page156from Building IdeasSemantics or Syntactics? – The Meaning of Structures
There is a distant echo in Graves’ thinking
of some phenomenological themes and it is perhaps no surprise to find
Norberg-Schulz writing positively of Graves’ work.19 In an essay on figurative
architecture, published in 1985, he claimed that many ideas in postmodernism
were actually implicit within modernism. On the issue of materiality, however,
this comparison appears tenuous, as the understanding of Graves’ work is
predominantly visual and intellectual – a consequence of the structuralist
principle of the “immateriality” of the sign. Another way of interpreting a
possible continuity with modernism is to return to the syntactic analysis of
the language of architecture. It is perhaps here among the work of a group of
late-modernists that the future potential of linguistics might still become
apparent. In fact, one of the earliest manifestations of structuralist thinking
in architecture emerges within modernism in the work of Aldo van Eyck. The
Dutch architect, educated in England, has written widely on his work and was
part of the Team X group of post-war architects that were mentioned in Chapter
1. In the 1950s van Eyck and the Team X group were heavily critical of the
modernist city and its tendency to erase the past. Rather than preserving
ancient fabrics for the sake of sentiment or nostalgia, van Eyck attempted to
draw out the underlying principles of traditional forms. By identifying the
common characteristics in the architectures of the past he hoped to arrive at a
“synchronic” series of timeless formal principles:
Man
after all has been accommodating himself physically in this world for thousands
of years. His natural genius has neither increased nor decreased during that
time. It is obvious that the full scope of this enormous environmental
experience cannot be combined unless we telescope that past … . I dislike a
sentimental antiquarian attitude toward the past as much as I dislike a
sentimental technocratic one toward the future. Both are founded on a static,
clockwork notion of time (what antiquarians
