中国堪称“世界中的世界”。在当代中国地域空间里发生的事情无不受到世界的关注。对中国建筑的发展情况,西方国家也有许多评论,研究这些来自西方的信息,有助于我们对自己的建筑做出认真的思考。 1.从封闭到开放·现代中国建筑史的转折点 尽管我们以前曾经连篇累牍地介绍西方建筑,也曾进行东西方建筑的比较研究,甚至多次争鸣过与“洋为中用”相关的种种问题。但严格地说,我们的“西方”观念往往还是模糊不清,对西方建筑只是一知半解,其主要原因在于我们所能获得并掌握的西方 China is called “the world in the world.” What happens in the geographical space of contemporary China is all the attention of the world. For the development of Chinese architecture, Western countries also have many comments. Studying these information from the West helps us to think seriously about our own buildings. 1. From the Closed to the Opening of the History of Modern Chinese Architecture Although we have previously introduced the Western architecture in great detail, we have also conducted comparative studies of Eastern and Western architecture, and have even contended repeatedly on the various problems associated with “foreign use”. But strictly speaking, our “Western” concept is often ambiguous. It is only a partial knowledge of Western architecture. The main reason is that we can obtain and master the West.
