在这篇文章中，我们回顾了建筑学和管理学以及组织理论，从它们的相互影响的角度。我们特别关注主流组织理论中的一个隐性含义，它有一个建筑起源。在过去，管理在很大程度上受到笛卡尔理性的支撑，这一点在结构遵循战略的论点中表现得最为明显。在建筑上，这种笛卡尔主义体现在形式服从功能的命令中。批评这一观点，我们认为，组织应该被认为是物质，空间的合奏-而不仅仅是认知抽象写大。以这种方式将空间和组织联系起来，我们反思了每一种空间组织必然隐含的力量，无论是消极的还是积极的。在研究了这个问题的现有方法后，我们讨论了一些积极的权力管理的影响。我们引入了生成性建筑的概念，它不仅仅是一个被动的容器，用于容纳其中发生的行动，而是对组织的能力做出积极贡献。最后，我们对生成性建筑对管理和组织过程的影响进行了反思。
In this article, we re.ect on architecture and management and organization theory, in terms of their mutual implications. We focus especially on a tacit implication in mainstream organization theory, which has an architectural genesis. In the past, management has been largely undergirded by a Cartesian rationality, one seen most clearly in the argument that structure follows strategy. Architecturally, this Cartesianism is present in the injunction that form follows function. Criticizing this point of view, we argue that organizations should be thought of as material, spatial ensembles — not just cognitive abstractions writ large. Linking space and organization in this way, we re.ect on the power that every spatial organization necessarily implies, both in negative and positive terms. After examining existing approaches to this issue, we discuss some positive power implications for management. We introduce the concept of the generative building that, instead of being a merely passive container for actions happening in it, contributes positively towards an organization’s capacities. We conclude with a re.ection on the impact of the generative building on management and processes of organizing.
