Contradiction and Opportunity:Motivation and Influence of Importing Foreign Fabricated Building Technology into China in the 1980s
With the development of building industrialization in full swing today,the import and localization of advanced technology is an important topic.Historically,China had an important period of introducing foreign fabricated building technology in the 1980s.Understanding the historical de-velopment of this period can contribute to the current re-search and practice of advanced fabricated technology and localization paradigm.This paper reviews and discusses the basic conditions,motives,historical positioning,and subsequent development of China's introduction of foreign prefabricated technology during this stage.It interprets the collision between the introduction of technology during this period and the background of China's social produc-tivity,industrial policies and subsequent changes,as well as the contradictions and impacts of design and construc-tion technology,in order to better showcase the exploration history of China's prefabricated architecture,and provide reference for the sustainable development of current con-struction industrialization.
