The Development Direction of China Architecture

Modern Chinese architectural art is a tortuous and sad music with the disintegration of feudal society and the introduction of western architecture. Its development is directly related to the social system, mode of production, lifestyle and aesthetic taste at various stages. The main manifestations are as follows: ① Traditional architecture still dominates in quantity, but the architectural style and some artistic techniques have changed due to the emergence of new aesthetic tastes. (2) Modern industrial production and new social life dominated by public activities have produced new architectural types. (3) New materials, new structures and new processes also need corresponding new forms. (4) The abolition of feudal hierarchy and the change of social system have fundamentally shaken many important aesthetic values on which traditional architectural art depends, and the social function of architectural art has changed, which requires the creation of new forms that can reflect new aesthetic values and adapt to new social functions. ⑤ There are new contradictions among traditional aesthetic psychology, new aesthetic value and new social function. Whether and how to embody traditional forms in new buildings has become the core issue of modern architectural aesthetics and artistic creation. /kloc-from the end of 0/9 to the beginning of the 20th century, foreign-style storefronts, foreign schools, foreign theaters, and urban alleys were all in the form of the so-called combination of Chinese and Western. In the future, it will directly adopt the more popular forms in the west; After the 1980s, the pursuit of local flavor has emerged, which is consistent with the aesthetic taste of the contemporary public. However, after the creation of national forms in the 1920s and 1930s, most of them also adopted the official architectural style of a certain period in ancient times (mainly in the Qing Dynasty), making the national architectural forms in Guangzhou not much different from those in Beijing. Only after the 1980s did we pay more attention to local characteristics, that is, the so-called local architectural style.

After the 1980s, the construction of emerging towns paid more attention to the value of group art. Satellite towns and residential quarters in big cities such as Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shanghai, Tianjin and Beijing, as well as many famous historical and cultural cities, all had outstanding personality characteristics and artistic expression. Especially after China's reform and opening up and China's accession to the World Trade Organization, our urban environment and architectural groups have become more open. The rapid change of modern urban functions has fundamentally affected the traditional environmental art. The original group sequential art and environmental scale are far from being able to adapt to the new functions, and a brand-new group art has emerged. First of all, different cities and neighborhoods have different requirements for openness and publicity, different groups, different personalities and styles, and their artistic images are very distinctive, such as the embassy district in Beijing, the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macao, the financial and commercial districts and high-grade residential districts in Shanghai, Tianjin and Guangzhou, and the new commercial districts in major cities. Secondly, with the input of modern urban planning theory, the art of group composition of cities and blocks has also been introduced, which has made some cities and blocks appear new styles. The style of the times changes rapidly. From the middle of19th century to the present, the architectural style has changed rapidly, far exceeding that of ancient times. At the same time, there are both general types that develop in parallel with western architectural styles and special types that are restricted by local social culture in China. Judging from the artistic features, the latter undoubtedly has more typical aesthetic value, that is to say, whether and how new content, old form and Chinese and foreign architectural forms can be combined has always been the main line of modern architectural style changes. Seeking the way of combining the style of the times with the national style has always been the theme of architectural art creation. 2 1 century, the architecture of our town is going through a new stage of development, and the hosting of China 2008 Olympic Games has also promoted the development of China architecture! The construction of a series of large-scale stadiums, luxury hotels, high-level urban green sculptures and other artistic facilities is reflecting the significance of China as a world power! ! In a word, the architecture in China, which is in the initial stage of modern transformation, is a transitional period in the history of China's architectural development, where the Chinese and the West meet and the old and the new are replaced. There are not only the rapid transformation of new urban areas and buildings, but also the delayed transformation of local old buildings. It is not only intertwined with the cultural collision between Chinese and western architecture, but also experienced the historical overlap of modern architecture. The space-time relationship related to it is complex. Most modern buildings have been preserved to this day and become an important part of today's urban architecture. It has a great influence on the urban life and architectural activities in contemporary China.
