How to deal with the relationship between inheriting traditional architecture and striving for architectural innovation in contemporary architecture

Standing in the depths of history, combined with the characteristics of the times, correctly handle the relationship between inheritance and innovation of China's architectural forms, cultures, materials and technologies is very important for the healthy and sustainable development of China's contemporary architecture. Inheritance is the premise of innovation, innovation is the purpose of inheritance. Inheritance should be focused, selective and comparative; innovation should be combined with reality and grasp the basic points.

Rational ****existence of architectural forms

Our country has a civilization history of more than 5,000 years, the traditional architecture is unique, is a treasure in the treasure house of traditional Chinese culture, which has to make us inherit traditional architecture and strive for architectural innovation in the first place. And inheritance and play traditional architectural culture can not only stay in the form of imitation, but also to study and recognize the form of cultural thought and technical spirit, a true understanding of the essence of traditional Chinese architecture, and embodied, in order to seek the continuous development of the building.

How the traditional architectural culture can be converted into a contemporary architectural object, it is necessary to find out the contemporary factors in the form of traditional architecture and the contemporary use and expansion of materials and technology, as well as to make the form and function of the traditional architecture to achieve the fit with the contemporary life style.

China's traditional architecture has a rigorous program and a symmetrical and balanced hierarchy, from urban planning to architectural design. Each unit of traditional Chinese architecture is basically a group or multiple groups of buildings organized around a central space (courtyard). This principle has been adopted for thousands of years and has become a major way of general layout. The beauty of the form of traditional Chinese architecture is gradually formed in the process of thousands of years of historical development, we can not cut off the history, abandon the national tradition, to pursue that kind of architecture without the traditional roots of the form. But this does not mean that the designer can only stick to the rules, no personal achievements. Architectural designers skillfully use modern concepts, consciously change some of the conventional combination of relationships, to create new and exciting works, this is the design of innovation.

At the same time, the design should also be the pursuit of natural and reasonable, to avoid copying. Many cities in China are keen to engage in high-rise buildings, skyscrapers as a symbol of urban modernization, the result of all kinds of skyscrapers rise up, the effect of its view is like a bloated old lady in a swimsuit, as well as extremely uncoordinated, no sense of aesthetics can be said. This not only does not add much modern temperament for the city, but also greatly damaged the city's original features.

Today's rapid development of urban construction has brought about rapid changes in the city, but at the same time we have lost a lot of things that can never be regained - the historical lineage. For example, the streets, hutongs, pagodas, religious shrines and other urban buildings formed in the course of history have been demolished in groups, threatening the compatibility and continuity of the urban form. Respecting historical traditions is not the same as eating the past and sticking to traditions; on the contrary, consciously preserving these traditions will make the city richer in local characteristics. In fact, the "new" does not have to "break the old", the key is how to traditional and fashionable methods, to create a new architectural form of old and new **** born.

Architectural culture of the times

The ancients "unity of man and nature" philosophy, emphasizing respect for nature, adapt to nature, and the harmonious development of nature. The naturalization of the built environment and the humanization of the natural environment are the eternal theme of traditional Chinese architectural creation. This is also closely related to the current concern about environmental ecology and the emphasis on "sustainable development". Therefore, the inheritance and development of traditional architectural culture should study and research traditional Chinese culture and philosophical thinking, and will be compatible with today's times and society to carry forward the essence to guide our creation and practice.

Modern architecture should be closer to life and should be oriented to modernization, which is determined by the development direction of building a moderately prosperous society and moving towards modernization. The architecture of the new era should reflect our enterprising, bold and innovative, and strive to build a modernized and powerful country of the spirit of the Chinese nation.

The continuous development of building materials

The building materials also affect the performance characteristics of the building. Ancient architecture according to the use of different materials and the formation of China's unique wooden structure as the core of the brick and wood system, showing its uniqueness. Ancient people in the use of wood and grasp on the increasingly mature, each component has been repeatedly carved, so that the realm of the gods. The roof is sloped because the technical conditions at that time could not solve the drainage system or could not imagine a better way to form, and has been passed down. The base of the platform is mainly made of stone, which utilizes the compressive and load-bearing properties of the material. And nowadays, the construction with steel and concrete as the main materials is a great progress in terms of sturdiness, practicality and aesthetics.

The use of materials is the external manifestation of the building. We should learn from the ancients, to grasp the characteristics of the material, give full play to the strengths of the building materials, only grasp the characteristics of the material, can be used freely. For example, where possible, we can absorb the advantages of vernacular architecture of local materials, and try to use the collection and transportation of materials as raw materials and decorative elements to build and create the environment. Should make full use of the local geographical conditions, transportation conditions and climatic factors to complete the practical function of the building, and thus reduce the waste of resources, as far as possible to achieve environmental protection, energy saving, land saving, material saving, water saving and recycling and sustainable development.

With the arrival of economic globalization and knowledge-based economy, people on environmental protection, the rational use of resources and put forward higher requirements to improve the quality and grade of buildings, accelerate the research, development and promotion of the application of new building materials has become a knowledgeable people's **** knowledge.

Rapidly changing construction technology

Ancient construction due to the economic situation, science and technology constraints, mechanical equipment is simple, mainly by hand, building function, structure, form a single. Modern construction projects are large, complex structure, construction continues to be high-intensity, high difficulty, network technology, concrete pouring and a series of technologies came into being.

With the continuous improvement of China's modernization, the contradiction between the rapidly increasing urban population and its limited per capita resource possession will also become increasingly prominent. Therefore, contemporary architecture must maximize the pursuit of the optimal combination of building function, external form, economic benefits, and the development of building energy efficiency and green building is the inevitable direction, green building is the innovation and development of traditional building values and technology and technology, which makes the building in the production of manufacturing, planning and design, construction, operation and maintenance of the concepts and methods of qualitative change, thus promoting and leading the innovation of the entire construction industry technology system. It has led the innovation and development of the whole technical system of the construction industry. The research and development of basic and **** key technologies and equipments for green building integrating land-saving, energy-saving, water-saving, material-saving and ecological environmental protection will greatly promote the innovation and development of modern building technology itself. With the green building form of sustainable structural design theory is a new research direction to heat preservation and energy saving, reduce the weight of the building, modular components, recycled materials, ecological use of new building components, conducive to fast and clean construction, the existing building of the reinforcement of the reconstruction of new structural systems for the purpose of the innovation of today's building technology are also the focus of the building.

In the inheritance and innovation of architecture, we can not deliberately imitate the form and characteristics of ancient architecture, not to mention copying ancient works, but should be in-depth discussion of the ancients on the ideology, ethical understanding, standing in the depths of history to interpret the deeper meaning of the ancient architecture reflected in the dregs, to discard the dregs, the essence of the essence of the ancient architecture to the contemporary architectural concepts. On the basis of inheritance, from the inner thought to the outer technology, in-depth research and innovation of contemporary architecture should be reflected in the content, which is the future of the building rich in the characteristics of the times, only through the comparison and reference, in order to fulfill the inheritance and innovation of the historical mission, to help us work harder for the development of contemporary architectural culture to make its own contribution.
