In The Possibility of an Absolute Architecture, Pier Vittorio Aureli proposes that a sharpened formal consciousness in architecture is a precondition for political, cultural, and social engagement with the city. Aureli uses the term absolute not in the conventional sense of "pure," but to denote something that is resolutely itself after being separated from its other. In the pursuit of the possibility of an absolute architecture, the other is the space of the city, its extensive organization, and its government. Politics is agonism through separation and confrontation; the very condition of architectural form is to separate and be separated. Through its act of separation and being separated, architecture reveals at once the essence of the city and the essence of itself as political form: the city as the composition of (separate) parts. Aureli revisits the work of four architects whose projects were advanced through the making of architectural form but whose concern was the city at large: Andrea Palladio, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Étienne Louis-Boullée, and Oswald Mathias Ungers. The work of these architects, Aureli argues, addressed the transformations of the modern city and its urban implications through the elaboration of specific and strategic architectural forms. Their projects for the city do not take the form of an overall plan but are expressed as an "archipelago" of site-specific interventions.
Architectural form reconsidered in light of a unitary conception of architecture and the city.

理論很有趣,但總覺得案例有些過度解讀的傾嚮…… 或許absolute architecture想解決的問題最終仍是know yourself……將一個時代的theme of politics 提取和抽象,還原為formal,重新找迴因自身的infinity和ubiquity而不再具有形式的城市建築的individuality……說不太明白,但大概要求confrontation的最終目的仍是coexistence,清楚意識到彼此作為individual的存在,證明他者而自我證明。

評分小小的一本書,內容沉甸甸。一遍走過,至少兩遍
評分讀的相當纍瞭 但是把建築看作城市的歸宿其實很有意思 建築學科發展齣城市規劃再縮到城市設計最後迴到建築
