After Modernism: Architecture in Scotland 1975-2005

1975年以来的建筑越来越受到历史学家的关注。虽然其历史的大致轮廓似乎是众所周知的，但详细的档案研究和口述历史越来越多地使人们得以发展出更复杂的图景。一方面，这一时期见证了对20世纪50年代和60年代主导的建筑和规划方法的批判性评估，以及新方法的出现，这些方法通常更公开地归功于历史和环境。国家作为建筑赞助人的角色受到了新的政治意识形态和采购模式的挑战。随着妇女、少数群体和当地社区的贡献日益突出，越来越多的个人和组织参与到建筑环境的塑造中来。在苏格兰，有一些与该国的具体经济和社会挑战有关的特殊问题。与此同时，苏格兰在英国的地位也受到了争论和质疑。尽管如此，在这一时期，苏格兰和南部地区之间也存在着重要的连续性。该项目将对1975年至2005年间的苏格兰建筑进行详细的跨学科历史研究。这一时期引起了建筑历史学家、遗产专家和公众越来越多的兴趣，但在苏格兰，对这一时期建筑环境的研究性研究仍然很少见。这与20世纪70年代和80年代苏格兰广泛的政治和社会历史以及权力下放后的十年形成鲜明对比。该项目将探索1975年后苏格兰建筑设计和实践的关键转变，尤其是通过奖项、竞赛和建筑推广的棱镜。它将把后现代建筑文化的更广泛主题置于苏格兰20世纪后期的社会、经济和政治历史中，建立在现有的先驱但不可避免的简要概述历史的基础上（例如Miles Glendinning等人的苏格兰建筑历史（1996）或苏格兰皇家建筑师协会的苏格兰风格（2016）），以及更主观的私人实践专著和流行指南。利用一系列档案资料、当代出版物和口述历史，该项目将提供重要的新见解。该项目将涉及一系列重要的1975年后苏格兰历史环境（HES）档案收藏的新档案研究。其他公共和私人收藏也将被使用。该项目将包括实地工作，以及对建筑师和客户用户的采访。它将补充正在进行的1975年后卫生系统调查和研究项目，并可能为其实践提供信息。该项目将产生关于历史建筑环境的新知识，这可能会影响未来的遗产决策。

The architecture of the period since 1975 is attracting increasing attention from historians. Although the broad outlines of its history seem to be well-known, detailed archival research and oral history are increasingly allowing a more complex picture to be developed. On the one hand, this period saw the critical evaluation of the approaches to architecture and planning which had dominated in the 1950s and 1960s, and the emergence of new approaches, often indebted more overtly to history and context. The role of the state as architectural patron was challenged by new political ideologies and models of procurement. An ever more diverse range of individuals and organisation became involved in shaping the built environment, with the contributions of women, minority groups, and local communities becoming prominent. In Scotland, there were particular questions relating to the country's specific economic and social challenges. At the same time, Scotland's place in the UK was debated and contested. Nonetheless there were also important continuities between Scotland and its southern counterparts during this period. This project will be a detailed research-based and inter-disciplinary historical study of Scotland's architecture between 1975 and 2005. This period is of increasing interest to architectural historians, heritage professionals and the general public, but research-based studies of the built environment of this period remain rare in Scotland. This contrasts with extensive political and social histories of Scotland in the 1970s and 80s, and the post-devolution decade.The project will explore the key shifts in architectural design and practice in post-1975 Scotland, not least through the prism of awards, competitions, and architectural promotion. It will situate the broader themes of that Post-Modern architectural culture within Scotland's late-twentieth century social, economic, and political history, building upon the existing pioneering but inevitably brief overview histories (e.g. Miles Glendinning et al's A History of Scottish Architecture (1996) or the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland's Scotstyle (2016), and more subjective private practice monographs and popular guides.Using a range of archive sources, contemporary publications and oral history, the project will offer significant new insights. This project will involve new archival research in a range of significant post-1975 Historic Environment Scotland (HES) archive collections. Other public and private collections will also be used. The project will include field-work, and interviews with architects and client-users. It will complement the ongoing HES Post-1975 Survey & Research Project and may inform its practices. The project will generate new knowledge of the historic built environment, which will potentially shape future heritage decision making.
