According to a standard view, architectural works are nothing but material buildings. This paper argues that this is just one of many options, each of which may capture more incisively what architects really produce in different circumstances. Three fundamental splits are examined. First, architectural works can be regarded as either objects or events. Second, they can be understood as mere abstract entities, types, or concrete particulars. Third, they can be identified narrowly or broadly. The resulting combinations are explored and tested against concrete situations. The paper argues that, while adopting the type view in conjunction with the narrow view is simpler when we consider stereotypical, vernacular or modular architecture, when we have to do with more experimental and creative approaches it seems more appropriate to identify the architectural work with a broadly identified concrete particular or, at most, with a broadly identified abstract entity that can hardly coincide with the content of the architectural design. The paper highlights that the same goes—mutatis mutandis—for traditional and stereotypical cooking, on the one hand, and haute cuisine, on the other hand. So the paper is also an investigation of the closeness between architecture and cooking, and of the contingent character of some of their differences.

建筑作品的本体及其与烹饪作品的接近度

按照标准的观点，建筑作品不过是物质建筑。本文认为，这只是众多选择中的一种，每一种选择都可能更敏锐地捕捉建筑师在不同情况下真正产生的东西。检查了三个基本的分裂。首先，建筑作品既可以被视为对象，也可以被视为事件。其次，它们可以被理解为仅仅是抽象的实体、类型或具体的细节。第三，可以狭义地或广义地识别它们。根据具体情况探索和测试由此产生的组合。该论文认为，虽然当我们考虑定型、本土或模块化架构时，将类型视图与窄视图结合使用会更简单，当我们不得不使用更多实验性和创造性的方法时，将建筑作品与广泛识别的具体特定或最多与与建筑设计内容几乎不相符的广泛识别的抽象实体进行识别似乎更合适。该论文强调，一方面是传统和陈规定型的烹饪，另一方面是高级烹饪，同样如此——比照。所以这篇论文也是对建筑与烹饪之间的密切关系，以及它们之间一些差异的偶然性的调查。该论文强调，一方面是传统和陈规定型的烹饪，另一方面是高级烹饪，同样如此——比照。所以这篇论文也是对建筑与烹饪之间的密切关系，以及它们之间一些差异的偶然性的调查。该论文强调，一方面是传统和陈规定型的烹饪，另一方面是高级烹饪，同样如此——比照。所以这篇论文也是对建筑与烹饪之间的密切关系，以及它们之间一些差异的偶然性的调查。
