聆听高迪

在19世纪末20世纪初欧洲工业化进程中掀起了反对繁缛维多利亚风格和工业化风格的新艺术运动,影响波及包括建筑在内的所有艺术领域。西班牙新艺术运动建筑大师高迪从建筑造型、装饰等多个角度阐释了新艺术运动的宗旨——"我们的根在林木之幽,泉水之侧苔藓之上"。打响了欧洲现代建筑的第一枪。     

现代设计——从整和到混合

我们从现代主义到后现代主义设计的转变中可以看到,各种新的思潮、新的流派、新的理论和新的风格往往都首先在建筑领域孕育、发展、变化。现代主义设计强调视觉世界的"整和";而后现代主义则是采用了"混合"的手段,呈现出与以往现代主义截然不同的面貌。设计正是通过相互不断的"整和"与"混合",由单一性逐渐向多元性、不确定性、符号性演变,也使得人们的生活方式更加丰富多彩。

Michel Ecochard in Lebanon and Syria (1956–1968). The spread of Modernism,the building of the independent states and the rise of local professionals of planning

The architect and planner Michel Ecochard has had a long career in developing countries, from its first works in Syria under the French rule, until the 1970s. He represented the modernist and functionalist approach to planning in a time of modernization. In this article, we concentrate on his work in Lebanon and Syria between the end of the 1950s and the 1960s. He prepared the master plans of Beirut and of Damascus. Those works represented the end of an era rooted in colonial planning. It was also the beginning of a new time, with the local planners taking on, sometimes sharing, sometimes contesting Ecochard's visions. Building on recent scholarship on the circulation of planning ideas, we focus on the reception of Ecochard's proposals. Though most political elites and planning professionals shared most of Ecochard's views, the political circumstances and the changing social conditions led to adjustments and reorientations. The new planning framework was also a major factor of change.     

New urban forms: the crescents of Bath and Le Corbusier's plan for Rio de Janeiro

This article considers whether formal references in Le Corbusier's work may be traced to the eigtheenth century crescents of Bath and, in particular, Lansdowne Crescent. By exploring this line, it raises the possibility that in the work he produced for the Latin American context, this arch-modernist planner moved beyond the de-contextualized approach for which he is known and explored the possibility of integrating new urban forms with nature. The article also shows how Le Corbusier's plans for Rio de Janeiro allowed him to become an important formal reference point for successive generations of local architects and planners.     

The Heritage of the Productive Landscape: Landscape Design for Rural Areas in the Netherlands, 1954-1985

In the current debate about the future of the Dutch countryside, more and more attention is drawn to the role of landscape heritage. Spatial designers are asked to translate historic identities into spatial forms in order to bridge the gap between past and future. Special cultural heritage policies are developed to stimulate a shift in design practice and to increase awareness of the value of cultural landscapes. Because interpretation of the rural landscape is often rooted in nostalgia, most conservation efforts are directed at old historical landscapes and rural scenes. But what about modern rural landscapes? How do these landscapes relate to the emerging issue of heritage protection and development? To answer this question the historical significance of these landscapes was examined by analyzing their design in the slipstream of post-war reconstruction. Attention was also given to their possible future in a planning and management context that is increasingly influenced by a public and professional demand for landscape conservation and heritage. We argue that these landscapes are at odds with the values and core convictions of the current heritage policies and merit recognition in their own right.

华兹华斯诗歌的现代阐释

华兹华斯是英国浪漫主义诗歌的开拓者之一，但他的诗歌已经具备了现代主义诗歌的因子。主要表现在3个方面：情与理的交融，精神顿悟的“时间之点”，悲观的现代情绪。华兹华斯诗歌的现代性特征，恰好说明了文学史发展的继承性与延续性这一规律。
