Our search for cohesion can sometimes prevent a very open and inclusive exchange of individual research. In considering the papers in this current Open Issue, we have not sought to elicit links by subject, geography, or historical period. This does not mean that overlaps, convergences, or oppositions will not be read into the set of papers, but these are made more by the readers, their interest, and their manner of browsing through each issue as it arrives in the letterbox or on the desk. An “openness” to read about fields outside of our own research scope is possibly rare as each of us confront the instrumental research era and its monitoring institutional bureaucracies. But perhaps reading widely is also a forgotten pleasure. This set of papers is geographically open, covering educational activities emerging in Tasmania (Stuart King and Ceridwen Owen), a chapel in Norfolk Island (Andrew Montana), an important nineteenth-century critic in Sydney (Paul Hogben), and also a paper about a building in Corviale, Italy (Hans-Christian Wilhelm) and an architect and library in Ghana (Allan Stephen Balaara, Errol Haarhoff and Alessandro Melis). Three papers focus on the Asia Pacific region and the geographical expansion to Italy and Ghana relates to research interests of the scholars in the architectural institutions of Australia and New Zealand. In this sense, the geographical scope of the research presented is interlaced and directed by each individual academic’s subject of historical research, providing another layer to the openness of the “Open Issue.” Three papers investigate subjects of the recent history and these contribute to a growing historiography of the 1960s and 1970s. The complexity and many framings of the investigation of these two decades include at EAHN 2016 (Counter Culture and Cold War Eastern Europe) and in SAHANZ 2013 (round table on Asia as theory and method, and The John Andrews Project). The cases from this historical period presented here are informed by and reconsidered through the intersection of the site, its historical moment, and the architect. Discussing Mario Fiorentino’s design for the very large structure and mass-housing complex, known as Serpentone at Corviale on the outskirts of Rome, Wilhem’s paper offers a revision of Reyner Banham’s megastructure framing, not on the division between great megastructure and routine large stuff, but through a history of how the design and the building evolved.

社论

我们对凝聚力的追求有时会阻碍个人研究的非常开放和包容的交流。在考虑本期公开期刊中的论文时，我们并未试图通过主题、地理或历史时期来引出联系。这并不意味着重叠、趋同或对立不会被读入这组论文，而是更多地由读者、他们的兴趣以及他们在每期到达信箱或刊载时浏览每一期的方式做出。桌子。阅读我们自己研究范围之外的领域的“开放性”可能很少见，因为我们每个人都面临着工具研究时代及其监督机构官僚机构。但也许广泛阅读也是一种被遗忘的乐趣。这套论文在地理上是开放的，涵盖塔斯马尼亚新兴的教育活动（Stuart King 和 Ceridwen Owen）、诺福克岛的小教堂（Andrew Montana）、悉尼的 19 世纪重要评论家（Paul Hogben），以及一篇关于意大利 Corviale 建筑的论文（Hans -Christian Wilhelm）和加纳的建筑师和图书馆（Allan Stephen Balaara、Errol Haarhoff 和 A​​lessandro Melis）。三篇论文重点关注亚太地区以及向意大利和加纳的地域扩张，涉及澳大利亚和新西兰建筑机构学者的研究兴趣。从这个意义上说，所呈现的研究的地理范围由每个学者的历史研究主题交织和指导，为“公开问题”的开放性提供了另一层。” 三篇论文研究了近代历史的主题，这些论文对 1960 年代和 1970 年代的历史编纂有所贡献。这两个十年调查的复杂性和许多框架包括 EAHN 2016（反文化和冷战东欧）和 SAHANZ 2013（亚洲作为理论和方法的圆桌会议，以及约翰安德鲁斯项目）。这里展示的这个历史时期的案例是通过场地、历史时刻和建筑师的交叉点来了解和重新考虑的。讨论 Mario Fiorentino 为位于罗马郊区的 Corviale 被称为 Serpentone 的超大型结构和大型住宅综合体的设计，Wilhem 的论文提供了 Reyner Banham 的巨型结构框架的修订版，而不是关于巨型结构和常规大型结构之间的划分，但通过设计和建筑如何演变的历史。从占屋者居住在其钢琴自由人并改造了这个空旷的中间层 FABRICATIONS 2018 开始，VOL。28，没有。3, 299–302 https://doi.org/10.1080/10331867.2018.1514945
