City Architectural Aesthetics Reading Notes

This book is based on literary talents. The author tan yuanheng has learned a wide range of topics and is unique in architectural aesthetics. The content and style of this book are random, fluent, and easy-to-use. As the author said, the book focuses on the spark of thinking rather than the system. For the sake of kaobo, it is a blessing to accidentally read this book. Therefore, some content is excerpted and thought:

If the history of the text can be tampered with and suspected, the only remaining messenger is the history of the building and the history recorded by the building.

 

Building is life-oriented, smart, and devoted to human emotions and consciousness.

 

The Massachusetts Institute of humanities was created by an architect.

 

Building is the history of solidified music. Architecture is first of all an art.

 

The functional and cultural aesthetics of a building are not in conflict. Building is both a science and an art. It requires both rationality and passion.

 

Poetic habitat.

 

Adapting to local conditions is always the principle that must be followed by buildings and landscapes.

 

Reading architecture can read the culture and history of a nation and deeply understand its values and aesthetics. We respect Germany's solemn solemnity and appreciate France's romance. We like the freedom of Italians. This is the personality of their nation and their architectural personality.

 

German buildings bring their functions to the extreme, rigorous, reasonable, fine, and superior. This is the beauty of their functions. All spaces are fully utilized and artistic. Functional beauty is the main line of German architecture.

 

Cage heaven and earth in shape, drop everything in the pen end. Harmony between heaven and earth.

 

Modern science and technology solves the mechanical and material problems in the building, making the artistic characteristics of the building more and more prominent.

 

A good building begins without knowing where art ends or where it begins.

 

Classical Western architecture attaches great importance to the use of vertical lines. The classic architecture is a golike architecture. Its top is to express closeness to the skyline, that is, to express closeness to God, vertical lines give people the feeling of higher.

 

In the east, parallel lines have their own unique architectural context. Unlike the "individual" of Western buildings, China focuses on the group of buildings. famous buildings are associated with associated buildings. As a group, parallel lines are indispensable, the tension presented by it is really needed by the combination of groups. This is not only related to groups, but also to the Chinese people's ethics. Parallel lines give people a sense of majesty, and a heavy roof gives people the pressure of authority.

 

Chinese gardens do not look as symmetrical, balanced, and geometric patterns as they do in the West. Instead, they use extremely rich curves, including garden walls, trails, and pavilions.

 

The use of modern buildings for curves is becoming more and more colorful.

 

Today, deconstruct is prevalent, meaning is eliminated, and planes are lost. The so-called idealistic humanitarian professionalism does not exist, and the rest is just "Images". This is very sad, it is regarded as only scientific and logical technology, but it has become the art of creation. The high-tech school enters the Art Hall in this way. His means (technology) are regarded as the purpose (ART), playing skills and structure, the deliberate expression of the external form is irrelevant to the practicality of the building. It is only for the "image.

 

It is advantageous, And it is useless. For buildings, it is also the ultimate principle. They are building entities, but they are not building spaces. They are mutually dependent and mutually constrained to form an integrated system.

 

The foreign division is made, and the source is the heart.

 

Architecture is a space art.

 

Chinese classical gardens are just unordered on the surface, and are full of the old village ideas. The harmony between Heaven and Man is a kind of hidden harmony. This is beyond the reach of Western capitalism. The secret Palace embodies the orthodox concept of Confucianism, while the building of gardens is the mysterious conception of Taoism.

 

Nowadays, due to quick success, the same houses and buildings are everywhere. Many buildings have to imitate the style of buildings, which are the same and different from local cultural traditions.

 

In Chinese gardens, the northern gardens are royal gardens, magnificent and magnificent. They have the air of emperors and the south of the Yangtze River. They are private gardens, elegant and elegant, and have a taste of books, as well as Lingnan gardens, sophisticated layout, profound and broad. Chinese gardens pursue concealment and harmony. At first glance, they look at disorder, while reading them in detail is an infinite artistic conception.

