南洋劝业会场馆设计考论

A Study of Design of Nanyang Commodity Exposition Gallery

南洋劝业会的大部分场馆设计对国外博览会场馆设计的模仿最为突出,其场馆设计是由中国人完成的,而非借助外国人之手。该会场馆设计可能是把1903年日本大阪第五回博览会作为最完善的参考样板,同时对其他国家博览会场馆设计也有所借鉴,总体上本会的场馆体现的是中外设计杂糅风格。由中国人自行设计和对国外博览会的场馆设计模仿、较多展馆中外合璧的设计样式与风格,反映出了20世纪初中国设计以模仿西方为主的态势,一定程度上也折射出了中国设计本土化的思想萌生,同时也反映出了此时期以会展为介质的中外设计交流思想的初步发展。

The design of many galleries of Nanyang Commodity Exposition greatly imitates the design of foreign exposi- tion galleries. Galleries are designed by Chinese but not by foreigners. The gallery design is possibly taking tile fifth Japanese Exhibition held in 1903 as the most perfect reference sample, and also refers to the design of pavilions of other Countries＇exhibition. Generally speaking, Nanyang Commodity Exposition galleries represent an integrated style of Chinese and foreign design. Voluntarily designed by Chinese and imitating the pavilion design on foreign exhibition, the design pattern and style of many galleries reflects the generation of localization of Chinese design, and meanwhile reflects the preliminary development of the communication between China and foreign countries through exhibition.
