Abstract:The rapid production, dissemination and disappearance of information in the age of social network fundamentally changed the life of university student. The fragmentation of knowledge caused by this process forms a new challenge to the traditional teaching model of architectural history. Facing this challenge, this essay argues that it is necessary to strengthen the belief in the constant and deep value of architectural thought, in contrast to the superficiality prevalent today. As to the concrete measure, this essay suggests an enhancement of the introduction and utilization of the unit ideas of western thought, a concept proposed by Arthur Lovejoy. These ideas could be incorporated into the analysis of classical works and the theories of crucial architects. This essay uses Sullivan’s famous phrase “form follows function” as an example to show how the unit idea of Aristotelian teleology could help to disclose Sullivan’s real intention. And finally, it is argued, unit ideas could contribute to the clarification of history, increase the depth of historical teaching and as a significant instrument, counterbalance the tendency of fragmentation and superficiality.

Abstract:In the early stage of modern China, a number of Chinese students went to American schools to pursue architectural education from the 1920s through 1940s. During that time, diversified teaching ideas and methods co-existed in various schools. They influenced those students from different aspects. After the students returned to their homeland, they established architectural schools and adopted the methods they were taught overseas. The American education system therefore produced a profound effect upon the Chinese system. This paper is intended to explore the history of architectural education in America, as well as establish an overview of it during that period, aiming to set a foundation for the further studies of its influences on China.

Abstract:The paper deals with some thoughts about the evolution of modern conservation policies in an attempt to answer the question - What is modern conservation. In the first part, entitled the Recognition of heritage, through the Theory of Restoration by Cesare Brandi and some of the international documents in the matter, the author indicates how the international conservation doctrine proposes to offer guiding principles that should be applicable in the different cultures. He concludes that modern conservation is necessarily based on the application of certain universal principles and on the recognition of the specific heritage significance at the local level. The second part of paper deals with issue of Values and significances with special emphasis on Outstanding Universal Value as the condition for the inscription on the World Heritage List. The third part of the paper provides an answer to the complex question - what is Modern conservation and claims that it refers to the policies and strategies of conservation and development of heritage sites that characterize the present-day heritage attitudes of the society. Some innovative moments in the process of the conservation of cultural heritage during the second half of the 20th century are pointed out and as a conclusion it is stated that modern conservation is infieri, i.e. in the course of execution. The challenge, on behalf of the international community, is to make sure that the doctrinal texts and principles are truly universal and capable of being applied in the local contexts. At the same time, it is the responsibility of each place and local community to recognize the specificity of its heritage, and to understand how this should make part of the integrated conservation within the culturally and environmentally sustainable development, avoiding the symptoms and misguided illusions offered by globalization.

Abstract:For architects, space is generally the major concern in design practice. To build desired space, multiple approaches including models, perspective and section sketches are applied in a thoughtful designing process. However, the Olympic Archery Range by the Spanish architect Enric Miralles is an exception in which traditional methods seem to be less useful in terms of reading the design process and result. This thesis tries to unfold Miralles’s approaches.

Abstract:hospital buildings are considered in the sense of the linkages interweaving inside and outside .With the metaphor of interventional therapy which is a medical concept, “intervention” is used to review the changes of these linkages in hospital updating as a new epistemology. Update activities “intervene” in five aspects of linkages including urban, space, behavior, functions and time, for the space-time continuous integrity of hospital building. In addition, as a update method, “intervene” based on how hospital functions link to urban and with each other, redefine these relations through coordinating urban pattern, organizing flow lines, integrating function, teasing space structure and timing construction. As a result, upgrading the overall hospital system is accomplished.

Abstract:Hospital buildings are studied in the perspective of internal and external linkages. With the metaphor of interventional therapy which is a medical concept, intervention is taken as a new epistemologyto review the changes of these linkages in hospital renewal. Renewal activities ‘intervene’ in five aspects including urban, space, behavior, functions and time linkages, in this way it can constitute continuous integrity of hospital building in terms of space and time. In addition, as a renewal method, based on the relationships between hospital and the city or other functions, ‘intervention’ redefine these relations through coordinating urban pattern, organizing flow lines, integrating functions, teasing space structure and timing construction. As a result, upgrading the overall hospital system is accomplished.
