Jiageng building why the combination of Chinese roofs and Western-style body?

Jiageng building is a famous overseas Chinese leader Chen Jiageng in his hometown of Xiamen investment, founded and personally planned the completion of a number of unique style of Chinese and Western architecture, this type of building to the Chinese style, supplemented by the combination of Western style. For the Jiaxing building to Chinese roofs and Western-style roof body combination of construction, my opinion is: first of all, Mr. Chen Jiageng's patriotic sentiment embodied, in fact, it is Mr. Chen Jiageng life overseas experience, the last point is that the original design is more striking.

One, strong nostalgia, nostalgia embodied in the building

After the completion of Mr. Chen Jiageng's design, Professor Chen Congzhou, who is also an architect, pointed out that Mr. Chen Jiageng to create this architectural style is the main idea of nostalgia, national thinking, that is, a strong affection for their hometowns, the country of the endless lovesickness. And this idea is also reflected through his finalized buildings. One of the prominent representatives is Xiamen University, Mr. Chen Jiageng in order to maintain the independence of the Han Chinese spirit, so that future generations will remember, in the form of the building will be higher than the Chinese roof of the Western-style wall.

Second, combined with foreign architectural features unique

Jiageng style architecture reflects the fusion of Chinese and Western architectural culture, with a unique architectural form and spatial features. Mr. Chen Jiageng was not only by the traditional Chinese culture, and because of his many years of overseas Chinese life influence, he also absorbed the Western architectural aesthetics. In the construction process will be the Nanyang western architectural forms and local architectural forms fusion, reflecting the diversity of contradictions but also to maintain the unity of the idea of focusing on the fusion of Chinese and Western and highlight the local characteristics. The building has a Western-style body, in its spatial structure, focusing on coordination with the environment, so that the building has Chinese characteristics without losing its personality.

Three, with the times of the pioneering spirit

He always adheres to the noble spirit of innovation and change at the time of the building, will be the West of the South Seas and local architectural forms of Western architectural forms of integration, Chinese and Western architectural cultures collide with each other, but also each other. For example, Xiamen University's Qunxian Building Group, Jiannan Building Group, which are characterized by the following? A main four from? The group structure, that is, the main building as the center, the other four buildings are symmetrically presented from the building along both sides? A word type? The main building is mainly in Chinese style, and the other buildings are mainly in western style. Each building is to follow the principle of local conditions, the use of Minnan-style roof, Western-style roof to the building.