 

Western gardens are well-organized, symmetrical, uniform, and harmonious. The layout is very standard. They form a geometric diagram, almost a pattern. They are symmetric and beautiful, with rules. Western gardens are well aware and balanced, and pray for the peace of mind in the opening of vision, which does not make people feel nervous and inactive.

 

The way of thinking in Chinese is image and intuitive, while that in English is logical.

 

Bauhaus style: Concise and unpretentious

 

Post-Modern Architecture Uses irrationality as the theoretical support point, exaggerating the position and role of human intuition, unconscious, instinct, and other irrational elements in the building. He pursues himself, expresses himself, and emphasizes the personal sentiment of the building, ignoring the material and social constraints of buildings. It has abandoned the harmonious and unified classical aesthetic law, and, with the help of deconstruct and other aesthetic ideas, has mixed irrational emotional factors in the building, the pursuit of conflicting, broken, ambiguous, complex, weird, extremely novel, and emotional aesthetic effects gives people an unstable, irregular, disordered, oppressed, nervous, anxious, and horrible aesthetic feeling.

 

Taoist aesthetics changes from rational harmony to emotional harmony.

 

The kind of "Glass houses" in Guangzhou is very inappropriate. Architects have moved the European and American styles. The glass houses are designed for lighting and sunshine, but the actual situation in Guangzhou shows that, this kind of building will make the house temperature too high, the light is too strong. The same is true for afforestation. Each place has its own characteristics and requirements. Dalian is a temperate area, suitable for lawns, while Guangzhou is better for shade.

The building of Lingnan Hakka surrounding area has its own characteristics, and "The History of cultural memory is fixed ".

 

The pompidu Art and Culture Center contains a record of the Post-modern age,

 

Hakka houses are one of the five most popular residential buildings in China and one of the most attractive architectural styles in plastic art. The appearance is chic, and Qiwei is spectacular. The internal force is also unique. It can have circles and circles in the circle, reflecting the imagination and creativity of the Hakka people, it reflects the understanding of nature, society, and life of the Hakka people. It is a personalized embodiment of the guest's family. The circle's culture, philosophy, and wisdom contain an endless universe: the mysteries of heaven and earth, the Spring and Autumn dynasties, daily and monthly exchanges, and the reincarnation of life and death. Both the Central Plains ethnic group and the marine culture are open and inclusive.

 

The glass curtain wall not only has the practical functions of heat insulation and lighting, but also produces a variety of artistic effects. From the outside, it is not transparent and serves as a wall. From the inside out, the scenery outside the building is blended with the interior, and the space has never been cut, making people feel open.

 

The membrane structure is light and bright.

 

However, the application of these new materials must be consistent with the local cultural and cultural traditions and natural environment, so they cannot be fashionable.

 

Architects need to express their emotions in design.

 

Architectural style and building materials are related and should not be abused.

 

Building is the most reliable historical record. It is an epic written by stone. From this history, we can read real historical information, lifestyle and ideal pursuits of generations, social composition and economic structure, artistic interests and values.

 

China's residential buildings include the combination of the philosophical ideology of Heaven and Man, and the environment of nature. They live in harmony and reach a very high level.

 

Most of the world's famous buildings have won the fame and position of history because of their new ideas. Wu Zhong said that his Sydney Opera House was a "Opening orange". Bei Xiaoming said that his Hong Kong silver tower was "a high sesame Flower Festival", while the Louvre renovation project was "a glass pyramid ".

 

Creativity refers to the distinction between the Mastiff and the architect.

 

Four famous buildings in China: Huang Helou, Teng wangge, Yue yanglou, and zhenwuge.

 

Bank of China building: triangle is the main language of the building. It is composed of a descending triangle and a beautiful future. BEI Yuming is the magician playing the triangle in the building.

