Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decoration and design of doors and windows was a fixture in classical Chinese architecture. Doors and windows were symbolic curtains separating heaven and earth in traditional Chinese architecture. Opening these curtains created an all-important harmonious link between heaven and earth. The apex of classical Chinese architecture was in the Qin (221-206 B.C.) and Han periods (206 B.C.-220 A.D.), the Tang (618-906 A.D.) and Song periods (960-1127 A.D.) as well as the Ming (1368-1644 A.D.) and Qing periods (1644-1911 A.D.). With its precisely printed illustrations and concise texts in English and Chinese, this large format, extremely elegantly finished book gives the reader an opportunity to study the major creations of these periods.

Book Synopsis Parametric Design in Traditional Chinese Architecture by : Rensa Guo
Download or read book Parametric Design in Traditional Chinese Architecture written by Rensa Guo and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International style of modern architecture is called ‘universal’. In today’s global practice of architecture, architecture studios around the world take part in global architecture competitions designing buildings that look similar to one region and transplanting them to a different continent. These ‘global’ designs lack response to the culture of diverse regions and its historical civilizations. In China today, there is resistance to change while the global exchange is happening. While monolithic brutalistic towers replace indigenous villages, in Beijing, some Chinese architects attempt to rebuild old traditions of courtyard houses and hutong. In southern China, many traditional style Chinese buildings are designed and constructed. In resistance, the Chinese aesthetic is leaning towards traditional culture in the last ten years. Looking through the history of Chinese architecture. There are missing links between the old and the new architecture. Before the 1900s, there were no professional architects in China. The only one permitted to design and build a building was the carpenter. There are higher and lower level carpenters. higher level carpenters design great traditional Chinese buildings like temples and palaces working for the government and the emperor. Lower level carpenters design and build houses for civilians. All carpenters follow the standards of Building Formulas, learning from older carpenters. In the 1900s, Chinese architecture was influenced by the modernism of the western world. There was no transition in between. Chinese architecture jumped from traditional directly to modernism with no translation. Since the 1990’s new style in Chinese architecture is called Chinese modernism. It combines the space of modernism and the shape of traditional Chinese style together. The traditional Chinese style is reduced to mere decoration but is not the core of its design. (This is much like the US post Modern Period of the 65-90’ s) Now, more Chinese architects focus on the expression of the oriental philosophy in architecture. The traditional Chinese style is no longer just decoration but united with a reflection of space and environment. As Chinese architects return to not copying the past, nor decorating with the style, but addressing Chinese cultural relationships with space and the environment, a new Chinese architecture of contemporary making technologies looks to define the new Chinese future.

Book excerpt: Even in a country where outstanding achievements have become almost a commonplace, the Japanese architect, Kisho Kurokawa, appears as both a remarkable and a remarkably successful man. With buildings in the United States and Eastern and Western Europe as well as in Japan, he has established an international reputation as a leading figure amongst the younger generation of architects. At the age of forty he already had thirty-five major buildings and seventeen books to his credit; four new towns are being built to his designs; he heads a company of over a hundred employees, he runs a think-tank and an urban design bureau and for variety he has his own television programme with a regular audience of some 30 million. Behind these statistics lies a prodigious vitality expressed in original and stimulating buildings. -- from book jacket.

Download or read book The 2030 Spike written by Colin Mason and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The clock is relentlessly ticking! Our world teeters on a knife-edge between a peaceful and prosperous future for all, and a dark winter of death and destruction that threatens to smother the light of civilization. Within 30 years, in the 2030 decade, six powerful 'drivers' will converge with unprecedented force in a statistical spike that could tear humanity apart and plunge the world into a new Dark Age. Depleted fuel supplies, massive population growth, poverty, global climate change, famine, growing water shortages and international lawlessness are on a crash course with potentially catastrophic consequences. In the face of both doomsaying and denial over the state of our world, Colin Mason cuts through the rhetoric and reams of conflicting data to muster the evidence to illustrate a broad picture of the world as it is, and our possible futures. Ultimately his message is clear; we must act decisively, collectively and immediately to alter the trajectory of humanity away from catastrophe. Offering over 100 priorities for immediate action, The 2030 Spike serves as a guidebook for humanity through the treacherous minefields and wastelands ahead to a bright, peaceful and prosperous future in which all humans have the opportunity to thrive and build a better civilization. This book is powerful and essential reading for all people concerned with the future of humanity and planet earth.
