Why did the architecture of modern China lose the traditional cultural elements of China?

China's traditional architectural elements are not suitable for today's social development, rather than being ignored, because China is a populous country, and solving the housing problem has always been a very urgent problem. In the rapid urbanization in the past, China people had to solve the housing problem first, not where to live, so it is understandable to ignore the traditional cultural and architectural elements in China. Western architecture can complete a building with the fastest speed and the simplest materials and structures, and rarely reflects the expression of architectural aesthetics. Therefore, no matter which country is in the stage of rapid development,

Traditional architecture in China is represented by gardens. No matter whether it is the royal garden or the gentry garden, the architectural aesthetics of scattered mountains and pavilions are everywhere. It takes a long time and energy to use a lot of wood and stone to complete the building, and the wood is easily burned by fire, so that the ancient buildings in China that have been passed down to this day are very rare, and most of them are maintained in the original state by modern repair. Therefore, the modern architecture in China does not ignore the traditional elements, but is not suitable for the current architectural development.

With the gradual solution of the housing problem, people began to pursue a higher level of housing demand, which requires the integration of architectural aesthetics, and the traditional architectural elements in China can just meet the needs of architectural aesthetics.

Therefore, the future development of modern architecture will pay more attention to the integration with traditional architectural elements, adopt new materials and construction concepts, and build buildings with more quality and aesthetic feeling and unique China characteristics.
