Abstrakt

The 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.
