A Study on the Architecture of Art Deco in East and Southeast Asia

2000年至2002年，实地调查在21个城市进行，即北京、天津、上海、哈尔滨、沈阳、长春、大连、青岛、香港、澳门、新加坡、吉隆坡、曼谷、胡志明市、河内、金边、仰光、首尔、台北、雅加达和万隆。在那里获得的知识如下1.一座城市现存的装饰艺术风格建筑的数量与哪个国家殖民这座城市没有太大的关系。被法国殖民的城市当然有典型的装饰艺术建筑。但每个城市都有许多这种风格的建筑，现存这种风格的建筑的数量主要与城市在20世纪20年代和30年代的建筑活动水平有关。这些风格的建筑由法国、英国、荷兰、日本、中国和韩国的建筑师设计。这意味着装饰艺术风格影响了每个国家的建筑师。装饰艺术设计广泛存在于建筑师不为人所知的非名牌建筑和普通建筑中，说明装饰艺术风格并不是某个国家或城市所特有的，而是时代本身的产物。这是几个值得注意的地区，装饰艺术风格的建筑密集存在。这两位是JL·布拉加和JL。JLN胡志明市万隆东开街的亚洲非洲。然而，夸卡伦坡的团库阿卜杜勒·拉赫门、仰光的Bogyoke Aung San街、长春的新民街、天津的解放北路和曼谷的rachadamnoen Nok路都建于20世纪40年代。这些地区被认为是装饰艺术风格的中心。

Field surveys were done from 2000 to 2002 in 21cities, namely Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Haerbin, Shenyang, Changchun, Dalian, Qingdao, Hong Kong, Macao, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, Phnompenh, Yangon, Seoul, Taipei, Jakarta and Bandung. The knowkdges acquired there are as in the following.1. The quantity of the existing buildings of Art Deco style in a city is not so related to which country colonized the city. The cities colonized by France certainly have typical Art Deco buildings. But every city has many buildings of the style, and the quantity of the existing buildings of the style is principally related to the level of construction activity in the 1920s and 1930s of the city.2. These buildings of the style are designed by architects of France, Great Britain, Netherlands, Japan, China and Korea. It means mat Art Deco style influenced architects of every country. We find widely Art Deco design in non famous and ordinary buildings whose architects are unknowrt It indicates that Art Deco style is not peculiar to some specific country or city and is the product of the age itself.3. These are several remarkable districts where Art Deco style buildings exist intensively. These are Jl Braga and Jl. Asia Afrika in Bandung Dong Khoi St. in Ho Chi Minh City, Jln. Tuanku Abdul Rahmun in Kuaka Lumpur, Bogyoke Aung San St. in Yangon, Xinmin St. in Changchun, Jie Fang North Rd in Tianjin, and Rachadamnoen Nok Rd in Bangkok constructed in 1940s though. These districts are regarded as centra strico of the style Art Deco.
