Characteristics of Soviet-style residential buildings

The dignity of Soviet-style architecture lies in its existence in Suzhou gardens for thousands of years. People have been pursuing it since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The roofs with high ridges and high angles, the gatehouses with charm in the south of the Yangtze River are winding, hidden but not exposed, feeding birds and raising fish, and stacking rocks and scenery, which can be called an artistic model of garden-style layout and show the charm of Jiangnan water town culture.

Soviet-style buildings mainly face south, so that they are leeward in winter and sunny in summer. There are few residents in the north and south of the old city, so there are "South Garden" and "North Garden", and the unique double chessboard pattern in the city forms lanes parallel to the water lanes. The plane of Suzhou old houses seems simple, like quadrangles or three-dimensional courtyards, but it is actually a plane type that varies with local conditions because of lanes.

The ancient architecture culture has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, and the Soviet-style architecture is the most charming finishing touch. Supai architecture is the architectural style in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and it is the epitome of the architectural style in the north and south, and the garden layout is one of its remarkable features. Carving beams and painting buildings, unique ingenuity, overlapping mountains, step by step, garden-style Soviet architecture, can be called a model of oriental aesthetics.

Suzhou classical garden was originally a private or ancestral temple wing, which was an entertainment place beside the hall to "avoid noise", "express feelings" and "express ideas". Therefore, its garden design does not respect solemnity and greatness, but seeks quietness and exquisiteness, asymmetrical layout, flexible and fascinating planning according to local conditions. Bring the light, sound, color and climate of nature into the garden, and you can draw garden scenery in four seasons, which is naturally interesting.

Its ridge top, graceful Zouma Tower, brick-carved gatehouse, Luva window and street-crossing building are light, simple and elegant, which embodies the artistic characteristics of being clear, light, elegant and flat, and is full of the simple and quiet meaning of Jiangnan water town. The connection of various walls, the ups and downs of alleys and water lanes, and the architectural modeling of virtual and real life reflect the aesthetic feeling of people with small bridges and flowing water.

The classical gardens in China pay attention to twists and turns, but they are hidden. There must be twists and turns in the straight, and the sparseness and ups and downs are harmonious. The garden is straight to the point, clear at a glance and immersive. It has the experience of "seeing you in Suzhou, others will do their best to pillow the river" and "holding the secluded mountain in one fell swoop, actually in the city". Surrounded by it, there is a feeling that "my road twists and turns through a sheltered valley, branches and flowers, leading to a Buddhist retreat" and "a thousand voices are quiet, but the bell is ringing" There are twists and turns in direct exposure and ups and downs in relief, which makes people memorable.

In winter, the sun rises in the lee, and in midsummer, it is both a home and a scenic spot. Naturally, I will live in Suzhou when I am old. Many people in China want to own a Suzhou house as a place to relax and invite three or two friends to have tea, chat and write.

Supai brick carving is one of the typical representatives of brick carving art in southern China. The Ming Dynasty was typical and simple, but it developed and improved greatly in the Qing Dynasty, especially after Kanggan, and formed its own fine and elegant decorative style, which was known as "South Show". It is worth mentioning that most of the stone tablets of Suzhou Brick Carved Gatehouse are inscribed by celebrities. Exquisite calligraphy and elegant brick carving often complement each other, making Suzhou brick carving more bookish.
