商品描述
Visionary proposals for a mythic and strange architecture--or anarchitecture--through which we can imagine other and better worlds. Lurking under the surface of our modern world lies an unseen architecture--or anarchitecture. It is a possible architecture, an analogous architecture, an architecture of anarchy, which haunts in the form of monsters that are humans and machines and cities all at once; or takes the form of explosions, veils, queer, playful spaces, or visions from artwork and video games. In The Monster Leviathan, Aaron Betsky traces anarchitecture through texts, design, and art of the twentieth and early twenty-first century, and suggests that these ephemeral evocations are concrete proposals in and of themselves. Neither working models nor suggestions for new forms, they are scenes just believable enough to convince us they exist, or just fantastical enough to open our eyes. The Monster Leviathan gives students and lovers of architecture, as well as those hoping to construct a better, more sustainable, and socially just future, a set of tools through which they can imagine that such other worlds are possible. As Betsky eloquently articulates, anarchitecture already exists and does not exist at all. It is the myth of building, and all we have to do is find it.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
這是一本關於神秘和奇異建築的願景提案,或者稱為「無政府建築」,透過它我們可以想像其他更美好的世界。
在我們現代世界的表面下潛藏著一種看不見的建築,或者稱為「無政府建築」。它是一種可能的建築,一種類比的建築,一種無政府狀態下的建築,以人類、機器和城市的形式同時存在;或者以爆炸、面紗、奇異、有趣的空間,或者來自藝術作品和電子遊戲的幻象的形式存在。在《怪物利維坦》中,亞倫·貝茨基(Aaron Betsky)通過二十世紀和二十一世紀初的文本、設計和藝術,追溯了無政府建築的脈絡,並提出這些短暫的呼喚本身就是具體的提案。它們既不是實際的工作模型,也不是對新形式的建議,它們只是足夠真實以使我們相信它們的存在,或者足夠奇幻以打開我們的眼界。
《怪物利維坦》為建築學的學生和愛好者,以及那些希望建造一個更美好、更可持續和社會公正的未來的人,提供了一套工具,通過這些工具他們可以想像到這樣的其他世界是可能的。正如貝茨基所言,無政府建築已經存在,卻又根本不存在。它是建築的神話,我們所要做的就是找到它。
