工兵、道路测量师与传教士 ——天津租界早期设计者研究

从1860年天津开埠至20世纪初,天津租界的城市设计没有专业建筑师与规划师的参与,天津租界的早期设计者是具有一定工程背景的工兵、道路测量师与传教士。这些非专业设计者对城市的规划与建筑的设计受到军事思维的制约与殖民地城市建设习惯的影响,虽然设计手法较为粗糙,但是在缺乏熟练工匠与现代建筑材料的情况下完成了天津租界的早期建设,并为今日天津历史城区风貌的形成奠定了基础。     

得失之间——从陈明记营造厂看中国近代建筑工业体系之发展

Shanghai College: An architectural history of the campus designed by Henry K. Murphy

American architect Henry Killam Murphy contributed extensively in designing college campuses, making him a significant figure in the history of modern Chinese architecture. This study investigates the influence of Western architecture on modern Chinese architecture based on the master plan of Shanghai College and its architectural design by Murphy. Shanghai College has been maintained by American Baptists since 1906. Its campus is the largest missionary college in China. The Shanghai municipal government designated the campus as a “HERITAGE ARCHITECTURE.” Thus, studying the design characteristics of Shanghai College is important to understand the history of Chinese architecture. From an architectural-historical point of view, studying the design of Shanghai College also helps describe the propagation and development of Western architecture in China. This study determines the historical significance of Shanghai College to help enhance the value of its buildings.
