梁思成中国近代建筑研究初探

20世纪50～60年代是梁思成建筑史研究的一个特殊时期,在此期间,由于种种特殊的社会、政治原因,使其在学术研究领域投入时间、精力相对于20世纪30～40年代大大减少。但若仔细考察这段历史我们就会发现,梁思成仍然对中国的建筑历史与理论研究做出了特殊的贡献,其宏观、系统而又颇具前瞻性的学术思想在这一时期也得以进一步延续和发展。本文拟从"中国近代建筑研究"这一侧面切入,结合大量的学术访谈,试图将梁思成对中国近代建筑的研究历程进行较为全面的回顾,从而进一步对梁思成中国近代建筑研究的特征、动因及意义进行初步总结,以填补以往研究中的空白。     

Letter From the Editor

This issue is a meaningful one for me because a special section honors David Godschalk, a great scholar, researcher, practicing planner, and teacher who served as Editor of JAPA from 1968 through 1971. Godschalk died in January 2018; many of his former students and colleagues, all accomplished academics and practitioners themselves, immediately asked if they could do a special section of the journal honoring him. JAPA is clearly the right place to do so because he remained an active member of the Editorial Board until just months before his death, because he cared deeply about the journal, and because so much of his work is foundational for both planning practitioners and academics. He was, moreover, the Editor with the intelligence and good sense to publish an atypical article in 1969: Sherry Arnstein’s “Ladder of Citizen Participation.”

Willem Marinus Dudok: the lyrical music of architecture

Willem Marinus Dudok stands out from his Dutch and European peers for resisting the temptation to conform to the aesthetic norms of the avant-garde and for the unique aesthetics in his work. A man who shunned movements and dogma in a time when new architectural manifestos abounded, Dudok preferred to say little about his designs. Yet by combining a close reading of his design work with the few essays that survive, it becomes apparent that one important inspiration for Dudok was classical music composition, in particular counterpoint. Dudok was the son of a professional musician; he played the piano all his life, even sketching his design ideas on scores, probably when he was practising. Analogies between music and architecture date back centuries; typically architects worked with the aspects of form, rhythm, harmony and proportion. But Dudok added another element to the musical arsenal: he used classical counterpoint as an organising principle in plan and elevation. Although he never outlined exactly how he translated his extensive knowledge of music to architecture, Dudok used musical metaphors often enough when describing his work for us to know that music was always on his mind. Dudok was a prolific architect, and considered important during his lifetime—he won the UK's Royal Gold Medal and the American Institute of Architects Gold Medal, there were Dudok societies all around the world—and yet he is largely overlooked today because his work never conformed to the aesthetic expectations of modernism. This paper examines Dudok's design method, in particular his use of musical composition techniques, and re-positions his work as an outstanding example of a different kind of modernism.
