项目摘要

This Network aims to bring together an international group of scholars from different disciplines (including architectural history, history, literature and music) with an interest in the cultures of Enlightenment, reform and radicalism to discuss the complex of ways in which the practice, theory and experience of architecture contributed to debates about modernity and urban experience in the decades around 1800. It will do so through lens of the life of Thomas Rickman (1776-1841), which provides a springboard for discussing many of the issues involved. His internationally influential work, 'An Attempt to Discriminate the Styles of Architecture' (Liverpool, 1817) was the first architectural 'best seller', through which the educated public were taught how to identify and discuss architectural styles. Through studying and writing about architecture, Rickman transformed his identity from depressed bankrupt exile to successful professional architect. Rickman was closely associated with reformist circles, his architectural research was informed by methods of classification learned from the natural sciences and he was a pioneer of new methods of construction, but as a successful practitioner he worked for a wide range of clients, from wealthy industrialists, to Anglican parishes, municipal corporations and Cambridge colleges. His career - and the associated buildings and archive - provides a connecting thread across this project, a springing point for addressing broader research questions and engaging the general public through a touring exhibition, website and associated workshops and walking tours devoted to his life and work. Many of today's debates about the contribution of buildings, both new and old, to societal wellbeing have their counterparts in eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century discourse and juxtaposing the two will contribute a historical dimension to discussion of modern planning and heritage policies. Through networking symposia in Liverpool and London, and research workshops with site visits to buildings in Liverpool, Bristol and Birmingham, the Network will address how, in addition to its existing role as the most prestigious public site of display, architecture became a site of social experiment, embodying decisive shifts in medical, penal and educational theory, to be tested through the impact of new building forms. These debates intertwined buildings and books in a virtual sphere but the public sphere also had a spatial dimension: the new libraries, news rooms and lecture theatres in which such debates were encountered and performed and the transformation of towns through public and private investment (actual and anticipated) through which modernity was imagined and experienced. These involved changing patterns of patronage, funding and building, contributing to the professionalisation of the architect and the emergence of general contracting. The Network aims to frame public discourse about architecture in relation to the transformation of the public sphere, both through changes in print culture and contemporary economic and social changes wrought by war, capitalisation, industrialisation and urbanisation. Through print and travel, this discourse had a global dimension and the Network will develop international connections in order to enable a globally comparative approach. Our objective is to build capacity for ongoing collaboration and future international comparative research.

该网络旨在将来自不同学科(包括建筑史、历史、文学和音乐)的对启蒙、改革和激进主义文化感兴趣的国际学者团体聚集在一起，讨论在1800年左右的几十年里，建筑的实践、理论和经验如何促成关于现代性和城市体验的辩论的复杂方式。它将通过托马斯·里克曼(Thomas Rickman，1776-1841)生平的镜头来做到这一点，这为讨论涉及的许多问题提供了一个跳板。他的具有国际影响力的作品《试图辨别建筑风格》(利物浦，1817年)是第一本建筑学的畅销书，通过这本书，受过教育的公众被教导如何识别和讨论建筑风格。通过对建筑的研究和写作，里克曼将自己的身份从沮丧、破产、流放的人转变为成功的职业建筑师。里克曼与改革派密切相关，他的建筑研究受到自然科学分类方法的启发，他是新建筑方法的先驱，但作为一名成功的实践者，他为广泛的客户工作，从富有的实业家到圣公会教区、市政公司和剑桥大学。他的职业生涯--以及相关的建筑和档案--为这个项目提供了一条连接线，为解决更广泛的研究问题并通过巡回展览、网站和相关研讨会以及致力于他的生活和工作的徒步旅行吸引公众提供了一个跳跃点。今天关于新建筑和旧建筑对社会福祉的贡献的许多辩论都与十八世纪和十九世纪初的论述相对应，将两者并列在一起将有助于讨论现代规划和遗产政策的历史层面。通过在利物浦和伦敦举行的网络研讨会，以及实地访问利物浦、布里斯托尔和伯明翰的建筑的研究讲习班，该网络将探讨建筑如何成为社会实验的场所，除了其作为最负盛名的公共展示场所的现有角色外，还体现了医学、刑罚和教育理论的决定性变化，将通过新建筑形式的影响进行测试。这些辩论将建筑物和书籍交织在一个虚拟的空间中，但公共领域也有一个空间维度：新的图书馆、新闻编辑室和演讲厅，在其中遇到和进行这种辩论，以及通过公共和私人投资(实际和预期的)改造城镇，通过这些投资想象和体验现代性。这些措施包括改变赞助、资金和建筑模式，促进建筑师的专业化和总承包的出现。该网络旨在通过印刷文化的变化以及战争、资本化、工业化和城市化带来的当代经济和社会变化，构建与公共领域转型有关的关于建筑的公共话语。通过印刷和旅行，这一论述具有全球层面，该网络将发展国际联系，以便能够采取全球比较办法。我们的目标是建设持续合作和未来国际比较研究的能力。
