一个新传统的形成:1958年的华南工学院建筑系

The Formation of a New Tradition:South China Institute of Technology Department of Architecture in 1958

在经历了1952年院系调整后,新组建的华南工学院建筑系在1958年前后迎来了发展高峰。陈伯齐等建筑系师生将政治运动转化为学科建设的契机,开展大规模的人民公社规划与设计、修订教学大纲、创立城市规划专业、成立建筑设计院与亚热带建筑研究室、自办学术刊物《建筑理论与实践》,等等。这些成就影响深远,奠定了今天华南理工大学建筑学院、亚热带建筑科学国家重点实验室、建筑设计研究院三位一体的发展格局。从建筑教育史的角度来看,1958年既是扬弃旧传统,确立新中国时期华工建筑教育主体性格的一年;也是开启新传统,奠定新格局的一年,因而具有非常重要的意义。

After the adjustment of colleges and departments in 1952, the newly formed South China Institute of Technology Department of Architecture reached a new peak of development around 1958. Chen Boqi and other teachers and students of the Department of Architecture transformed the political movement into an opportunity for disciplinary construction, carried out large-scale planning and design of people’s communes, revised the teaching syllabus, started the urban planning major, established architectural design institute and subtropical architecture research office, and self-established the academic journal Architectural Theory and Practice , etc. These achievements have had far-reaching effects and laid the development pattern of the trinity of the School of Architecture of South China University of Technology, the State Key Laboratory of Subtropical Building Science, and the Architectural Design and Research Institute. From the perspective of the history of architectural education, the year of 1958 was when the old traditions were discarded and the main characteristic of Chinese architectural education in the new China was established;it was also a year to open a new tradition and lay a new pattern, which is of great significance .
