Today’s mechanistic techno-culture
environment is out proportion with humankind. It is an alienated species of
reality and it has nothing to say in terms of creating human closeness. The
viewpoint that shapes the city culturally has been thoroughly ruined and that
is a problem! So too is the reason why modern architecture looks as if it has
been barbered down to the hairline! Why does the city create an impression of
nothing but abundance and quantity without leaving us any clear impression of
quality?
Perhaps
the cultural goals of a great synthesis are not just surplus ballast after all.
At least throwing them away has tended to make the development problems of
urban culture worse.
The
deep structure of traditional culture in the environment – in other words the
comprehensive task of architecture – has not been invented in vain, but is
natural, that is to say response to basic human needs.
Supplementation strategies
For some time now we have aware that
building design and environmental design have suffering from a deficiency
disease. We have been eagerly searching for, and indeed finding, ways of
combating the sterility of techno-culture or at least covering it up and
alleviating its alien features.
So
far, several programmes have been found to repair and adjust this development. The
thing shared by all of these is that they divert attention from the building to
the environment, to a wider objective reality, its programming. At present,
town planning is governed by the idea of the environment as some kind of
galactic pluralism. Urban space is made up of numerous fields nesting inside
each other and mutually interacting at the same time. The character of these
fields can be illustrated by the following list.
1 The flight into history
Fleeing to the realms of pre-industrial
urban culture. Arousing the idea of the new small town. Trying out old,
alleyway towns with labyrinthine buildings. The emphasis shifts from genuinely
searching for something new and of high quality, to putting everything into
restoration. The idea behind this is that by preserving at least a little bit
of the old, it is easier to accept even a lot of the rather unpleasant new.
2 Environmental art
Works of art as big as buildings used as
landmarks, as local identification marks, or as stimulating arrangements of
signals.
3 Major technical components of the
environment
Tunnels, bridges, flyovers, parking decks,
pedestrian decks seen and experienced primarily as substitutes for buildings in
urban space.
