回到未来:吉迪恩诺顿讲座幻灯片的部分重建与分析

Back to the Future: Partial Reconstruction and an Analysis of the Lantern Slides from Sigfried Giedion’s Norton Lectures

  • 摘要: 《空间、时间与建筑》一书源自西格弗里德·吉迪恩的哈佛大学1938—1939学年诺顿讲座,该讲座以双机幻灯闻名,却鲜少有相关研究。本文依托苏黎世联邦理工学院建筑历史与理论研究所档案馆收藏的吉迪恩档案,首次重建了该讲座首尾三讲的部分幻灯序列。对照《空间、时间与建筑》的配图,揭示出在吉迪恩的古典-现代演进建构中,案例选择的变化与弹性。分析吉迪恩的五种幻灯放映模式,结合Z.Ç.亚历山大对沃尔夫林双机幻灯教学的分析,指出吉迪恩不仅继承了导师沃尔夫林的方法,更自觉利用并发展了巴洛克-现代式的双机幻灯教学模式。本文认为,幻灯在当时是一种既新颖又趋近成熟的展示与思维技术。吉迪恩的技术更新,不但与他意在推广现代主义的历史教学相辅相成,也是他思考和建构建筑史的重要方法。

     

    Abstract: Space, Time and Architecture (SpTA) originated from Sigfried Giedion’s Norton Lectures for 1938–1939 at Harvard, renowned for their use of double-projection. Drawing on Giedion’s materials from the gta Archive at ETH Zurich, this paper reconstructs, for the first time, the slide sequences from the Lectures’ opening and closing sessions. By comparing with the illustrations in SpTA, it reveals shifts and flexibility in Giedion’s case selection within his classical-to-modern framework. It analyzes the 5 projection modes used in Giedion’s lantern slides and, building on Zeynep Ç. Alexander’s discussion on Wölfflin’s double slides pedagogy, argues that Giedion not only inherited his mentor’s method, but consciously advanced a Baroque-Modern approach of his own. This paper suggests that double-projection functioned at the time as an emerging but increasingly mature medium of both presentation and thought. Giedion’s technological innovation not only was a technic to promote modernism through his historical pedagogy, but also served as a key method in his thinking and construction of architectural history.
