The Research Of Material On The Thought Of Semiotics

The paper abandon the stereotype of style and genre which first impressions arestrongest, regression and do some research about the architectural essence, toward thebackground of The Image, the collapse of metaphysics and consumer culture.Through the deduction to the architectural essence in the field of primitive world andmetaphysics and physical reflection and semiotics, the paper confirm the object ofstudy is material which is the part of entity, instead of the space which is belongs tothe category of sociology with people.Through the essence of architecture speculation,the paper expand the domain of the material, which is all material entity in addition tovoid. In the study angle, the paper break through the traditional viewpoint oftechnology to study the material, which is abstracted into sign and semiotic system, toresearch the use of material and the ideaistic development in architectural design onthe thought and theory of semiotics.The paper not only discriminate the connotation and denotation of material in theChinese and English context and think about the two-fold properties of physical andmental; but also doubt the principle of the truth in the use of material though the morediscussion about the nature and expression of the material. The paper not only explainmaterial on the thought of semiotics and come up with the four elements of material-matter, form, meaning and reader, but also point out the relationship between matterand form belongs to the domain of syntactic; the relationship between form andmeaning belong to the domain of semantics; the relationship between meaning andreader belong to the domain of pragmatics.The paper analyse some concrete architecture examples on three level of thesyntactic compose, the semantics express, the pragmatics experience and twodimensionality of synchrony and diachrony.It point out the material perspective offorms with informationization with syntactic absorption on the synchrony research ofmould, tectonics, masonry and the diachrony research of the form elements ofmaterial; it point out the material perspective of regional express with semanticsresistance on the synchrony research of reappear, metaphor, symbol and the diachronyresearch of the meaning of material; it point out the material perspective of“dematerialization” with pragmatics fusion on the synchrony research of person,nature, social culture and the diachrony research of the explain of material.It leads to a final conclusion with the multi-dimensional “materiality” on the thought of semiotics, it point out the material dependency and the independency withrespect to space, therefore it get involved the architectural design with differentelements of matter, form, meaning, explaining. It point out the relationship betweenpluralism and specialist engineer: today diversifying situation derive from theexplaining of different domains on the thought of semiotics, so architect may beabsorbed in one field. It point out we are in discourse transformation from material to“materiality” on the thinking of divided and corporate with architect and worker, sowe should enhance training on the experience of “matter”, which including in physicsand psychology property.
