Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Laszlo Hudec (Laszlo Edvard Hudec, or Ladislaus Edward Hudec) can only be described as a legend. As one of the foreign architects who fled his native country of Austria-Hungary during troubled times, he ended up making his mark on more than 50 projects, including over 100 buildings during his 29-year (1918 to 1947) stay in a city far away from home. Among them, 25 projects have been listed as Shanghai's Most Historical Buildings. His signature work, the Park Hotel, is counted as national heritage. How did Hudec come to enjoy his legendary status in a foreign land, especially as he arrived with almost nothing in his pocket? Why does he continue to attract new followers even in the 21st century? For the last 14 years, Dr. Hua Xiahong has devoted herself to the study of Hudec and his architecture. The Shanghai Hudec Architecture has shown the essence of Hudec's projects, which is also one part of the essence of Shanghai's architecture. To know Hudec, is to know the history of Shanghai and the city's future. Like an encyclopaedia of architecture, his style has gone through Neo-classicism, Expressionism, Art Deco and Modernism, which not only reflects European and American influences, but also the architect's personal creativity. Hudec has left behind a lot of work that is remarkable in Shanghai's architectural history. Text in English and Chinese. AUTHORS: Hua Xiahong is a Professor of Tongji University and has a PhD in Architectural History and Theory. She is the leading researcher of Hudec's architecture in China.

It is hard to escape the pervasive influence of László Hudec's iconic work in Shanghai, especially in the Bund area and former French Concession. For the less familiar, Hudec (1893-1958) was a Hungarian-Slovak architect who lived in Shanghai from 1918 to 1945 and was responsible for some of that city's most notable structures, ranging from neo-classicism to art deco and modern styles that came to define much of Shanghai's architectural character. Most Shanghai residents would have come across his works - the Park Hotel, the Grand Theatre or Normandie Building just to name a few. Hudec also designed the homes of Shanghai's luminaries, including Sun Ke (Dr. Sun Yat-sen's only son), Shanghai tycoon D.V. Woo and Hong Kong tycoon Sir Robert Ho Tung. But anyone strolling along the northern Bund area would have seen the Christian Literature Society Building and the China Baptist Publication Building designed by Hudec. "The facades were decorated by acute-angel shaped lines, rolled upon the parapets. Hudec's simplified treatment of Gothic pointed arches and pilasters revealed the influence from Germany expressionism architecture. The twin buildings captured the maturity of Hudec's own architectural style, which had taken the lead in the Gothic Revival architectural features, using tiles as wall-coating that reflected a new style. In addition, his masterful use of brick layering during the period probably attributed to his brother, Geza, who had studied in the US for half a year and came to Shanghai to assist his brother in June of 1930." Hudec 02 Built in 1930 and completed in 1932, Hudec's architectural firm took up the eight floor of the Baptist Publication Building from 1932-47, while the Christian Literature Society was the first organization to introduce Western publications to China. The above tidbits of information are from the densely-packed Shanghai Hudec Architecture (ä æµ é è¾¾å建ç'å°å¾), a palm-sized bilingual guide to Hudec's 27 Hudec architecture buildings with 100 images as well as walking maps and blueprints of his most iconic works. Published in January this year, the book is written by Hua Xiahong, an associate professor at the College of Architecture and Urban Planning of Tongji University, and Michelle Qiao, a columnist for Shanghai Daily. Qiao has for several years written in English wonderful articles introducing Shanghai's various heritage architecture and landmarks. I was particularly pleased to note that my friend Xi Zi was the commissioned photographer for the book. His photos are far superior to what you see on this post. If you haven't already, you can read my interview with him, or pick up his beautifully photographed book Shanghai Shikumen. While the English editing can be improved, this is a very user-friendly and interactive book to guide the curious and nimble, ready to a little deeper into one of the most important architects of Shanghai. The bilingual nature of the book makes it a perfect local-expat walking excursion to better under the city. Shanghai celebrated "Year of Hudec" in 2008 to commemorate his work, and I believe this book will further raise awareness and deepen interest to Hudec's legacy in Shanghai.
