Pozycja Urban Design Thinking of Early Modernist Pioneers – Taking Adolf Loos and Giuseppe Terragni as Case Studies(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2023) Lin Li; Deng HaoThe Beaux-Arts education and the acceptance of modernist ideas have made the architectural creations of early modernist pioneers present a composite character, that is, the architecture itself has a distinctly modernist style while maintaining a harmonious relationship with the city and has a readable ‘urbanity’. Taking the architectural works of architects Adolf Loos and Giuseppe Terragni as examples, this paper elaborates on this composite character in terms of urban tissue, plot, facade, and detail. It is proposed that the simple and conscious ‘urban design thinking’ of the early modernist architectural pioneers should be re-examined from the perspective of urban morphology, which leads to the consideration of how the relationship between modernist architecture and the city has moved from the initial complex synthesis to the later abstract singularity. Whether contemporary architects are critical of modernism as a whole or insistent and submissive, such discussions and reflections are undoubtedly valuable to them.Pozycja Urban Corners in Guangzhou: Desing, Morphology and Everyday Life, 1757–1949(Lodz University of Technology Press, 2023) Deng Hao; Chen FeiUrban corners are a distinct form of public space, yet little has been written about how this type of space has emerged and developed from a historical perspective. Addressing this gap, this paper presents a historical study of the spatial forms of urban corners in China. We reframe the Everyday Urbanism paradigm as an analytical framework to investigate the dynamics of the corners through three particular dimensions: design governance, morphological characteristics and everyday use. Drawing on historical sources such as maps, planning documents, old photographs and drawings, private written records and existing studies, we apply the framework to examine the transformation process of urban corners in the historic city core, Guangzhou, from 1757 to 1949. Findings suggest that urban corners have the potential to become an important cultural heritage in China’s historic cities. It concludes by discussing the implications of these findings for culture-led regeneration in contemporary China.
