“中国建造：现代建筑百年对话”展览将于2022年1月28日开幕
Building in China: A Hundred-Year Dialogue of Modern Architecture
Opens January 28, 2022
宾夕法尼亚大学斯图尔特·韦茨曼设计学院将联合东南大学、同济大学共同举办“中国建造：现代建筑百年对话”展览。展览分两部分，从历史和当代实践追溯自中国第一代现代建筑师求学宾大以来中国建筑一个世纪的发展与演变。
The University of Pennsylvania Stuart Weitzman School of Design, in association with Southeast University and Tongji University, presents Building in China: A Hundred-Year Dialogue of Modern Architecture, a two-part exhibition tracing the country’s shifting design practices in the century since many of its leading practitioners and scholars were educated at Penn.
自二十世纪二十年代以来，宾大的本科及研究生建筑教育吸引了众多中国学生，包括杨廷宝（1901-1982）、梁思成（1901-1972）、童隽（1900-1983）、和林徽因（1904-1955）等，他们的职业生涯对中国产生巨大影响。归国后他们成立了中国最早的现代建筑设计事务所和建筑教育机构，奔波于中国物质遗产的发掘保护，并将许多西方设计实践方法引入中国。他们在传统的布扎体系中发展中国语汇，帮助现代主义在中国萌芽。这种东方与西方的对话仍存在于当代中国建筑之中，表现为建筑师们追求现代性和探索本土特征的的双重性。进入二十一世纪，新一代建筑师在中国大规模城市化的背景下在实践与教学双线实验，从不同角度探索具有中国特点的现代建筑表达，以批判性建造为推动文化进步的力量。
Since the 1920s, the undergraduate and graduate architecture programs at Penn have attracted Chinese students who went on to highly influential careers, beginning with Tingbao Yang (1901-1982), Sicheng Liang (1901-1972), Jun Tong (1900-1983), and Huiyin Lin (1904-1955). After returning to China, they founded the country’s first modern firms and educational institutions, devoted themselves to the rediscovery and conservation of Chinese architectural heritages, and introduced many Western design practices in China. Their works grew from the Beaux-Arts tradition but incorporated a Chinese architectural vocabulary, and they sowed the seeds of Modernism in China. The dialogue between the East and the West is alive in contemporary Chinese architecture, and can be seen in the interplay between the pursuit of modernity and the search for national identity. In the 21st century, a rising generation of independent architects, in practice and in education, is actively seeking alternative languages to express Chinese characteristics against the backdrop of the country’s rapid urbanization and massive building projects. In a range of projects and styles, they use design as a tool for cultural critique.

“中国建造”展览力求传达中国现代建筑发展的中西对话、世代对话、以及同时代实践者之间的对话。第一部分历史版块在宾夕法尼亚大学建筑档案馆展出，呈现宾大建筑早期中国毕业生归国后的一系列建筑作品，包括许多未曾展示过的成果。这些作品反映着他们对当时的国际潮流的理解和对发展中的中国城市的设计思考。第二部分当代版块陈列在宾大费舍尔美术图书馆，展示了两位具有代表性的当代建筑师兼教育家张永和与王澍的六个建筑设计作品。这些规模多样的艺术工作室、博物馆以及大学校园项目体现不同尺度下现代性与本土性之间的平衡方式，也反映着建筑师对当代中国社会的理想。
Building in China investigates significant moments in the continuing architectural dialogue between China and the West, between different generations of architects, and among contemporary designers in China. The first part of the exhibition, presented at Penn’s Architectural Archives, focuses on historical representation, and features a series of buildings designed by the first generation of Chinese architects trained at Penn, many of which remain unpublished. They illustrate the architects’ responses to the international modern movement in the first half of the 20th century as well as the ways they intervened in the growing Chinese cities. The second part of the exhibition, on view at Penn’s Fisher Fine Arts Library, includes six projects by architect-educators Yung Ho Chang, co-founder of Atelier FCJZ, and Shu Wang, co-founder at Amateur Architecture Studio, which are emblematic of contemporary Chinese architectural practices. These artists’ studios, museums, and college campuses demonstrate their attempts at incorporating and balancing modernity and locality on the small, medium, and large scales, and reflects the architects’ ideals for contemporary Chinese society.
