Bar Design —— Architectural Design with Old Industrial Style Decoration

Decorative architecture in old industrial style

Modernism of architecture is embodied in the so-called internationalist design style, which is represented by American architecture in the 1940s and 1960s. Functionality and expanding the available space of architecture are the primary ideals, while the consideration of environment, humanistic view and aesthetics is only secondary. In the 1960s, a group of young architects appeared in Europe and America, and some architectural environment views with humanistic thinking, strong decoration (even post-Baroque) and profound spatial thinking began to appear. Architects especially like to express their memories of ancient civilization, nature and dreams through architectural landscape.

At the same time, however, another group of young architects, such as norman foster and Frank Gehry, all like to highlight the metaphorical dialogue between architecture and urban space with technology. Norman foster's high-tech experiment with skyscrapers, the metaphor of HSBC, and even London's 30 st Mary's axe all have a subversive impact on the urban landscape. Frank Gehry's application of nonlinear design and the combination of high-end computer technology have influenced the current design style. (Note: Frank Gehry proposed an alternative plan for West Kowloon for Swire Group in Hong Kong in 2004. )

Old industrial style decoration and design

In order to challenge the limits of modernism, artists and designers regard postmodernism as a general term of modernism, such as feminism, multiculturalism, deconstruction, time element, media application, materialism and so on. These viewpoints emphasize that there is no single and absolute answer or standard for the creation and appreciation of artistic works, the author is emotionally divorced from the finished product, and the author, audience, curator (or exhibition hall) and environment (or phenomenon) are all participants in artistic works, thus artistic creation and appreciation become very diverse.

The new trend of aesthetic consciousness has changed modernist aesthetics.

Driven by the philosophical trend of thought and the trend of social and cultural life, postmodernism also has a new pursuit in conveying aesthetic intentions. The following will discuss the trend of postmodern aesthetics of movies in detail from three aspects. In the field of aesthetics, postmodernism tends to solve some problems of modernist aesthetics. According to john seale (1998, P99), the expression of modernist aesthetics mainly faces two problems. On the one hand, it is a failure towards ideological exhaustion; On the other hand, the aesthetic expression of modernism is gradually losing the attention and support of the mass market because it overemphasizes elegant art and lacks communication with the public outside a few elites. Faced with these problems, the aesthetic expression of movies shows three changeable characteristics in post-modernism: first, it shows a keen attitude towards the aesthetic taste and mass culture of the masses, diluting the boundary between high-end taste and mass culture to expose the hypocrisy of elegant art; Secondly, on the basis of enthusiasm, it reveals the traces of eclecticism, does not refuse (or even encourage) the mixing of different styles and artistic techniques, and forms a strategy of kneading or emphasizing juxtaposition, collage and misappropriation; Thirdly, in view of the cultural exhaustion of modernism, the postmodern expression of movies tends to downplay the emphasis on literary originality and create opportunities for parody and collage to seek new ideas in the original text.
