马丁堂最初设计方案采取砖石钢骨混凝土混合结构,它的兴建标志着中国钢筋混凝土技术的开始,可见我们几乎是与西欧同时起步的。但这种“新技术”导入我国后,立刻被更新的技术——钢筋混凝土混合结构建筑的导入取代。马丁堂平面为“殖民地式”,立面却无此痕迹,在中国少见。 Martin Tang’s initial design plan adopted a mixed structure of masonry concrete and steel. Its construction marks the beginning of China’s reinforced concrete technology. It can be seen that we are almost at the same time starting with Western Europe. However, when this “new technology” was introduced into China, it was immediately replaced by the introduction of a newer technology, reinforced concrete mixed-structure construction. The plane of the Martin Church is a “colonial style.” The facade has no trace of this and is rare in China.
