In recent years, the task of urban reconstruction has sprung up in China. When all kinds of buildings "came out", there were many strange buildings filled with cities. Some of these unexpected and absurd architectural works are called miracles, while others are ironic. There is no objection to integrating traditional elements into the architecture, but if the displayed effect forms a contrast, it is easy to make people uncomfortable. The appearance of the city is changing, and people's taste is also changing. How can the collection of overseas architectural works improve architectural aesthetics and integrate human feelings to highlight highlights? Let's take a look.

First of all, let's take a look at a "confused" transformed building. Such a pictorial building is only considered as a huge colored sculpture, and it is hard to think of it as a hotel that can accommodate people. The design inspiration comes from the three immortals believed by the people, symbolizing happiness, auspiciousness and longevity. In Taoism, they are three auspicious gods in the sky. This is the meaning of auspicious, but the effect is hard to accept. It is rated as the ugliest building in China with its well deserved strength. recommend: 10 groups of modern architectural styles, more than Bauhaus

Production of overseas architectural works

Clear design concept

This concept is the core of all architectural design exploration and practice, just like "foundation". Only when the core and design starting point are clear can the subsequent works be examined at a deeper level. Foreign art colleges generally focus on the concept of architectural design, and it takes a long time for most art college students to think about the feasibility of their own concepts.

When designing works, it is recommended to jump out of the original design thinking, expand your design vision in multiple directions, and boldly extend your creativity, so that you can easily design satisfactory works.

Taking Tadao Ando's renovation of the International Children's Library as an example, his works are carried out with the design concept of "concrete spirit". In Tadao Ando's eyes, it is better to make irreplaceable works with ordinary materials and methods than to flaunt characteristics with special materials and methods, which is a challenge to his own creativity limit.

International Children's Library

When working as a renovation project, his design concept focused on the most primitive and ordinary concrete in the building materials, combined with the blessing of geometric structure logic, and finally formed his unique and thought-provoking concrete style.

Conduct site survey in multiple directions

The site must be the emotional bearing of every architectural designer, but it also limits the implementation of architectural design ideas and design conditions. Therefore, the site survey is also the top priority of architectural design.

The limitations of the existing functions of the site restrict the design trend of the building to a certain extent, but at the same time, it also gives designers inspiration and the starting point of concept divergence, which is also the infinite possibility of architectural concepts. The architectural design must be based on the specific conditions of the site and have a selective and strategic actual landing.

　　 Small tips for site survey

Carry out research with a holistic view. It will be more comprehensive in terms of details that need to be considered such as literature query, sorting out evolution, and field visits, so that there will be no major omissions;

Deepen the impression of the site environment, help to refine the information of the site, form a certain sensitivity and imagination in the place, and not be ruthless.

Beijing Minsheng Modern Art Museum

The case of Beijing Minsheng Modern Art Museum is to transform the design of the original factory into a series of flexible exhibition spaces, retaining the industrial characteristics of the original structure.

In the process of reconstruction, the new elements of the cross geometric volume of the original site added expressive elements to the building facade, forming the entrance of the hall atrium. Aluminum alloy plates superimposed on each other are selected as cladding materials. The smooth surface of metal can make up for the rough appearance of existing industrial design.

Museum is different from residential and commercial space. In addition to the practical significance of living and attractive wonderful experience, it is also the ultimate call for art and beauty. Because of this, the design of the museum can show a more independent exterior, but it still belongs to the architecture itself. It restores the solidified art of architecture, and also awakens the contemporary people's desire to explore beauty and eternity.

Refine aesthetic elements concisely

In terms of the final presentation mode of excellent works, we should draw on or introduce some excellent aesthetic elements correctly. It will not only make the design work full of artistic sense, but also make the cold building full of human feelings.

Chinese classical architecture pays attention to color matching, and the color matching and contrast between the pink walls and black tiles in the architecture and the natural landscape; Modern new Chinese style residential projects often refine rich decorative elements in a unified way, and cancel complicated carved beams and painted buildings, which is more in line with modern aesthetic taste.

When adopting the design form of ancient buildings and traditional elements, we must fully understand the advantages and disadvantages of the building, so as to complete further design ideas on the basis of clear concepts.

Don't mix too many elements in a complicated way here. Being eager to express too many "feelings" will make people confused. Only by simplifying and refining a certain element and then developing design ideas can the work be "human".

Wuxi Taihu Show Theater

The Wuxi Rongchuang Taihu Show Theater built by CSCEC Eighth Engineering Bureau under CSCEC is inspired by Yixing Bamboo Sea, a representative scenic spot of Chinese bamboo culture. "Bamboo" is one of the four gentlemen in Chinese culture, which further demonstrates the implicit beauty of Chinese culture.

The design idea of this show was proposed by the British designer, and the specific landing plan has gathered the painstaking efforts of the Chinese personnel from the Architectural Design and Research Institute of Tongji University and the China Construction Eighth Engineering Bureau. The international honor of this project may be due to its ingenious integration of the wisdom and cultural essence of the East and the West.

No matter what style of architectural design, the most important thing is to deeply understand the essence of elements. Only after thoroughly understanding the background of this element can we have a more appropriate design idea. It is the same with any kind of expression method. Simply thinking on the element level will not have a deep level design concept, and the works presented will not make people have a good impression. recommend: Employment direction and prospect of building space

Architecture is an important cultural heritage. Today, with the continuous renewal of cities, the architectural standards that can guide the renewal of urban aesthetics are also the focus of students' learning. For the production of overseas architectural works collection, don't forget to accumulate design materials, research master's design manuscripts and finished products, and learn more about your own works.
