数字化时代的方法成长——21世纪中国建筑史研究漫谈

Growing in Digital Era-Chinese Architecture History Studies in the 21st Century

作者描述了自1997至2004年八年间中国建筑史研究的六个突出方面,概括指出数字化、信息化在研究方式或成果上的烙印留痕和中国经济、文化、国际地位整体提高对研究背景影响的时代特征。透过这些现象而看实质性的内容,作者比较了20世纪90年代上半叶到21世纪的三点转变,并认为历史研究本身有其内在逻辑和发展规律,而数字化时代对于中国建筑史研究而言,就像一把双刃剑,会锋利无比地加速或瓦解这一发展过程。警醒是必要的。

The paper discusses the six aspects for the Chinese architecture history studies during the period from 1997 to 2004. In summary, assuming the six aspects are featured with the impacts brought by digital and information processes, in terms of study forms and findings, and as the result of China's overall raised position in economy, culture and international affairs. The author thinks, history study has its own logic and development course. Digital technology, when applied in the study of Chinese architecture history, is a double-edged knife, capable for accelerating or dissolving the ongoing process. Keeping a sober mind is necessary.
