Evolution of the architectural form and construction of modern guildhalls in Qingdao:similar transplantation and local translation
Qingdao's modern guildhall architecture flourished at a time when Chinese and Western cultures were colliding and mingling in modern China,and continued from the Ger-man occupation to the 1930s,making it one of the most important types of public buildings in modern Qingdao.Taking typical modern guildhall buildings as the object of study,and based on an overview of the modern urban historical context in which they arose and devel-oped,this study investigated three different types of halls,i.e.,traditional Chinese guild-halls,colonial outer corridor guildhalls and Western guildhalls.Starting with the architec-tural forms and construction characteristics of various guildhalls,this study analyzed the log-ic of similar transplantation and local translation behind them,and summarized the evolution of the guildhalls in the context of the diversification of Qingdao in modern times.
