• 更多关于雷恩斯福德的信息

  • Anthony Raynsford is an architectural and urban design historian, whose interdisciplinary research interests bridge across cultural, intellectual and art history, particularly 20世纪的. His teaching seeks to develop a critical understanding of the interlocking social and aesthetic issues faced by architects and designers, both currently and historically.

    Professor Raynsford's current book project is entitled, Modernism and the Archaic City: The Pre-Industrial Past in the Imagination of 20th Century Urban Design. Revising standard accounts of modernism's break with the past, he contends that preindustrial urban forms have always been central to the ideals and images of modernist urbanism. The modernist 'discovery' of the archaic city did not, as some authors have suggested, first emerge as a means of softening the edges of earlier functionalism. Rather, his book argues, this figure of the archaic city was instrumental in defining the essence 现代主义城市主义的一种. 与这个项目相关的有很多 works in progress, including a monograph on the writings of urban planner, Kevin Lynch.

    Dr. Raynsford received his PhD from the University of Chicago and his M.Arch. from UCLA. He has taught previously in the art history departments of Temple University 以及宾夕法尼亚大学. 出版物包括:“大都市的蜂群: Passenger Circulation at Grand Central Terminal and the Ideology of the Crowd Aesthetic," (Journal of Architectural Education) and "Embodying Urban Design" (in Embodied Utopias). He has presented a number of papers on the intellectual and cultural history of urban design at the conferences of such organizations as the International Planning History 协会和学院艺术协会. 他的教学兴趣包括历史 of modern architecture and urban design; the representations of the built environment in painting, film and photography; the historiography of modern art; and aesthetic 19和20世纪的理论.
