A Study Of The Discourse On Modern Architecture In China In 1950s

"Modern architecture" is an unavoidable topic when we talk about the history of the buildings.It is also an important direction in the study of architecture theory.It can be said that it is because of the emergence and development of modern architecture theory that the architecture gradually shows the charm that is different from other art,so whether it is for the past or the present China Modern architecture is a very important discourse in architecture.Then,How was the discourse of "modern architecture" discussed in the context of Chinese architecture in the 1950s?This article tries to study on this question and review of the "modern architecture" in China in 1950s.And expect to survey the development of the Chinese architecture in a period of time from the perspective of"modern architecture".In recalling the history of the establishment and gradual development of the Chinese Modern Architecture Discourse System in twentieth Century,it will be found that 1950s is a very important turning stage in the course of the development of Chinese architecture.It not only helped to understand the development and change of architectural discipline in the 1980s,but also had a certain impact on the development of Chinese architecture in the second half of twentieth Century.The architectural discourse in this period is often ignored because of its strong political complex.Therefore,this article hopes to take the "modern architecture" in 1950s as the starting point.Through literature reading,we can restore the discourse and historical context of the modern architecture at that time,and then rethink its historical role in the development of Chinese modern architecture in 1950s.The main body of this article is divided into three parts:first,the process of the initial rise of modern architectural discourse from 1920 to 1940s is reviewed.Under the impact of the western culture,the Chinese architecture concept has changed.The modern architecture discourse system is accompanied by the emergence of Chinese architect.It was spread by their various theories and practical activities.Although most of the modern architectural discourse in this period was introduced in style.And the Chinese architects misunderstood the modern architecture to a certain extent.However,some important topics in Chinese modern architectural discourse have appeared in this period.For example,the discussion of"space".It lead to a way of understanding Chinese traditional architecture.These all paved the way for the further development of the "modern architecture" in 1950s.Secondly,it introduced the background of the 1950s from the perspective of social economy and architectural culture.The lack of materials and the extremely closed international environment make the development of architecture more and more volatile and undulating.Finally,the discussion on the discourse of "modern architecture" in 1950s was carried out.After the founding of People's Republic of China,the ideology of the state was penetrated into all fields.The modern architectural discourse of the Soviet Union strongly influenced the development of Chinese architecture.Modern architecture theory were both been criticized and been accepted in this period.Chinese architects have realized the importance of space theory to architectural design.They began to explore Chinese tradition from the angle of space.They also apply this concept of space to architectural design.Modern architectural discourse has gradually become a topic widely discussed by many architects.The modern architecture discourse in Chinese architecture riched architectural vocabulary and changed the concept of architecture.And it also related to the strong national identity that Chinese architects always seeked for.It pointed the way to the modern Chinese architecture from the angle of space.And it provided some clues for architectural design methodology.To a certain extent the study on the development process of Chinese modern architecture reflects the course of Chinese architectural modernization.The whole thesis contains about 67 000 words,53 pictures and charts,...
