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.
