The origin, the cause, the characteristics, the master s work, the value and significance of the exi

1. Emphasize tradition and historicism.

Now we can say that there are many different understandings of tradition, which has led to different styles of postmodernist architects, and by tradition we mean not only the basic characteristics of traditional architecture, but also the abstract and individualized symbols of traditional architecture. On the other hand, some Japanese architects interpret the traditional risui as something that has a special character in the national culture, so they tend to grasp it from the spirit of traditional culture. Theoretically, postmodernism has a tendency to gradually introduce historicism.

2. Respect the existing environment.

This is mainly reflected in the emphasis on the local characteristics and "context" of the building. It can be seen that postmodernism's respect for the existing environment is based on a reflection on modernist architecture. While modernism emphasizes the importance and expressiveness of a single building, postmodernism minimizes its prominence in the environment and blends in with the environment as much as possible to create a rich streetscape and even urban landscape.

But this is by no means to completely bury yourself, but to achieve a deeper attraction and express yourself. This integration with the environment is one of the best features of postmodern architecture, and this is how most architectural designs come about.

3. Radical eclecticism.

Because postmodernist architecture needs to meet the needs of all aspects at the same time, without wanting to lose the style of the era and the personality of the author, the works often show the phenomenon of patchwork of various styles. Here, postmodernism embodies a more prominent eclecticism, and this eclecticism is mainly relative to the exciting great practice of modernism. Postmodernism pursues the dual understanding of celebrities and the public, taking into account both historical style and modern style, and the eclectic style formed by it is radical and uncertain.

Architecture.

The ideological core of architecture is embodied in the so-called internationalism.

In terms of design style, it is represented by the architecture of the United States in the 40s and 60s, which is characterized by the primary ideal of functionality and the expansion of the usable space of the building, and the consideration of the environment, human environment, and aesthetics is only secondary. By the 60s, a group of young architects had emerged in Europe and the United States, and some architectural landscapes with humanistic thinking, strong decorative (and even post-baroque) and deep spatial thinking began to emerge. Architects are especially fond of expressing their memories of old civilizations, the natural world, and even dreams through architectural landscapes.

In order to challenge the limits of modernism, art and design artists have come to refer to postmodernism as a collective term for contemporary isms, such as feminism.

Multiculturalism, deconstructionism.

The element of time, **application, materialism, etc. These perspectives emphasize that there is no single, absolute answer or criterion for the creation and appreciation of artworks, that the author is emotionally detached from the finished work, and that the author, the audience, the curator (or the exhibition venue), and the environment (or phenomenon) are all participants in the work of art, so that the creation and appreciation of art become very diverse. American architect Stern.

It is proposed that postmodernist architecture has three characteristics: the use of decoration; is symbolic or metaphorical; Integrate with existing environments.

The American architect Venturi is generally considered to have truly put forward a relatively complete guiding ideology for postmodernism. Venturi's approach to maintaining tradition is to "use traditional components and introduce new components appropriately to form a unique whole" and "combine traditional components through non-traditional methods". He advocated drawing on the techniques of folk architecture, and especially appreciated the spontaneous formation of the built environment on the commercial streets of the United States.

Venturi concludes that "for the artist, innovation may mean picking and picking from what is old and existing". In fact, this is the basic creative method of postmodernist architects.

Different theorists have different ways of classifying postmodernist architecture.

Here is Robert. Stein's theory.

1: Cynical classicism.

2: Latent classicism.

3: Fundamentalist classicism.

4: Normative classicism.

5: Modern traditionalism.

Modernist architecture refers to an architectural idea that dominated the Western architectural community in the mid-twentieth century. The representative of this kind of architecture advocates that architects should get rid of the shackles of traditional architectural forms and boldly create new buildings that adapt to the conditions and requirements of industrialized society.

Therefore, it has a distinct rationalist and radical color, and is also known as modernist architecture.

In my opinion, the main reason for the emergence of modernist architecture is that more and more architects are unwilling to design in the way of classical revival, coupled with the development of industrialization, Western architects led by Gropius, Le Corbusier, Mies van der Rohe and others advocated and promoted functionalism, thus giving birth to modernist architecture.

Of course, looking at it now, many architects think that those modernist buildings of that time were too cold, rational, lacking beautiful lines, and impersonal feelings.
