Comparison between Ancient Architecture and Modern Architecture in China

0 1

Architecture is the general name of buildings and structures, and it is an artificial environment created by people to meet the needs of social life by means of material and technical means. Architecture is a continuation of culture.

02

With different materials, the ancient buildings in China are mainly made of wood, supplemented by natural or handmade materials such as earth, brick, tile, ash, sand and stone. Influenced by western countries, modern buildings in China adopt concrete frame structure. Moreover, modern materials such as steel bars and nails will be used for reinforcement in the process of modern architecture, while there are almost no materials such as nails in ancient buildings in China.

03

The manufacturing technology is different. The ancient buildings in China adopt frame structure, which consists of wooden columns and beams. The weight of the roof and eaves is transferred to the column through the beam frame, and the wall only plays the role of partition, not the structural part that bears the weight of the house.

Modern architecture in China is a house built by industry, science and technology.

The ancient buildings in China are different in structure, and they are all arranged in the form of courtyards. The layout of courtyards has a concise organic law, which consists of several single-seat buildings and some cloisters and walls surrounded by courtyards. The simple understanding is that most courtyards are connected in series, and the front and back are the same;

Modern architecture in China is a high-rise building that meets the functional requirements of modern people's production and life. The external shape of the building is simple, clear, fresh and generous, and it occupies less land.
