Relationship between tradition and modern life in contemporary architecture design
Abstract
Since C hina started the reform and opened up to the outside
world. the development of the social economy and richer material
life have stimulated people's desire to pu rsue a higher standard of
living, including a better environment and spiritual life. T herefore,
a huge number of constructions were bu ilt in the country
since the middle of the 1980’s including well designed projects
and inferior quality ones. At the same time, modern civilization
effected traditional culture intensely, especially in the area of
architecture. There was a trend that buildings lacked of emotion
and context were expanding rapidly. It is always a significant
topic to think about how to create the meaningful appropriate
style architectures from the architects and scholars. the
Chinese academic circle and the theorists paid attention to
the relationships between architecture design and traditional
cultures, while studying the theories and experiences in W estern
country. S ome initiatives were introduced, such as “Neoregionalism”,
“Postmodern-formalism”, “New Rationa Lism”,
“Deconstruction” and other development patterns worldwide.
These initiatives symbolized a new beginning of the traditional
culture protection in the field of architecture design.
In the recent years, China is trying to transform economic
development mode and the speed of construction is going down
rapidly compared to the last thirty years. It is a new phase for
Chinese architecture and it is a infrequent time for Chinese
architects to slowly sum up the experience and lessons rationally
during these years. Because of the uncontrolled development,
it will be a new topic to think about how to deal the overbu ilt
buildings with the surround ings and traditions for the architects
in China.
By studying in Pecs, it is possible to investigate the track of
Hu ngarian architecture development and predict the future
trend of architecture. terefore, the author can get lessons from
international architecture design experiences and methods. The
study will help the author to develop a new comprehensive method
reflecting China's art, history and design capacity.
