Anthony E. Clark, China Gothic. The Bishop of Beijing and His Cathedral
The underlying argument of Anthony E. Clark’s new book China Gothic: The Bishop of Beijing and His Cathedral is that the French Catholic bishop Alphonse Favier (1837-1905), and his vision for architecture, participated “in several antagonistic divisions related to China’s transition from empire to nation-state” during the late Imperial era (p. 7). In making this claim, Clark seeks to demonstrate that Favier’s Gothic towers rising along Beijing’s …
Unspoken Modernity: Bamboo-Reinforced Concrete, China 1901-40
Engineering science in the China of 1901-40 had unique characteristics that disrupt the idea of a universal approach to its history. 1 The following case study describes the ideas and trials of introducing bamboo into the seemingly globalised technology of reinforced concrete—an innovation developed across the borders of mechanical, naval, civil, and aeronautical engineering. The article showcases a way of knowing and working by twentieth century…
Towards Modern Ceramics in China: Engineering Sources and the Manufacture Céramique de Shanghai
Chinese ceramic technology moved from craftsmanship to an industry-based science "ceramics engineering" from the 1840s to the 1940s. The study argues that construction activities induced the move, starting in architectural ceramics. Increasing efforts from architects, civil and railway engineers, mechanical and electrical engineers, and chemical and geological engineers directed the development, ultimately incorporating China's porcelain and pott…
