建筑历史前沿｜地缘政治的建筑思考
中国，南京，东南大学，建筑学院，
2019年11月- 12月，中大院，209教室
主讲人：朱剑飞，英国纽卡斯尔大学建筑学院教授
建筑理论和认识论在很大程度上是形式主义、文化主义和历史主义的。即使是更具批判性的构架——如批判地域主义或后批判思想——在社会关怀层面上依旧宽泛而遥远。今天，理论家和设计师们继续进行着跨国合作，其所依赖的政治经济基础，特别是其中的道德、意识形态和地缘政治状态，非常令人担忧，其问题日益凸显。然而东西方建筑师在追求某种醉人的建筑诗意中继续无视这些问题。这种有限视角使我们的学科与社会愈加脱节，使设计成为对现实的粉饰。为了重新找回建筑学的价值意义，我们必须面对真相和现实，以及不同尺度的充满地缘政治紧张关系的空间中的道德/意识形态的对立冲突，和它们所涉及的各种需要我们对其历史发展进行分析和批判研究的话题和事件。建筑是如何介入不同尺度的充满观念和对抗的空间实践甚至与之共犯的？我们有什么方法和理论来分析这些？我们需要什么新观念和新构想？我们是否需要一个新框架——以地缘政治及其维度和动态为基础——来研究建筑学及其历史？本课程试图回应这些问题，并探讨一个以地理为基本条件的可能的理论框架。我们从三个课题入手：a) 微观空间政治；b) 战争与建筑的地理学；c) 艺术、文化与政治的复杂联系。

Towards a Geopolitical Criticism of Architecture
Frontiers of Architectural History (2019-20), Part One, November–December 2019
School of Architecture, Southeast University, Nanjing, China
By Jianfei Zhu, Professor, School of Architecture Planning & Landscape, Newcastle University, UK
Architectural theory and epistemology have been largely formalist, culturalist and historicist. Even the more critical formulations – from Critical Regionalism to Post-Critical thinking – remain generic and distant in their social concern. Today, theorists and designers continue to enjoy transnational collaborations backed up by a political economy whose moral, ideological and geopolitical underpinnings remain very concerning and increasingly problematic. Yet architects east and west continue to look away, in their pursuit of some intoxicating architectural poetics. Such an introvert perspective leads only to further irrelevance of the discipline and a status of design as ornament. To regain our relevance, we must confront the real and the present, and a moral-ideological war unfolding on a space of geopolitical tensions at many scales, and the various themes and issues involved whose historical developments require analytical and critical examinations. How is architecture entangled if not complicit with a space of ideas and tensions at various scales? What methods and theories are available for us to analyse these? What are the new ideas and notions needed? Do we need a new framework – one based on geopolitics and its dimensions and dynamics – for examining architecture today? This lecture programme aims to respond to these questions and explore a possible framework as geographically conditioned. We aim to start with three investigations: a) micro spatial politics, b) a geography of war and architecture, and c) the entanglement between art, culture and politics.
