Ludwig Wittgenstein's 'Clarification' Of The Modern Architecture

The only architectural practice of Wittgenstein has always drawn great attention. As a thesis of the history of science and technology, it sets its base on the architectural history and architectural stylistic history, and depicts this architectural practice. The thesis also investigates the ages in which young Wittgenstein received his education, arguing that Wittgenstein had an excellent gift of mechanism and technique. These gifts also gave Wittgenstein support to do architecture.Some foreign researchers has made a statement from the architectural philosophical point of view that Wittgenstein's architecture belongs to 'classical modernism', or is the 'the fifth Wittgenstein', which show the clues backing to classical architecture. But if we make a more comprehensive relationship between his architecture and philosophy, and check his few remarks of architecture, we will find that there would not be such things like 'backing' to any 'ism' in his mind. In his opinion, the words such as 'blocks' and 'framework' are more meaningful than 'logic' and 'essential', and the architecture concerns the most common things, not anything else. This is the using of the philosophy of ordinary language. Studying the architectural philosophy of Wittgenstein, lays significance in its demanding a clear method of 'craftsman', not the ambiguous 'design'. This will be proved helpful to understand Wittgenstein's late period philosophy's practical character and his architecture.
