南京原外交部办公处建筑设计过程中,“基泰”失利与“华盖”成功的主要原因与设计费分歧有关,有着复杂的经济利益背景。本文借助翔实的原始档案材料分析、归纳,重新解释了事情的原委。指出长期以来建筑学术界存在着双重误导,忽视或隐去建筑活动中经济利益等其他因素的研究,从而导致关于建筑历史的一些误会;中国目前建筑设计、教育和研究状况之不足在很大程度上与此类误会有关。 During the architectural design process of the office of the former Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Nanjing, the main reasons for the success of “Kietai’s failure” and “Hua Gai’s” were related to the disagreement of design fees, and they had complex economic interests. This article relies on analysis and summarization of informative original archival materials to re-explain the origin of the matter. It points out that there has been a long history of double misleading construction and academia, ignoring or concealing the study of other factors such as economic benefits in construction activities, which has led to some misunderstandings about the history of architecture; the current state of architectural design, education, and research in China is largely inadequacy. It is related to such misunderstandings.
