基于上海工部局年报(1924-1942年)统计的工部局局属建筑管理研究

A Study of the Management of S.M.C Owned Properties Basing on the Annual Report Statistics[1924-1942]

上海公共租界曾是中国运营时间最长和法律最完善的一个租界,上海工部局年报是一份英文的全年工作简报及次年度预算汇报。1924—1942年是上海作为远东建筑中心的建设高峰期,年报中对这一时期的建设记录具有难以替代的历史价值。工部局负责公共租界内的大量中外建筑审批,属于工部局自有财产的局属建筑数量并不多但系统性很强,在工部局年报中具有详细连贯的记录。根据年报统计,对工部局局属建筑设计、质量管理进行梳理,以期挖掘建筑质量的历史成因,为上海近代建筑技术演变研究提供新的文献视角和实物印证。

Shanghai International Settlement used to be the largest and the longest running concession with legal system in modem China, the annual reports by Shanghai Municipal Council （S.M.C.） was a briefing on the current year work and budget for the second year in English. Shanghai was at the peak of its construction as the Far East center during 1924-1942, and the annual record of this construction period was of irreplaceable historical value. S.M.C. was responsible for a large number of Chinese and foreign construction approval in the settlement. However, properties owned by the Municipal Council itself were limited, but highly systematic, which was analyzed in the report in details. Basing on the annual statistics, together with other historical documents, this paper studies the design process and quality management of the Municipal Council owned buildings, in order to reveal historical factors affecting the construction quality. This provides a new literature perspective and physical proof for the research of the evolution of modem architectural technology in Shanghai.
