Abstract

Every era has had its own iconic architectural typology. The dream commission was once the church. Modernism had the factory and then the house. The most significant architectural spaces in the world looks now less related with people. Be they datacenters or natural reserves, vertical farms or sustainable infrastructures, third landscapes or biospheres, they all feature a protagonist that is not only human, either in terms of fruition or agency. And this explains why qualitative researches about their inhabitability are still partially lacking. For this reason, the lecture discusses archetypal models of posthuman design. To show how architectural, landscape, and industrial designers, be they professional practitioner or not, redefined their tools and strategies in order to meet the needs of new and different kinds of subjects. Or better, to highlight how they turned this redefinition into a source of poetic expression and created a novel understanding of conventional categories through their work.

建筑作为人类的物质文明产物，镌刻着时代烙印。从一度代表人类最高建筑技艺的教堂到现代主义催生的工厂再到后现代主义塑造的摩天高楼，建筑空间的发展焦点似乎更加开放，不再仅仅是关注人的需求。诸如数字产业中心，自然保护区，垂直农场抑或是贯彻可持续理念的绿色建筑，还有最新提出的第三景观和生物圈的概念，都不单单考虑人的感受。这恰恰也解释了目前对宜居性的定性研究仍较为缺乏的原因。基于此，本次讲座旨在探讨后人类设计的发展方向。从建筑师、景观设计师还有工业设计师的角度出发，探讨重新定义这些学科手段策略的可能性，以满足如雨后春笋般涌现出的新需求。更深层次地，通过案例介绍来阐述如何将这些对学科的重新定义转变为诗意化的表达，以展现对建筑传统范畴的新理解。