 

Garii, the masterpiece of the gugenheim Museum, developed from the early attention to materials and the confrontation and combination of Multi-diagonal geometric shapes to the smoother and more curved worm-like building system in the later stage. The gugenheim Museum is the masterpiece of Garie's curve building. That is, adapting to the city has a strong vitality. It does not provide continuous and clear logic, but more direct "Time and Space" similar to imagination and fantasies ".

 

Cultural products cannot have no idea.

 

Gaudi's masterpiece: the Cathedral of the Holy Family, he pushed the development of architectural crafts to the extreme, he is skillful in the use of various curves. The cathedral of the Holy Family is influenced by the new Gothic style. The opposite of the Cathedral is novel and unique. The outer surface of the building is full of vitality and mutual penetration, reflecting the profound understanding of the building as an organic structure, it represents the potential growth and evolution characteristics of nature. It represents the meaning of "Growth" in the building.

 

Vertical Lines mean lofty, parallel lines mean open, and curves inspire people's rich imagination.

 

The interpretation of architectural metaphor is wise.

 

Architecture is an epic, And it describes human nature.

 

Western buildings focus on individual structures, while Eastern buildings focus on the group atmosphere.

 

Architecture cannot be separated from practical requirements. Therefore, architecture has unique aesthetic characteristics different from music, art, sculpture, and other art types. It is also the art that buildings become closest to people and coexist with everyone.

 

Building is a static visual expression of space.

 

Building is a space art that separates and marks spaces. Space consciousness is the top priority of architecture. If architects lack space consciousness, they can only be masons. On the one hand, space awareness includes building space, and on the other hand, building must be incorporated into the space environment of the whole city.

 

The essence of architecture is to meet the requirements of human use. The limitations of practical functions on aesthetic value make most buildings not called art. Architectural Art is embodied in commemorative buildings, gardens, religion, and other buildings. Because these buildings are free from practical requirements and serve more people's spiritual life, aesthetic factors play a decisive role, thus it has aesthetic value and artistic characteristics.

 

Architectural Aesthetics has three levels:

The first is the building itself, that is, the shape of the building itself,

The second layer is the perspective of the building space, that is, the environment.

The third layer is the emergence of artistic conception, that is, the process of virtual reality.

 

The comprehension of the East cannot be equal to that of the West. The comprehension of the East is an artistic conception, and the deconstruct is nothing at the end. The Artistic Conception created by the building is the charm and aura of the building.

 

The Influence of architectural art on people cannot be underestimated. They force people to accept the influence of the spiritual content they embody in a huge volume.

 

Before planning a city, you must thoroughly understand the culture, environment, and situation of the city. Don't be greedy for anything.

 

City buildings must reflect the spiritual temperament of the city-the spiritual temperament of the city's age. This kind of spiritual temperament is personal, and there is no city without personality.

 

It is necessary to create urban spaces with rich life and rich emotions, that is, integrating with the natural environment and focusing on historical positioning and cultural connotation.

 

Western gardens focus on rules, that is, regular, symmetric, balanced, and ubiquitous three-dimensional and plane ry. Because the historical tradition of Western Aesthetics originated from the "Mathematical Emy", that is, buildings obey the mathematical principle, and the truth of science and the beauty of gardens are integrated.

 

Chinese gardens focus on Heaven and Man, and harmony with nature.

 

We need to inherit and spread our Aesthetic Traditions.

 

Urban Buildings in ancient China were very ethical. Both urban buildings and the palace emphasize the deliberate construction of the central axis to show the imperial power and majesty.

 

Lingnan architecture features:

1. Ecological Community: shows obvious ecological and cultural characteristics

3. Commercial colors: commercial civilization, lack of symbols of Political Culture

4. Compatibility

 

Lingnan building:

Delta and plain -- the bamboo houses in Guangfu and the big houses in the West Guan region compromise Chinese and Western, business characteristics, three major doors, practical, and aesthetic

Coastal zone -- a Chinese-Western Union
