作者通过翻译N·佩夫斯纳的名著《现代设计的先驱者们》,思考了如下问题:一、关于中西比较建筑的研究应予重视;二、历史主义与反历史主义兼及关于对待传统问题;三、当前西方哲学思想及若干新概念在建筑文献中经常接触到,我们在翻译工作中必须首先研究、弄懂。 By translating N. Pefsner’s masterpiece “The Pioneers of Modern Design”, the author pondered the following questions: First, the study on comparative architecture between China and the West should pay attention; Second, historicism and anti-historicalism also deal with the traditional Problems; Third, current Western philosophical thinking and several new concepts are often exposed in the construction literature. We must first study and understand the translation work.
