教学目标 Course Objectives

这门课程追溯并学习从 18 世纪中叶到当今的现代主义建筑和城市的发展。课程的核心目标是帮助学生们理解现代主义进

程当中对建筑和城市所产生的影响。现代主义建筑是一个丰富并包罗万象的概念，它主要包括了在 19 到 20 世纪所产生的

多种流派的建筑和城市设计的思想。本课程将学习现代主义建筑中的主要流派，并讨论每一流派的思想基础和他们各自的

文化和社会诉求。尽管这门课程讨论的对象主要集中在欧美国家的建筑和城市发展，我们也将讨论亚洲和拉美的主要建筑

成果。每次课我们都将学习几个重要的建筑/城市的案例并分析它们是如何反映了当时的建筑师共同关注的问题，以及他们

提出的解决方案。这些案例也会激发更广泛的话题的讨论，例如现代主义进程中对新的社会的构想，变化的商业结构对建

筑的影响，新的宣传方式对建筑思想的传播的影响，建筑表现方式的变迁等等。

This course studies the evolution of architecture and cities from the late eighteenth century to the present to obtain an

understanding of how the built world responded to various problems in the process of modernization. Modernist

Architecture is an inclusive concept, and it consists primarily of architectural and urban design ideas of various streams

in from the nineteenth to the twentieth century. Although we mainly focus on buildings and cities in Europe and North

America, we will also discuss important sites in Asia and Latin America. This course investigates how various threads of

modern architecture developed their ideologies and practice to address the specific cultural, social and political problems

of their time. Lectures will focus on case studies of significant sites and how they responded to shared concerns among

contemporary architects. They will trigger discussions of broader issues, such as the new visions of society, changing

business structures, new mechanism of publicity, architectural representation, and etc.
