時間的紀念性

Abstract

紀念性從古至今是人類永恆的精神追求之一，在中、西方建築史中，金字塔、教堂、方尖碑等，這些過往的偉大人類文化遺產無一不代表對紀念性的追求。然而大多數的紀念物多是單純由規劃者上而下規劃的計畫一環，對於市民大眾而言並無法真切體察之。本論文跟隨建築理論家基提恩對現代紀念性的論述，認為現代的紀念性應該是一種集體經驗的延續，並且做為可顯現其內在生命、其行動、社會性概念象徵/符號之延伸。在思考了現代亞洲城市的困境之後，認為建立「時間的紀念性」在現今發展漸趨快速的城市空間中當是迫切，必須在喪失空間記憶的現代利用「時間知覺」建立集體的記憶，再建立不同刻度時間切片的紀念碑，藉以強化現代人對城市的認同感以及現代城市的內在意義。

這些時間的紀念碑破除過去紀念性由上而下規劃的單一形式，轉化成為散置的、有機的、忠實的面對個人與現象/物質/事件的單純經驗。尤其事物的時間性，最能連結自身記憶與經驗進而集結眾人成為集體記憶，這些集體記憶與意願成就了城市的紀念性與永恆性，讓場所、時間，與人們產生了獨特的意義。希望藉由紀念純粹的時間性，得以感知過往現象/物質/事件存在的生命歷程，重新在現代無主城市中建立人們認知過去/現在/未來的座標系。

Monumentality is one of the ambition of eternal human spirit. In the history of Western architecture, the pyramids, churches, obelisks, etc, These great cultural heritages represent the seeking of monumentality. However, most of the monuments in history are only parts of a great plan by the planners. To the public, the essence of these purposes are not easily understood. This paper is based on the scope of Sigfried Giedion's, an architectural theorist's idea. The discussion of modern monumentality is to believe that modern monumentality should be a continuation of collective experience. In addition, this may appear as their internal life, an extension of people's action, the concept of sociality symbols. After the contemplation of the plight of modern Asian cities, the establishment of "Monumentality of Time" in today's development has become urgent in this rapid development of urban space. The necessity of the idea of "time perception" is utilized to establish a collective memory in order to compensate the loss of spatial memory in the modern society. On the basis of this, one then creates new monuments in different scale of time-slicing for strengthening the sense of identity of modern city.

These new monuments break the one-form of top to down planning commemorative in the past. They transformed it into a loose, organic and personal experience according to the phenomenon / matters / events. In particular, the sense of time can be linked to their own memories and experiences and thus becomes a collective memory of the people that gather, the willingness of the collective memory and the achievements of the eternal monumentality of the city. This allows the place, time, and people to have a unique meaning. By hoping and commemorate the pureness of time, the perception of phenomenon / matter / event in the past can exist in life experience and re-establish people's perception in the past / present / future in the frame of modern coordinate system in modern city.
