建筑都不陌生,大概都有兴趣考察一番。今天推荐一份MIT建筑系的2018年的博士论文。看到在摘要中说到:实践、认识材料、工具和设备的重要性,作为整个教学实践的环节,而不仅仅关注于设计。这一点很中靶!
Despite advances in digital design and fabrication technologies, creative design practices still follow Alberti's separation of the design phase from the construction phase. This separation causes a reliance on digital fabrication machines that pushes human agency to the periphery of the making process. The interfaces of these technologies and their linear process of production create cognitive and perceptual obstacles, making it difficult for non-experts to create and improvise independently. Design and the ability to make are often thought to be intuitive, yet significant research has suggested that intuition is developed through skilled practice, interaction with materials, tools, and machines. Existing pedagogical approaches to design focus on outcomes and instructors' feedback to the students, neglecting the importance of the tools and the process itself.
