How to treat modern architecture?

Modernist architecture and modernist architecture are two closely related concepts, but their contents are not completely consistent. Their descriptions of foreign languages have always been clear. For example, English uses "modernism" when addressing modernist buildings, because it is a proper noun, so it has always been capitalized; On the other hand, modern architecture is related, but its definition includes two different categories. "Modern architecture" is a concept with strong meaning of time stage, which refers to all modern architectural activities, especially the whole development stage since architecture broke away from the influence of classicism and Renaissance architecture. Time refers to the whole stage from the middle of19th century to the present. On the other hand, modernist architecture is a specific term of architectural style. It refers to the architectural style and mode of thinking established by a small group of intellectuals with democratic ideas and left-leaning tendencies in Germany, the former Soviet Union, the Netherlands and other countries at the beginning of the 20th century, which is embodied in the fact that architecture should have its clear service object-design for the poor, which is what we often call the democratic color of modern architecture.

The modern style originated from the Bauhaus School established by 19 19. Under the historical background at that time, the school emphasized breaking through the old tradition, creating new buildings, attaching importance to function and spatial organization, paying attention to the formal beauty of structural composition, being concise in modeling, opposing redundant decoration, advocating reasonable composition technology, respecting the performance of materials, paying attention to the texture and color configuration effect of materials themselves, and developing non-traditional asymmetry on the basis of functional layout. Bauhaus school attaches importance to the actual craft production and emphasizes the connection between design and industrial production.

Gropes, the founder of Bauhaus School, said: "The concept of beauty changes with the progress of thought and technology." "There is no ultimate in architecture, only constant reform." "Modern architectural technology cannot be obliterated in architectural performance, and an unprecedented image should be applied in architectural performance." Outstanding representatives include Corbusier and Vanderro.

As for how to embody modern style in interior creation, Gropes has a famous saying: "Develop new architectural forms from the aspects of the use function, new materials and structural methods of houses." Before the interior design activities. Architects give the building a style space, what we need to do is to extend its quality, and then to complete its quality expression, starting with the functional requirements of new materials and their users. If the form obeys the function, opposes the application of historical style, denies the traditional style and abandons the additional decoration of the building, it is believed that beauty lies in the proportional balance and performance in the combination of space capacity and volume.

Modern style is also called function-oriented style because it puts function first, and it is also called international style because it is popular all over the world. Because it ignores the artistry, locality and nationality of design, it is easy to lead to the same form.

What are the main differences between modern architecture and traditional architecture? 1986, philip johnson listed three items in the TV movie "New Oscillation" produced in cooperation with art critic Robert Hughes: first, new structure, including free space layout and open form; Second, because of the new structure, modern architecture has six sides, not five sides of traditional architecture; Third, functionalism. Professor Norberg Schultz, a theoretical authority, listed nine basic principles of modern architecture in his book Principles of Modern Architecture, namely:

1. Build a whole new world. Modern architecture is a revolution, not a gradual change;

2. Free plan;

3. Open form;

4. Building a house that pursues nature;

5. Democratic system;

6. A healthy city;

7. The planning concept of The New regionalism;

8. New memorial form;

9. New place.

These principles and factors reflect that scholars and architects analyze the content and form of modernism from different angles, and in essence reflect different discussion angles of the same theme. They are the main clues to discuss the content and development history of modern architecture.

Modern architecture needs to show history, feelings and people's pursuit of beauty more and more, and moves towards a new stage of decorative beauty. Indoor and outdoor decoration has developed into an important branch of the construction industry. Of course, the decoration of post-modern architecture is created on the basis of new materials, new processes and new technologies, which can no longer be compared with the decorative arts of bricks, wood and stone carvings in feudal times. Therefore, the architectural theory is absolute and relative; It is realistic and developing, and it is impossible to evaluate the quality of social activities without social background.

Simple and clear style, pure geometric composition and accurate use of materials such as glass and steel make "international" style become the fashion of the times. The Bauhaus school in Germany and the pioneers of modern architectural movement regard modern architecture as the production of industrial products, and at the same time make architectural art directly enter people's daily life.
