Bentham 3 Conservation issues: comparing Italy and China Conservation thoughts began to be introduced to China in the end of 1900s, mainly from the Japan’s research results, then from the Western directly from 1930s. Owing to two world wars and internal political turbulent situation, it leaded to little gains. The huge quick urbanization from 1980s has swept away existing built environment extensively and annihilated national-wild identity. Professionals shed great attention on the historic heritage conservation since then. Massive international laws, charters and international cases began to be introduced, and China started to involve in international historic conservation movements actively. Though basic hierarchy conservation system was established, ideal methods was plotted, specific planning program was outlined, limited projects was performed successfully. Actually, the current system cannot prevent large-scale violation and destruction, misinterpretation and aberrant interventions.

  • The Political Symbolism of Chinese Timber Structure： a Historical Study of Official Construction in Yingzao-Fashi
    The Political Symbolism of Chinese Timber Structure： a historical study of official construction in Yingzao-fashi Pengfei Ma A thesis in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Built Environment 2020 Surname/Family Name : Ma Given Name/s : Pengfei Abbreviation for degree as give in the University calendar : PhD Faculty : Faculty of Built Environment School : School of Built Environment Thesis Title : The Political Symbolism of Chinese Timber Structure： a historical study of official construction in Yingzao-fashi Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) This research presents a historical study of timber construction in the official building code Yingzao-fashi from the lens of politics. The longevity of Chinese civilisation is associated with the ephemeral but renewable timber structure of Chinese buildings. Such an enduring and stable tie, to a large extent, should be attributed to the adaptability of timber structures to the premodern Chinese political system. The inquiry and analysis of the research are structured into three key aspects — the impetus of Yingzao-fashi, official construction systems, the political symbolism of and literature associated with timber structure. The areas of inquiry are all centred on the research question: how did Chinese timber structure of different types serve premodern Chinese politics? First, Yingzhao-fashi has been studied by scholars mainly from a technical point of view, but it was a construction code designed to realise the agenda of political reform. Secondly, the main classifications of timber structures in Yingzao-fashi – diange and tingtang – possessed distinct construction methods of vertical massing and horizontal connection respectively. These two methods, emphasising different architectural elements, are identified as two construction systems created for royal family and officials: royal construction and government construction.

    RELIGION AND SOCIETY IN ASIA Kuo (ed.) Kuo Religion and Nationalism in Chinese Societies Edited by Cheng-tian Kuo Religion and Nationalism in Chinese Societies Religion and Nationalism in Chinese Societies Religion and Society in Asia The Religion and Society in Asia series presents state-of-the-art cross-disciplinary academic research on colonial, postcolonial and contemporary entanglements between the socio-political and the religious, including the politics of religion, throughout Asian societies. It thus explores how tenets of faith, ritual practices and religious authorities directly and indirectly impact on local moral geographies, identity politics, political parties, civil society organizations, economic interests, and the law. It brings into view how tenets of faith, ritual practices and religious authorities are in turn configured according to socio-political, economic as well as security interests. The series provides brand new comparative material on how notions of self and other as well as justice and the commonweal have been predicated upon ‘the religious’ in Asia since the colonial/imperialist period until today.

  • Modern “Chinese-Style” Arbours: Image Authenticity Or Distortion?
    DOI: 10 .23817/2020 defarch. .3-2 YULIA IVASHKO ORCID: 0000-0003-4525-9182 Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture, Ukraine CHANG PENG ORCID: 0000-0001-7772-5200 Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture, Ukraine MODERN “CHINESE-STYLE” ARBOURS: IMAGE AUTHENTICITY OR DISTORTION? WSPÓŁCZESNE ALTANY „W CHIŃSKIM STYLU”: AUTENTYCZNOŚĆ CZY ZAFAŁSZOWANIE WZORU? Abstract One of fashionable threads in modern landscaping is the widespread use of modern arbours that are positioned as small “Chinese-style” forms . The investigation of traditional Chinese pavilions proves the superficial perception of Chinese traditions without the understanding of age-old foundation on which they were formed . Actually, modern “Chinese” arbours form the misperception both of the signs of the traditional Chinese garden architecture and the methods of integrating the small forms into the natural environment . Architecture in China has always been ancillary to the natural environment and climate, and was the expression of the social hierarchy of a person who owned the rich variety of materials and ornaments with the specific sacral significance . Keywords: arbours, distortion of traditions, China Streszczenie Masowe zastosowanie nowoczesnych altan, które określane są jako małe formy architektoniczne w tzw . chińskim stylu, jest obecnie jednym z kierunków we współczesnym projektowaniu krajobrazowym . Stosowanie wzorców tradycyjnych chińskich pawilonów świadczy o powierzchownym postrzeganiu chińskiej tradycji bez zrozumienia podstaw jej formowania . W rzeczywistości współczesne „chińskie” altany przekazują zarówno nieprawdziwy obraz tradycyjnej chińskiej architektury ogrodowej, jak i metod włączania małych form do krajobrazu . Architektura w Chinach zawsze była podporządkowana krajobrazom oraz klimatowi . Wyrażała także przyjętą hierarchię władzy przez bogactwo materiałów i detalu, mając przy tym szczególne znaczenie sakralne .
