Evaluate an architect and their work.

1 Limitations of traditional architectural design and aesthetic standards.

With the warning of the natural environment crisis to human beings, the limitations of traditional architectural design and evaluation standards have become apparent in the face of higher and higher requirements for human quality of life and complex ecological problems. In the face of today's complex system of architecture that transcends form and function, the traditional architectural design and evaluation criteria lack a deep understanding of the environment, ecology and nature related to architecture, which makes us fail to have a good role in the completed building and urban environment on the external system nature, so its ecological benefits are minimal, due to environmental pollution and other problems.

Architectural design from the perspective of ecology is different from traditional architectural design, which regards architecture as an artificial ecosystem, a self-organizing and self-regulating open system, and an active system with human participation and control. It focuses on the study of not simply formal problems, but the energy transfer and movement mechanism of building systems, and its goals are diverse.

2.Natural aesthetics and ecological aesthetics.

Architecture, condensing the emotions of the architect. In traditional (natural) aesthetics, it emphasizes the combination of form and function, and pays attention to visual aesthetic elements such as volume, color, proportion, scale, material and texture, as well as the psychological feeling of space. The representative and recited works are all by the hands of the masters, because they have their own unique styles, beautiful compositions, delicate proportions, and perfect combinations of spaces, all of which give people a beautiful sensory enjoyment.

Obviously, this aesthetic approach is measured by human beings, and it is beautiful for the sake of human beings. However, in reality, architecture is not only beautiful for people, it also contains its own value. Hans Saxey noted:

The beauty of an object is a sign of its own value, and of course it is given to it by our judgment. But beauty is not just a subjective thing, it predates human existence. "

In nature, the synergistic relationship and harmony between many life forms and their living environment are a kind of natural ecological beauty. "Air, water, and plants are in harmony with each other in the life-sustaining cycle, which in itself is beauty and creates beauty. "If we do not deny that the highest goal of contemporary architectural design should be to create a sustainable artificial ecosystem, then in the environment of architecture, the basic survival of human beings, we can also follow the ecological laws and the creation of beauty under the premise of processing and transformation with the help of the architect's ecological concept, superb science and technology and structural means, to create a living environment with ecological aesthetic standards.

Zhang Kaiji: The First Generation of Architectural Designers in New China He said: Architects cannot blindly pursue grandeur and greatness, and the most important thing is to facilitate the masses and seek benefits for the masses. He is responsible for his profession and does his best to make the city look better.

Zhang Kaiji designed half of the city of Beijing, and many of the buildings designed by him have long been recorded in the architectural history of New China. The History Museum of the Chinese Revolution, the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, the Tiananmen Observation Deck, the Beijing Planetarium, and the Sanlihe "Four Ministries and One Society" complex ......These buildings have long been integrated with the city of Beijing. Zhang Kaiji used heaven and earth as the background, using bricks, cement, stone, and civil engineering as materials to complete magnificent works.

These works will perpetuate his thoughts, his emotions, his wisdom, his soul, and even his life. The Museum of the History of the Chinese Revolution on the east side of the square and the viewing platform in front of Tiananmen Square are Zhang Kaiji's masterpieces. The Museum of the History of the Chinese Revolution is located in the east of Tiananmen Square, opposite the Great Hall of the People, and has a unified design style and unique characteristics.

Therefore, we should not evaluate the work of an architect from the perspective of his independent personal mind (we often evaluate a master architect in this way, does the master have a different privilege?). To evaluate a work, no matter what kind of ism, functionalism or classicism you have, you must integrate the needs of the client into the evaluation system, and see how the architect is genius or stupid to meet the needs of the client, and its value and intelligence should be reflected here. Stripping away the client, the task, to evaluate an architect's work, I think is completely misleading.

We often use the evaluation criteria of a philosopher, sculptor or even a political leader to evaluate an architect, and at the same time evaluate his works interactively, always first evaluating his ideology (philosopher), its significance to the times (politician), his unconventional and unbelievable artistic conception or his volume, light and shadow, etc. (artist), but he or she is an architect! Where is the standard of construction? For example, Mies's Farnsworth Residence, when a service person can't meet the basic requirements of his customers, why do we say it's a boutique?

A great murderer can be a legend, like Qin Shi Huang or Hitler, but we better not write about the history of architecture, this house can be written in the history of art. I gave a chef money, gave him enough money to buy raw materials for cooking, and then he used it to buy very high-quality porcelain clay, which was very perfect and very genius to fire a peerless cloisonné for me, he is indeed an excellent porcelain master, but is he a good cook? Should we worship him as a "god of food" because he is genius enough?

I think not.

Architectural BAI with originality in terms of appearance, decoration, and plagiarized design

Things, which are protected by our country's copyright law, but for the construction of buildings

The construction method is not protected, and the general elements in the appearance, decoration and design of the building belong to the scope of the public domain and are not protected by the copyright law of China. The protection of architectural works should also include architectural plans, renderings, and architectural models. However, according to the way in which works are enumerated in China's Copyright Law, these works are protected as graphic works and model works.

An architect is a person who has received professional education or training and has architectural design as his main profession. Through cooperation with the project investor (commonly referred to as Party A) and the construction party, the architect realizes the construction of the building in terms of technology, economy, function and form.

Architects generally work in specialized architectural firms or engage in related teaching and research. In the increasingly complex field of building construction, architects are increasingly playing a role in communicating between the building investor and the professional designer (e.g. M&E design, structural design, etc.) and the construction party. Architects are usually hired and accountable to building investors, not builders.

Structural designers: concerned about the safety of the structure, as well as the feasibility of structural manufacturing, as well as aesthetics, there are many old experts.

Architectural designer: There are many people who have an artistic foundation for the beauty, design and appearance of the building, usability, and the foundation.

Interior designer: the interior environment, the beauty of the space, the degree of use. There are many young people and many artists.
