場所-精神(place-form)觀念的恢復,是當今人類居住環境的重要議題之一。此觀念並非一朝一夕形成,乃隨著人類自古而來悠久的歷史發展演變而來。它是人類寶貴的文化遺產之一,且它早就是一豐富且健全的生態環保思想。它遍存於東、西方之神話、宗教、哲學及建築等領域。為能較全面地剖析場所-精神觀念,本研究從東、西方之相關文獻中歸納出和諧宇宙觀、場所-精神(place-form)觀念中form之源初意義、場所之時間因素、場所之物理特徵、場所之邊界和宇宙更新儀式等六主旨,再從此六主旨詮釋、剖析場所-精神觀念,指出安藤忠雄與場所-精神觀念相關的建築思想,最終以安藤忠雄住宅、文化和宗教建築案例來驗証‘場所-精神觀念對安藤忠雄建築具正面之影響’此一論點。
The recovery of the place-form concept is one of the environmental issues of human habitat. This concept is not formed overnight, but is gradually developed from the ancient past to the present of human history. It is among the precious legacies of the species, and has been a rich and sound ecological environmental protection thought since time immemorial. It is present in the fields of mythology, religion, philosophy and architecture. In order to analyze comprehensively the place-form concept, this study induce the following six motifs, that is, the harmonious Weltanschauung, the original meaning of form in the place-form concept, the temporal aspect of place, the physical characteristics of place, the boundaries of place and the cosmic renewal ritual. Then, the place-form concept is interpreted, analyzed from the standpoints of the above six motifs. And finally the theory that the place-form concept had a positive influence upon Tadao Ando’s architecture is verified through the careful examination of Tadao Ando’s residential, cultural and religious architectural examples.
