Architectural Language of"Spectacle Era"and Its Evaluation
The transformation of space production in the consumption era from material needs to differentiated and individualized needs has promoted the rise of spectacle culture and the arrival of the spectacle era.To discuss the relations among the spectacle culture,landscape society and consumerism,as well as the characteristics and causes of the spectacle era,the evolutional context of the main wonderful buildings since the 1960s was sorted out.It was found that consumerism had a decisive influence on the changes in the architectural language.In the absence of criticism,the architectural language could only passively adapt the changes in consumer cultures and gradually fall into the muddy of Spectacle Culture.By strengthening the polarized architectural language of formal autonomy,the prevailing new geometry could meet the needs for unrestricted manufacturing wonders,but it also deviated from the essence of architecture,which made architecture become a form game and a dependency of spectacle culture.It was pointed that to get rid of the predicament,the essence of architecture must return,and the architecture must be returned to the architectural logic and the spirit of places.
