The planning connection between Clarence Stein and Liang Sicheng in Republican China

If Liang Sicheng's meeting with the eminent American planner Clarence Stein in 1936 started Liang's career in planning, it would be a significant event in Chinese planning history. No research has yet explored this claim on Stein's influence on Liang or Stein role in introducing American planning ideas and practices to China. To explore this cultural exchange, the author provides a more holistic understanding of their earnest friendship based on the study of archival materials including the Stein Papers at Cornell University and Liang's working diary at Tsinghua University, their own published writings, and the scholarly work on their contributions. This article reports a more complex picture of this exchange and shows that their friendship deepened while Liang was in America during 1946–1947 as Stein inspired Liang and exposed him to various American planning projects. However, in pursuing of a Chinese planning theory, Liang inherited of diverse traditions and did not rely on Stein alone.     

跨越东西的关注:研读梁思成《华北古建调查报告》术语译名上的引号

为建筑术语的译名加上引号,可以提示读者注意作者对于东西建筑文化间各种关系的权衡思考以及特定的意图,这种跨越东西的关注经由梁思成《华北古建调查报告》一文译名上的引号得以呈现,因而这篇论著在其探索中国建筑术语翻译方法的过程中发挥了重要的作用.本文将通过对译名上引号的缘起、作用以及后续影响的探析,揭示由译名上的引号所彰显出的梁思成对于东西建筑文化交流的开创性贡献.     

梁思成以"体形环境"理念为核心的现代建筑教育思想形成与实践探析

梁思成于1949年提出的以"体形环境"理念为核心的建筑教育思想是中国现代建筑教育思想的重要组成部分.本文尝试溯源"体系环境"建筑教育理念的形成过程,探讨其与二战后西方现代主义建筑思潮及与美国建筑教育的深层联系.文章聚焦梁思成1946-1947年访美期间考察建筑教育与参加普林斯顿大学"人类体形环境规划会议"的经历,着重关注梁思成的工作笔记与会议文集,分析他对西方现代建筑教育思想中现代性与人文性内涵的理解与吸收;同时,挖掘梁思成以"体形环境"理念为核心构建的清华大学营建学系的建筑教育实践内容及其现代建筑教育特征.

Architecture in China and the Meaning of Modern

What is generally understood by Modern architecture in China is set to be re-evaluated across the world with a major exhibition this summer at the RIBA in London and a significant new book by Edward Denison and Guang Yu Ren. Here co-author and co-curator of Modernism in China, Edward Denison , outlines why we need to look back to China's Modernist roots in the early 20th century if we are to understand the intense modernisation of the present.

The evolution of Liang Sicheng’s construction of Chinese architectural traditions in his drawings (1920s–1930s)

This article investigates one of the earliest attempts to systematically construct a building tradition and incorporate it into modern Chinese architectural design. These efforts were put forth by Liang Sicheng (1901–1972), one of the most distinguished Chinese architects and architectural historians, in the 1920s and 1930s in China, informed by the strong collective intention to honour the Chinese past. This article provides a historical and critical reflection on this collective intention that is still shared nowadays by architects and architectural theorists. This article examines in depth the evolution of the different ways Liang used the building past and constructed the Chinese architectural traditions in different crucial stages of his architectural career in the 1920s and 1930s. It uses architectural drawing as both the research subject and the research method. Three of Liang’s representative drawings from these crucial professional stages are juxtaposed and investigated to reveal this evolution using the iconography and iconology method.
