"Anthropolization"as an Anecdote of Rebellion against ModernismSettlement Study and Design Practice around the Forum Journal
Reviewing the anthropological perspective of settlement research and"configurative"design practice published when Aldo van Eyck,the core member of Team X,acted as editor-in-chief of the Dutch architectural magazine Forum(1959-1963),this paper combines the anthropological discourse in the European academia before and after World War Ⅱ and its impact on architectural development in the 1960s and 1970s,to demonstrate how the anthropological paradigm has shaped the ideas and approaches of postwar architects'reflections and reforms of modernism,thereby launching a far-reaching humanistic architectural movement.
