当代著名数学家哥德尔证明:在一个系统中,其构成要素存在着自我相关性。因此,处于这个系统中的人们,只有跳出原有系统到一个更高的层次上,才有可能解决原层次中的问题。所以,要想对建筑的发展规律有一个比较科学全面的认识,就不应局限于建筑这个系统内,而必须在一个更大的系统中去探讨。这个大的系统便是文化。 The famous contemporary mathematician Gödel has proved that in a system, its constituent elements are self-related. Therefore, people in this system can only solve problems in the original level by jumping out of the original system to a higher level. Therefore, if we want to have a more scientific and comprehensive understanding of the development law of architecture, we should not confine ourselves to the system of architecture, but must explore it in a larger system. This big system is culture.
