“原型”的思考

建筑理论中存在几种对“原型”概念不同的解释,它们虽都深受容格的“原型”与“集体无意识”理论影响,但其具体意义有所不同。在建筑结构主义中,“原型”是一种对“深层结构”的探索;建筑类型学中的“原型”则是一种具有普遍意义的能显示类型特征的形态;而传统地区建筑在长期演化中所产生的典型形态也可以被理解为一种“原型”。文章通过对“原型”不同概念的比较分析来探讨原型理论对当代建筑创作的意义,引发我们对建筑地区性的思考。

Consideration on Archetype

There are several explanations to the conception of archetype in architecture theory. They are all profoundly influenced by the archetype and collectivity unconsciousness theories of Carl G. Jung, but their meanings are different. Archetype means deep-seated structure in structuralism, while in architecture typology it means type characteristic. Archetype can also be comprehended as a kind of representative conformation result from the evolvement of traditional regional architecture. This paper compared several understandings of archetype, trying to discuss its theory significance in architecture design and inspire thinking of the regionality in architecture.
