“和谐社会”思想的渊源：傅立叶的和谐社会思想

和谐社会是人类孜孜追求的一种理想社会形态，自中国共产党十六届四中全会以来，构建社会主义和谐社会进入我党议事日程。因此，就和谐社会思想的由来，傅立叶和谐社会思想概述、评述三个方面对空想社会主义大师傅立叶的和谐社会思想，主要是傅立叶《经济的和协作的新世界》一书中的和谐社会思想做简单疏理、作部分评述，使对傅立叶和谐社会思想有一个较为清楚、科学的认识。     

Inventing the Rural: A Brief History of Modern Architecture in the Countryside

The rural has long occupied a valuable, if under-theorised position in modern architectural history. Here, Cole Roskam , Assistant Professor of Architectural History at the University of Hong Kong, highlights key moments in this history and, in doing so, illuminates a central paradox at the heart of architecture's various turns to the countryside; namely, can architects maintain the physical and social integrity of the rural when they are themselves a fundamental vector of its changing character?     

Mass Customisation and Standardisation: An Urban Dialectic

How has the impetus to standardise diverged and interacted with the impulse to customise over time? Architect and architectural historian Martin Bressani , who is Professor and Director at the School of Architecture at McGill University in Montreal, describes how until the late Medieval period the fabric of Western towns remained highly customised. This was a situation that was only overturned with the consolidation of absolute monarchy and the desire to create ceremonial backdrops, which demonstrated ‘classical regularity’ on a grand scale. The path towards standardisation and Modernism, though, remained in no way linear; Modernism being at least in part a response to the monumental, but overtly bourgeois ornamental forms of Baron Hausmann's Second Empire Paris.
