Architecture(Heqianqian)

EXHIBITION

The characteristic of these modern architectures is using gloss or different building materials, such as alloy, stainless steel, mirror glass, plastics, coatings, etc. In the 1950 s, New York Lever House Company spent a large amount of money building a glass tower. During the day, the building's glass and steel are glistening in the sun; while in the night, it’s like a beacon in the darkness, which makes people at that time pleasantly surprised. The outdoor walls of Grass Month Club in Tokyo, Japan were all built with blue mirror glass, with its beauty the reflected with sunshine and clouds and combined with the surroundings. This building greatly beautifies the city, and makes those skyscrapers dwarfed. I think the emergence of these buildings mostly is because of the intensive commercial competition, in order to highlight the advertising effectiveness. Actually, in China, there's a lot construction of western style, but my idea is to connect Chinese classical architecture with modern architecture, such as adding traditional elements dragon, phoenix and kneading sculpture art into Chinese modern architecture.

Secondly, I also found a special feature. Designers like expressing their buildings with various shapes, such as Elephant Mansion and the Lithuania building Paper Mansion. It’s like a jigsaw puzzle when put together. The in the United States .Seed Cathedral of Shanghai I have seen in the exhibition hall, is consist of 60 000 transparent optical fiber whose length is 7.5 meters. At the top of each optical fiber there is a seed which gives people a quiet space to think about the origin of plants. When looking at it, it’s like a hedgehog. These buildings are full of interests. It enlightens me that adding something interesting like them in our apartments. It might give rise to a large number of investors. Cottages built in various shapes on the prairie may become a popular attraction.

The Study Building in Nanyang Technological University also gives me a lot of inspiration. School has the flavor of city. Can our work building also be more interesting? These external conditions can make students or white-collar work better or study better. Different atmosphere and environment make people have different mood. I think these designs can greatly improve the efficiency.
