“Modern Architecture died in St Louis, Missouri on July 15, 1972 at 3.32 p.m. (or thereabouts) when the infamous Pruitt-lgoe scheme, or rather several of its slab 3 blocks, were given the final coup de grace by dynamite.”_Charles Jencks
“现代建筑于1972年7月15日下午3点32分(左右)死于密苏里州圣路易斯,当时臭名昭着的Pruitt-lgoe计划或其中一些板块3块被炸药给予最后的致命一击。”詹克斯
This project designed by Giacomo Pala is an attempt of developing an investigation about the possibility of having multiple objects contradicting each-other. Instead of a single Object Ontology, this design is a “Motley Ontologies” architecture sided against all of the architectural positivisms. It is an architecture that invokes an ironic, parodic and self-parodic conception of the discipline within the Avant-Garde agenda. This kind of architecture is able to ironically take advantage of the gap between Avant-Garde aspirations and reality, so as to incorporate the concept of multiplicities in the design strategies.
这个由Giacomo Pala设计的项目试图开展关于多个对象相互矛盾的可能性的调查。这个设计不是单一的对象本体,而是一个支持所有建筑实证主义的“Motley Ontologies”体系结构。这是一个在前卫议程内引发讽刺,讽刺和自我戏仿的学科概念的体系结构。这种架构能够讽刺地利用先锋派渴望与现实之间的差距,以便在设计策略中融入多重性概念。
This architectural, theoretical and critical investigation takes place in the Pruitt-Igoe. The project’s gound is not the (in)famous district of Saint-Louis, Missouri. It is a theoretical ground. The real context is Jencks’s sentence about this place. In my project, Pruitt-Igoe is once again the set where modernisms’ drama takes place. A drama about the simultaneous and incongruent layering of two ontologies which produces the possibility of a different architectural condition.
这一建筑,理论和关键调查发生在Pruitt-Igoe。该项目的土地不是密苏里州圣路易斯(着名)地区。这是一个理论基础。真正的背景是詹克斯对这个地方的判断。在我的项目中,Pruitt-Igoe再次成为现代主义戏剧发生的场景。关于两种本体的同时和不一致分层的戏剧,其产生了不同建筑条件的可能性。
