C. H. Reilly: Regency,Englishness and Modernism

C. H. Reilly (1874-1946) began his tenure of the Professorship of Architecture at Liverpool University by advocating a return to late eighteenth and early nineteenth century classicism, in defiance of the prevailing preference for non-academic Classicism and the Arts and Crafts aspiration to create a styleless architecture. Although Reilly's taste may appear conservative, it resembles in many ways the early stages of Modernism in Germany and France. After supporting American-style classical architecture in the 1920s, Reilly welcomed Modernism and was involved in the design of the Peter Jones store in London, 1936. The article looks at Reilly's developing ideas between the wars and proposes that Peter Jones was a realisation of Reilly's pre-1914 affection for the Regency, setting it in the context of British and foreign writings associating British Modernism with the Regency.     

Constructing Identity and Tradition: Englishness, Politics and the Neo-Traditional House

In an increasingly globalized world, national governments appropriate vernacular building traditions to support national identity-building political agendas. In England the neo-traditional house has become an established feature of suburban architecture. This is not, however, as is often assumed, indicative of the nostalgia of the consumer. Rather, neo-traditionalism is the result of planning policies introduced by the government to preserve regional architectural identities and maintain a visual "Englishness" in the built environment. These policies have, in turn, been undermined by the nationwide standardization of "traditional" designs by national house-building companies.     

Review Article Modernism and reconstruction: architects,networks and plans

This paper discusses the economic and townscape effects of large‐scale urban fires and the marked reduction of the problem in developed world cities during the nineteenth century. At that time a ‘fire gap’, or divergence between the increasing urban population and the falling absolute number of fires, demonstrably emerged. The paper outlines two processes — construction and rebuilding in less flammable materials, and increases in house lot size — which made for a more durable urban environment. This fortunate result, which in general owed little to the effects of urban planning and replanning, was largely a product of rising incomes. Examples are drawn from cities in Britain, North America, and Australia, and are contrasted with cities in the pre‐modern Third World.

现代主义、现代性与建筑 若干历史性与批判性反思

文章探讨了一战后"现代主义"一词在建筑学中的使用,试图阐明该词的起源并强调"现代"建筑早期观点的地域特性和多元性。文章指出,现代建筑的词汇在使用上的转变,从"新建筑"和"现代运动"等措辞到单一术语"现代主义",反映出现代建筑从一场致力于特定的价值观与愿望的活生生的运动到一种既定的风格和一个过去了的文化时期的演变。文章还指出,"现代主义"一词日益频繁的使用与20世纪70年代和80年代后现代主义的出现以及艺术评论和文化理论对建筑学写作日益增加的影响有关。文章在结论部分反思了近期(学界里)挑战"现代主义"这一术语内含的普遍主义的诸种尝试,包括建筑史学家和评论家使用"现代性"一词代替"现代主义"。对"现代性"一词不断增长的偏好,可在一定程度上视作拓展现代建筑地理边界及探索现代化过程中的文化多样性。
