How to be a good architect and seek answers?

Zonghe can't just design through theory, but practice this design. Gong Shukai, the head of Hong Kong Gong Shukai Architectural Office Co., Ltd., believes that it is not a terrible thing to be in line with international standards, but how to face this problem and how to overcome it. For example, in foreign countries, the work of architects is very comprehensive. In addition to designing construction drawings, he also participates in project management and construction management, which is particularly important. To be an excellent architect, we should not only design by theory, but also practice design. Then, to practice this design, we must understand the construction method.

In fact, China architects are no worse than foreign architects in wisdom, ability and other aspects. The only problem is that we may not have as much experience as them. They have accumulated experience after a period of development, but we don't have a very comprehensive experience. At this stage, we really have a lot to learn from good foreign architects. They have three characteristics: first, they study science and technology; Second, environmental protection research; The third is culture. It is impossible for foreign architects to know more about culture than we do when building in China. In this respect, we have a foundation that they can't reach, and it is not difficult to keep pace with them. Since we can develop in parallel with them, the next step is not a problem. There are so many places in China that need to be developed, so many cities need to be developed, and there is too much room for development. We open the market, and when they come in, we can compete. After a while, people will feel that there are so many things abroad because we have been improved. Competition plays a positive role in the development of architectural design. Wei Wu, the chief representative of German GMP International Architectural Design Co., Ltd., believes that the phrase "the way for architectural design industry to survive in international competition" is not only put forward for China design enterprises, but also a very serious problem for GMP. GMP was a very localized design company six years ago, and its design business was in Germany. It tried to go to Algeria and Pyongyang, but it was eventually returned. During the period from 1989 to 2000, Germany opened its own door and let architects from all over the world design in Germany. At this time, GMP founders also have concerns. But later, I felt that this kind of healthy competition between peers would play a positive role in the development of architectural design, and the result was indeed true. History and culture should be integrated into architectural planning. Zhou, director of mainland business of SOM architectural design consulting company, said that he had traveled all over China in the past 65,438+03 years and felt that many cities were losing their unique styles and characteristics. Judging from his personal experience in contacting these places, he thinks that particularity and harmony are very important. Without dazzling lights and busy fisherman's wharf, San Francisco would not be San Francisco. Without the Empire State Building and taxi drivers who can't speak English, new york wouldn't be new york. A city has not only reinforced concrete, but also huge public space, not only cars coming and going, but also places where human beings live. Big cities are a combination of "rigidity" and "ancient and modern". The harmonious coexistence of these things is not only a beautiful scenery, but also a beautiful process. At present, in the process of rapid urbanization in China, the understanding of history, culture and urban nature is gradually ignored. The assimilation and homogenization in China today is a noteworthy phenomenon, and the city is losing its China characteristics. In today's China, many architects boast about their design speed. In fact, architects should boast about the uniqueness of construction projects and the suitability around them. This will be of great help to the study of our long history and cultural resources. For example, Huizhou folk houses are composed of high external walls, which are simple and bare, but the inner walls of the courtyard are decorated with a lot of wood carvings. This architectural style also embodies the concept that the owner's wealth is not exposed. Shanxi folk houses, with far-reaching high walls and no windows, are highly defensive, and rainwater flows into the yard, which is the embodiment of fat water not flowing out of the field. The form of the house shows the social class difference of the owners. In the process of modernization in China, the creative work of architects should be to integrate history and culture into architectural planning, and the building must have the original characteristics of China.
