An Essence Of Alexander's Philosophy Of Engineering In The Production Of Houses

Alexandria's "The Production of Houses" is a detailed record of a building project as a research object,and it is also a research and practice of the whole process of a specific construction project under the guidance of mature architectural theory.Through a detailed description of a specific project(the Mexicali project),the book presents the interior situations of residential projects such as design,construction,construction site,and late feedback.This article takes this as the core research object,combs and analyzes the rich and profound engineering philosophical thoughts,tries to excavate the theory and method of the residential engineering philosophy from the interior situation of the project.The current engineering philosophy research urgently needs to pay attention to the engineering situation and the case practice process.Alexander “The Production of Houses” provides such research conditions.At the same time,engineering philosophy research has a low degree of attention to residential engineering problems,and residential engineering is an unavoidable topic in all construction projects and it occupies a significant part of the entire society.Therefore,this article has a good academic significance and practical significance.There are many research paths in engineering philosophy,and there are various ideas in the integration.This article mainly uses the phenomenological method as the main research path,and refers to the use of language philosophy,pragmatism philosophy and other related ideas.The engineering philosophy contained in Alexandria's "Residential Manufacturing" covers the principles of the construction system transformation as a social engineering and the design and construction of naturalengineering.It fully embodies the many properties of engineering philosophy: the systematic nature of the project,the construction of the situation Sex,design participation,process democracy and humanity.Overall,Alexander's "The Production of Houses" made us realize that the problem of residential engineering has the essential characteristics of moving from the living world to the social world.It not only helps to deeply understand the thinking basis and the rhythm of human nature in residential projects,but also allows us to directly grasp the overall attributes of residential problems from the perspective of real experience—the design method,construction process and political,economic,social,and humanistic aspects of residential problems.Establish effective relationships with other areas.
