Re-thinking of blind pursuit of fanciful buildings in contemporary China

摘要

Firstly the evolution of evaluation standard of architecture was reviewed, then the ten famous buildings built in National Day of 1959 in Beijing were introduced to compare with ten contemporary Chinese ugly buildings. A reflection on the dangers and root of the present fanciful buildings was made. Finally, we suggested that an effective bottom-up path should be established to encourage the expression of local regional and cultural consciousness appeals. Meanwhile, pay more attention to the common buildings and make the knowledge of architecture get involved in people's daily life.
