Beijing Memories 北京记录 - 9

清陆军部西侧楼,杰出的工程师沈琪设计。西洋楼式,但仍使用的青砖和传统的砖雕。
西方建筑的引入,从纯粹西方设计西式风格的天主堂,发展到本土设计的陆军部。学来了大体的外观,细节、方法却是自己的。这就是当年我们学习西方的方法。
另:按照赖德霖先生的考证,沈琪更重要的贡献在与交通方面,特别是铁路的营建。

This is the west wing building of the Ministry of Army, Qing Dynasty. The designer is Shen Qi, an outstanding engineer. It is in the victorian style, but builded with traditional blue bricks with carvings.
The western buildings from the church to this, the designer changed from foreigner to Chinese. This is the way we used to study.
P.S. According to Mr. Lai Desen's research Mr. Shen made important progress in transportation, esp. railways.
