Summary:
En Asie, le grand hôtel est directement lié au voyageur étranger. Il correspond à un temps non seulement de modernisation urbaine mais aussi d'ouverture et de relation avec les Occidentaux. C'est donc un lieu de rapport de forces économiques, d'importation de techniques modernes et de comportements nouveaux, un lieu enfin de confrontation culturelle. Objet urbain importé(...)

Summary:
En Asie, le grand hôtel est directement lié au voyageur étranger. Il correspond à un temps non seulement de modernisation urbaine mais aussi d'ouverture et de relation avec les Occidentaux. C'est donc un lieu de rapport de forces économiques, d'importation de techniques modernes et de comportements nouveaux, un lieu enfin de confrontation culturelle. Objet urbain importé de l'Occident, le grand hôtel s'impose néanmoins comme marqueur des sociétés urbaines asiatiques. Il invite ainsi à reconsidérer les oppositions classiques entre la tradition et la modernité, l'identité asiatique et l'occidentalisation. Différentes générations de grands hôtels coexistent aujourd'hui dans les métropoles développées d'Asie que sont Tôkyô, Séoul, Hong Kong, Shanghai ou Pékin. Nombreux sont leurs atouts pour attirer les clients locaux et étrangers : ils s'appuient sur l'évocation de temps magnifiés et révolus, ou au contraire sur la modernité et le renouveau qu'ils incarnent ; ou bien ils jouent de leur double identité occidentale et asiatique ; enfin, ils offrent des services spécifiques (bar de nuit, salle d'exposition, centre de conférence...) Deux démarches sont ici suivies : une comparaison de l'usage asiatique du grand hôtel - et de ses temporalités - avec celui en Europe et en Amérique du Nord ; puis, l'analyse des modèles urbains venus d'Occident non pas sous l'angle de la seule importation mais aussi sous celui d'une histoire proprement asiatique de l'occidentalisation. A partir d'un objet singulier, cet ouvrage propose une interrogation sur la ville dans ses dimensions spatiale, sociale et de représentation. Il porte en particulier sur les sociabilités urbaines en Asie aujourd'hui, et il est issu d'une réflexion commune entre architectes, historiens et géographes, tous spécialistes de l'Asie orientale.

Summary:
n the years following China’s Cultural Revolution, architecture played an active role in the country’s reintegration into the global economy and capitalist world. Looking at the ways in which political and social reform transformed Chinese architecture and how, in turn, architecture gave structure to the reforms, Cole Roskam underlines architecture’s unique ability to shape space as well as behavior. Roskam traces how foreign influences like postmodernism began to permeate Chinese architectural discourse in the 1970s and 1980s and how figures such as Kevin Lynch, I. M. Pei, and John Portman became key forces in the introduction of Western educational ideologies and new modes of production. Offering important insights into architecture’s relationship to the politics, economics, and diplomacy of post-Mao China, this unprecedented interdisciplinary study examines architecture’s multivalent status as an art, science, and physical manifestation of cultural identity.

Summary:
Built around snatches of discussion overheard in a Beijing design studio, this book explores attitudes toward architecture in China since the opening of the Treaty Ports in the 1840s. Central to the discussion are the concepts of ti and yong, or “essence” and “form,” Chinese characters that are used to define the proper arrangement of what should be considered modern and essentially Chinese. Ti and yong have gone through various transformations--for example, from “Chinese learning for essential principles and Western learning for practical application” to “socialist essence and cultural form” and an almost complete reversal to “modern essence and Chinese form.” The book opens with a discussion of cultural developments in China in response to the forced opening to the West in the mid-nineteenth century, efforts to reform the Qing dynasty, and the Nationalist and Communist regimes. It then considers the return of overseas-educated Chinese architects and foreign influences on Chinese architecture, four architectural orientations toward tradition and modernity in the 1920s and 1930s, and the controversy over the use of “big roofs” and other sinicizing aspects of Chinese architecture in the 1950s. The book then moves to the hard economic conditions of the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution, when architecture was almost abandoned, and the beginning of reform and opening up to the outside world in the late 1970s and 1980s. Finally, it looks at the present socialist market economy and Chinese architecture during the still incomplete process of modernization. It closes with a prognosis for the future.
