Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Pages in the History of Shanghai, 1842-1856: A Paper Read Before the China Society on May 23, 1916 Thirty odd years ago, life at Shanghai was, perhaps, not so strenuous as it has since become, and the British Vice Consulate was not so busy but that there were half-hours in which other work than that of the day could be taken in hand. As much of the ordinary work, related to the tenure of land within the Settlement, this subject naturally excited my interest, especially owing to the existence of two counter-forces, of which the one impelled natives to acquire land within the Settlement intended for foreigners, while the other drove foreigners to live outside their own Settlement. In the one case, the cause was the desire to secure the immunities and advantages which were to be obtained by living in territory controlled and policed by foreigners. In the other, the motive was to get away from the bustle and stir of the busy port, and to enjoy a country life outside of. Office hours. In both cases there was added the excitement of the knowledge that the purchase of property was an} extremely good speculation, and that the tendency was towards a constant advancement of values in spite of occasional waves of depression.

Download or read book Architecture and the Landscape of Modernity in China before 1949 written by Edward Denison and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-02-17 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores China’s encounter with architecture and modernity in the tumultuous epoch before Communism – an encounter that was mediated not by a singular notion of modernism emanating from the west, but that was uniquely multifarious, deriving from a variety of sources both from the west and, importantly, from the east. The heterogeneous origins of modernity in China are what make its experience distinctive and its architectural encounters exceptional. These experiences are investigated through a re-evaluation of established knowledge of the subject within the wider landscape of modern art practices in China. The study draws on original archival and photographic material from different artistic genres and, architecturally, concentrates on China’s engagement with the west through the treaty ports and leased territories, the emergence of architecture as a profession in China, and Japan’s omnipresence, not least in Manchuria, which reached its apogee in the puppet state of Manchukuo. The study’s geographically, temporally, and architecturally inclusive approach framed by the concept of multiple modernities questions the application of conventional theories of modernity or post-colonialism to the Chinese situation. By challenging conventional modernist historiography that has marginalised the experiences of the west’s other for much of the last century, this book proposes different ways of grappling with and comprehending the distinction and complexity of China’s experiences and its encounter with architectural modernity.
