Abstract

In the summer of 1945, Ernö Goldfinger produced a twenty-sheet exhibition entitled ‘Planning Your Neighbourhood’ (PYN) for the Army Bureau of Current Affairs (ABCA) [1]. It shows how Goldfinger continued to promote a vision of modern architecture that had evolved in the 1930s, by adapting it to planning for postwar urban reconstruction. The reach of PYN went beyond that of a public exhibition because of its role in Army education; for the majority of its audience it wasn’t a matter of choice – the sheets were brought to them. This article examines the strategies he adopted to communicate the validity of modernism in Britain. It will show how wartime circumstances provided Goldfinger with a remarkable opportunity to present modern architecture to a mass audience.
“规划你的社区”:现代主义的策略
1945年夏天,Ernö Goldfinger为陆军时事局(ABCA)制作了一个名为“规划你的邻居”(PYN)的二十页展览[1]。它展示了金手指如何通过调整战后城市重建规划,继续推动20世纪30年代发展起来的现代建筑愿景。PYN的影响范围超出了公共展览,因为它在军队教育中的作用;对于大多数观众来说,这不是一个选择的问题——床单被送到他们面前。本文考察了他在英国传播现代主义的有效性所采取的策略。它将展示战争环境如何为金手指提供了一个向大众展示现代建筑的绝佳机会。
