荷蘭建築師范艾克(1918-1999)是CIAM和TEAM10的重要成員。范艾克深受了當時結構主義及自身原始部落調查工作的影響，在建築理念和作品中充滿對人道主義的關懷，且將人文思維帶進當時強調機能主義之建築領域。 本文以三部份來闡述他獨特的建築理念。 （一）時間與空間之內部：時間與空間是抽象的、無生息的，加上時間的縱深和人們的經歷，便成了意義豐富的場所和事件，變成了家的到來。 （二）城市與數量的美學：引用原始部落認識環境的行為模式（籃子、家、村落、地區、宇宙），架構可認知的城市。多量建築物經統一的外形及和諧的律動，成就了城市的美學。 （三）中介與雙重現象：工業革命之後，大量生產需求使得原料和成品，全面標準化。連帶的人們的食、衣、住、行，也被要求統一規格化。但是生活事物的呈現並非如此簡單，常常黑、白並存，有時甚至連黑、白、灰同時呈現。范艾克將這種現象稱為「雙重現象」，提供化解私人與公共、空地與高樓等二分法的另一種思維。

Dutch architect Aldo Van Eyck (1918-1999), a member of CIAM and TEAM 10, was greatly influenced by Structuralism and the architecture of Dogon village in Mali, West Africa. He brought humanistic thinking into architecture when his contemporaries were obsessed with Functionalism. In this paper, the architectural thinking of Aldo Van Eyck is elucidated in three parts: 1. The ”interiorization” of space and time: Time and space are abstract words. Only when added to ”temporal depth” and human experience can they become ”places” or ”occasions,” brimming with significance. Home-coming is then brought into being. 2. The City and the aestheticism of numbers: By using the Dogon villagers' concept of gradation of the outer world (basket, village, city, universe) man can create a comprehensive city. The huge city buildings, in unified form, produce a sense of harmony in motion and create the aesthetics of a city. 3. In-between and twin-phenomenon: After the industrial revolution, mass production standardized materials and goods. As a result, the world we live in was simplified. But things are not always as they seem. Things often coexist in shades of black, white and gray. Van Eyck calls this the ”twin-phenomenon”, which offers a way to solve the conflicts between individuals and groups, land and buildings.
