中国建筑“图案”溯考(1920-1940年代)

A Historical Survey of the Chinese Architectural Terminology of ‘Tu’an’ in the 1920s and 1940s

通过对“图案”一词的历史研究,考察其在1920-1940年代从一种类似平面设计的艺术绘画到建筑的“图”“装饰”以及“设计”等含义的转变,并揭示了这些转变背后所显示的“美术”思想在中国“建筑师”的职业构建和建筑“设计”的观念中所产生的深远影响。

Through a historical study of the word ‘tu’an’, this paper examines the change of its meaning from 'graphic design' to architectural 'drawing','decoration' and 'design'. It reveals the profound impacts of ‘fine arts’ on the professional construction of Chinese modern architects and the idea of architectural design from the 1920s to the 1940s.
