From"Material"to"Information":The Study of Architectural History in the Process of Architectural Paradigm Transformation
Since the Industrial Age,the traditional architecture mainly focuses on material entities,the core values are reflected in function and space forms,and the working methods are mainly drawings and physical models.The traditional architecture,centered on the materialized architectural works,is facing a crisis.The crisis comes from the start of the digital information age,and the discipline paradigm will change:the focus will shift to the information,and data will become the most important resource and element.Building is no longer a fixed and complete material entity,but an open and flexible system or platform,where the spatial form and functions are constantly adjusted and changed according to the use needs.This tendency of"dematerialization"expresses the attention from the building itself to the attention to the architectural behavior and architectural events,and the refinement of internal logic,that is,from"Material"to"Information".From the perspective of architectural history research,facing the paradigm change,it will emphasize three exploration and change:(1)To put forward the"good"problem to obtain meaningful information;(2)To establish special original basic information data,and expand the field of data analysis and processing,to obtain a more accurate discipline perspective;(3)With the project as the cooperation mode,to realize the core value refining.
