    Lai Jing Chu Retrofitting Le Corbusier's the City of Tomorrow Into the Republic of China In

    Anachronistic translations LaiThe materialization Jing of Urbanisme’s (1924) Chinese translation Chu in 1936, Mingri Zhi Chengshi (literally: The City of Tomorrow), may dazzle the reader of Chinese architectural history as both timely and anachronistic—timely, owing to the relatively short time gap between the Chinese version and Frederick Etchells’s English version in 1929, yet anachronistic, since architecture itself was still a novel Retrofittingdiscipline in China. For sure, piecemeal translations of articles and editorials Le Corbusier’s that summated Western ideas filled the pages of disciplinary journals such as Zhongguo Jianzhu (Chinese Architecture) and Jianzhu Yuekan (Architectural Monthly) as architects and building practitioners fervently explored how “advanced technological knowledge” from the West and “the Chinese essence” could be amalgamated. That said, an actual cover-to-cover book translation of Thethe architectural/urban City design genre was still wanting owingof to the large amountTomorrow into of capital investment, labor, and effort that such an endeavor would entail. Treating translation as a type of media in itself, this paper borrows architectural historian Esra Ackan’s dynamic interpretation of the term, which “includes any act of changing from one place, position, condition, medium, or language”1 through thethe movement Republic of people, capital, ideas, technologies, information and images .2 of China in 1936 Homing in on the book as a cultural artifact, a deep observation of the The City of 104 Tomorrow’s physical, material, and textual properties centers this investigation. By interrogating the book both as a designed object and a vessel for pioneering ideas, and setting these observations against the political, cultural, technological and urban-spatial context of China’s 1930s, this paper seeks to unravel the func- tion and agenda of the translated book situated in its specific epoch.
  • The Guomindang Cosmography of Street Names

    The Guomindang Cosmography of Street Names

    if.iAPPENDIX C The Guomindang Cosmography of Street Names IT IS EVIDENT from the naming patterns still visible that deeply significant arrangements of space are not limited to choreographic movements before temples. Every Taiwan town carries a message of Guomindang ideology in its street names: (a) identifying Chiang Kai-shek, Zhongzheng, with his prede­ cessor Sun Yat-sen, Zhongshan (in Taipei, however, Chiang was represented by Jieshou Road near Jieshou Hall, the re­ named Japanese government center, Jie being part of his personal name, and shou meaning "longevity"); (b) identifying Chiang's ideas and the Nanking government with Sun Yat­ sen's Three Principles of the People (sanminzhuyi); (c) identify­ ing Guomindang authority in Taiwan with the moral purposes . of Nanking government (1928-37) and earlier revolutionary events and organizations; (d) identifying Guomindang author­ ity with specific Confucian values and universalistic standards of peace and impartiality; (e) recalling Chineseness with such names as Zhonghua Road and the names of mainland cities; and (f) carefully limiting Taiwanese symbolism. Neutral names and local names are interspersed but never for important streets. Very few leaders are so memorialized. Lin Sen Street could refer to Lin Sen (1868-1943), the dignified and powerless chief of state in the Nanjing regime, or to his Appendix C 319 eponymous county of birth in Fujian. Keqiang Road in Shilin may be named for Huang Xing, the early Guornindang leader. In Taipei, as is so often the case, the Three Principles of the People are used to name parallel streets in the same order as Sun used, with Nationalism first: Minzu, Minquan, and Min­ sheng.

  • City Guide Taipei

    Taipei 101 tower dominates the Taipei skyline Sigh of the The city that’s become a byword for high-tech is embracing life in analogue, celebrated for butterfl y-fi lled forests, trekking trails, hot springs, short-break options, culture and cuisine. TIGER WORDS SALLY HOWARD 72 QANTAS JUNE 2015 JUNE 2015 QANTAS 73 Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall Shilin night market Culture youth CITY GUIDE TAIPEI S TIGERS GO, Taipei is endearingly tame. In recent years, this Asian boom town has broken away from fast-paced cousins Shanghai and Beijing to cultivate a laid-back lifestyle that’s all its own. Riverside cycle paths, tucked-away tea houses, a bookish take on hipsterdom and Acelebrations of all that’s slow-paced in culture and consumption have come to defi ne a city that, as the old Taiwanese adage goes, lives “for the aroma of books… the smell of tea”. This onus on quality of life is partly due to Taiwan’s booming, politically conscious middle class. Its rising expectations are refl ected in civic improvements that include a rapid expansion of the Taiwanese capital’s mass rapid transit system (MRT), a citywide cycle-sharing scheme, YouBike (youbike.com.tw), with daily rentals now exceeding 60,000, and projects aimed at reversing the erosion of Taipei’s natural environment. The latter include the Green Net, a citywide network of newly planted green spaces, and Tamsui waterfront, a regeneration project opening the riverside quarter’s post-war embankments and improving its pedestrian access to the city via a new “sky garden” overpass.

  • City Tours Taipei, New Taipei/Taoyuan, Taichung, Tainan, and Kaohsiung by Public Transport and Public Rental Bike Introduction

    Travel in TAIWAN Theme Guide City Tours Taipei, New Taipei/Taoyuan, Taichung, Tainan, and Kaohsiung by Public Transport and Public Rental Bike Introduction During the years of the Taiwan Economic Miracle in the last century, emphasis was placed on rapid material growth, with limited thought given to a city’s visual aesthetics. New times bring new thinking. In this century’s Taiwan, wealthy and ever more genteel, city populations have embraced the internationalist “livable city” concept with great passion. Innovative, cutting-edge green architecture is sprouting up like a beautifying forest. On the health front, healthy lifestyles with plenty of vigorous outdoor exercise is the new clarion call. A dense network of dedicated bike paths through green spaces and dedicated bike lanes on urban roads has been built up, with public bike-rental facilities always readily available, your high-quality self-powered mechanical steed made available at ultra-low cost. Adding to the convenience is the fact that bikes can be picked up at one rental station and dropped off at another, and that the stations are interlinked with other public-transport systems. In this booklet we showcase the wonderful experiences you can have in Taiwan’s biggest cities, which are lined up like a string of pearls from the island’s far north to far south along its west side. Each has a strikingly different personality. Fast-paced Taipei, which sits in a basin surrounded by mountains, is the political, financial, and cultural capital. The New Taipei/Taoyuan agglomeration provides ready seaside and low-mountain access. Light- industry Taichung is rich in wide roads and open spaces.

Lee This thesis studies Zhang Yuan 张园 (Zhang Family Garden), a public garden in semi-colonial Shanghai founded by Wuxi merchant Zhang Shuhe 张叔和 (1850-1919). Opened in 1885 and closed in 1919, Zhang Yuan, along with other Chinese public gardens, was one the most popular venues for the public to experience the newly imported Western-style practices and ideas in urban Shanghai. However, scholarship on the urban history of Shanghai overlooks this critical field and focuses instead on Western-style schools, companies, and print industry. I propose that commercialized entertainment gardens, such as Zhang Yuan, better illustrate the negotiation between the established and the imported which marked the permeation of changes in late 19th and early 20th century Shanghai. In addition, this thesis approaches Zhang Yuan as a fluidly constructed social space to reveal the interconnections between changes in various integrated social areas.
