Space As Discursive Form

 

 

空间。论述性。形式。这三个词汇表达了我们对空间设计学科的基本信念：即当其以最高的学科形式呈现时，即超越单纯的审美与功能性考量，而到达“论述”的高度。而“论述性”在本质上，并非单纯陈述行为，而是指向一种根植于明确的思想意图与方法论严谨性的立场建构，并以具有批判性的方法，在多学科思想交融的前提下，推动设计学科对社会、文化、哲学及自然环境等更广泛议题展开思辨。正是基于这一信念，我们以“空间的论述形态（Space as Discursive Form)”为课程的概念框架将，将空间设计同时理解为一种“论述的形态”与“形态的论述”。

 

Space. Discursivity. Form. These three words express our fundamental conviction in the design disciplines, which, when pursued in their highest disciplinary forms, are capable of transcending the domains of mere aesthetics and instrumental functionality to reach the height of discourse: a disciplinary modality that, ipso facto, cannot be reduced to the act of statement-making alone; rather, it denotes the formulation of positions grounded in explicit intellectual intention and methodological rigor, critically engaging with a multidimensional field of social, cultural, philosophical, and environmental concerns. It is this theoretical commitment that underpins the designation of our research teaching studios as “Space as Discursive Form”, reflecting a conceptual framework wherein spatial design practices are simultaneously conceived both as a “form of discourse” and as “discourse in form”.
