At the early stage when the People’s Republic of China was found,<br />
the Chinese architecture field has reached a peak moment in<br />
which the discussion of "National style," "Socialist new style" and a<br />
radical ideological transformation happened. Besides, the subject of<br />
“Architectural criticism” is an area that has not been fully developed or<br />
given particular attention in China. For the moment, historical research<br />
on Chinese architectural criticism is still limited to some pioneering<br />
studies, and also the number of Chinese architecture scholars whose<br />
topic is relevant to Chinese architectural criticism is minimal. In this<br />
case, this research focuses on the architectural history and criticism in<br />
the first decade after the founding of new China, that aims to undertake a<br />
first step toward the construction of a historical overview of architectural<br />
criticism in the period between 1949-1966. (From the founding of new<br />
China to the beginning of the Cultural Revolution.)<br />
After a preliminary analysis of general questions about the history<br />
of architectural criticism as well as the pilot research and selection<br />
of architectural and social publications. The research was decided to<br />
conduct mainly based on the analysis of architecture debates/articles/<br />
discourses and keywords that appeared in Architectural Journal -<br />
the authority professional architectural publication in the 1950s and<br />
People’s Daily - the mainstream social media in 1950s. Through the<br />
identification of the key themes that were considered in parallel by the<br />
two publications, this resulted in outlets to construct the knowledge<br />
framework of Chinese architectural criticism in the 1950s.<br />
