ABSTRACT The paper draws on the architect, J. Max Bond Jr.’s architectural influences in the context of his design response to the Bolgatanga Regional Library, with the aim of advancing the idea of hybrid modernism in postcolonial Ghanaian architecture. Bond considered the Library his first independent work and the most profound. However, as an architect-academic working alongside several celebrated modernist practitioners, Bond’s Library appears to have had strong influences. Bond’s expression of modernism in the Library reflects the mediation of three cultures: the northern vernacular building culture; the principles of Western modernism; and his hybrid background as an African-American architect. His response, while much like other socio-climatic responses in late tropical practices in Ghana, also demonstrates how the architecture of the marginalised manifested in the use of concrete also constitutes a reflection of the postcolonial mediation of space.

J. Max Bond Jr. 和现代主义在加纳图书馆设计中的运用

摘要 本文借鉴了建筑师 J. Max Bond Jr. 在他对 Bolgatanga 地区图书馆的设计响应的背景下的建筑影响，目的是在后殖民加纳建筑中推进混合现代主义的理念。邦德认为图书馆是他的第一部独立作品，也是最深刻的作品。然而，作为一名与几位著名的现代主义从业者一起工作的建筑师和学者，邦德图书馆似乎产生了强大的影响。邦德在图书馆中对现代主义的表达反映了三种文化的中介：北方乡土建筑文化；西方现代主义的原则；以及他作为非裔美国建筑师的混合背景。他的反应，虽然很像加纳晚期热带实践中的其他社会气候反应，
