Bearing Capacity of the External-Prestressed Bird-Shape Plates

The architectural creation has been suspected as ostentation in some degree since the setup of theory on modernistic architectural art creation. In the controversy of miscellaneous theories, we are in face of the new challenge in the 21st century. It is an important task in the new century that how to avoid impairment on the personal initiation in face of the impact of new technology or IT. Based on the philosophy of architectural art, the situation and the characteristics of architectural creation at present were analyzed in this paper. The freedom of individual creation without restriction by any code is advocated here, which will make the thoughts of architectural creation vivid in the 21st century.     

Building Energy Efficiency Design Procedure Based on Digital Technology

Abstract:Digital design technology is crucial for building energy efficiency design, while the key of building energy efficiency design is to analyze the entire design process, dynamic balance and energy cost. Through the application of digital technology in architectural design during its earlier phases, we can analyze such factors as local climate and terrain, create a "virtual building", simulate its actual condition, and conduct a scientific quantitative analysis of the key problems in architectural design. These actions will optimize the proposed design in a timely manner and achieve energy efficient design under the guidance of scientific analysis. Meanwhile, by exploring energy efficiency design procedure based on digital technology, we can adapt to a higher standard of energy efficient design in our new times.

BIM Based on Intelligent Parametric Modeling Technology

In order to push the informationization process of the building industry,promote sustainable architectural design and enhance the competitiveness of China's building industry,the authors study BIM(Building Information Modeling) based on intelligent parametric modeling technology.BIM is a new technology in the field of computer aided architectural design,which contains not only geometric data but also the great amount of engineering data throughout the lifecycle of a building.The authors also compare BIM technology with 2D CAD technology,and demonstrate the advantages and characteristics of intelligent parametric modeling technology.BIM,which is based on intelligent parametric modeling technology,will certainly replace traditional computer aided architectural design and become a new driving force to push forward China's building industry in this Information Age.     

Material Expression of Architectural Emotion From the Perspective of Public Art

Architectural emotion, to a large extent, is reflected in the emotionalization of building materials. The exploration of the vitality and spiritual connotation of the building materials is a new direction of expressing architectural feelings. This paper explores the visual features and connotation of various building materials from the perspective of public art, with a view to understanding the characteristics of building materials and creating unique buildings with a strong character.     

Application of Fractals in Architectural Shape Design

A computer aided method for architectural shape design was developed based on the L systems algorithm, the shape grammar and the space surface equation theory. Various 3D entities such as building grounds, building walls and building domes with fractal characteristics could be generated in a short time by using the computer program. These generative 3D entities were saved in a component database which could help to accumulate design knowledge through continuous expansion. A building could successfully be formed by the designers through selecting proper building grounds, walls and domes from this database. The effectiveness of the proposed method was approved with a case study.     

Development of House Architectural Area Computing and Plotting System

The exact computing of house architectural area and apportionment of area is strongly related to the actual interests of people. If it is done manually,there are many problem such as longer time spending, more workload, requiring detailed verification, nonstandard calculating report. Using ActiveX automation and ADO techniques, the house architectural area computing and plotting system was developed under Autocad R14 environment with VB 6.0 and Access database in order to solve above problem. The developed system can automatically compute house architectural area and apportionment of area for each floor of each building and can print the related data report and drawing. The system works well in many departments of house measurement. Several key technical problem of the system are discussed.     

A RESEARCH ON THE ARCHITECTURE DESIGN AND BUILDINGS'' AIRCONDITIONING ENERGY SAVING

Taking part in the formulation of "the Standard for Chinese Hotel Air-Conditioning Energy Consumption," the authors study the thermal characteristics and carry out dynamic simulation of annual air-conditioning(heating) energy consumption of six well-known hotels located in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhon. This paper particularly analyses how the architectural design and the thermal characteristics (including building orientation, building plane, wal lstructure, window area and structure) effect air-conditioning load and air-conditioning energy consumption. Some views and suggestions on methods of architectural design are put forward, which aim to reduce energy costs, capital costs, and space requirement.     

Sustainable Development and Study on Traditional Technology

This paper calls for further study on traditional architecture and technology from the view point of sustainable development. Renewing and developing the traditional architectural technology fitting in with climate is an effective way to solve regional problem in the trend of globalization. It will also be useful for the creation of west China's architecture during the Western China Development.     

Spiritual Language of Public Art in Architectural Form

To interpret spiritual language of architectural public art, architectural form was analyzed. Visual art space is based on spatial vision, artistic forms of point, line, surface and body are major visual elements of spatial form. Visual elements can be demonstrated in various forms, and even more diversified in the context of spatial design, interact with each other according to the form principle of beauty, and construct artistic forms of the space. Manifestation of the nature of public art also relies on visual elements, and the public aesthetic experience and feelings about architectural public art are expressed by visual elements.     

Risk Identification and Risk Assessment in Architectural Programming

Through analyzing risks factor in architectural programming, the paper presents risk assessment index system, and constitutes architectural programming risk comprehensive assessment model by using the theory of fuzzy mathematics. So it can improve specialization of architectural programming and make architectural works satisfy the society, environment and economy.

THE YING AND YANG OF THE CHINESE ARCHITECTURE

The Chinese philosophical dialectical thought was in the period times of the early years. In which, the Ying and Yang was deeply influenced the Chinese culture. Architecture as a body of culture is expressed all round. According to pursure the nature environment of mountains and rivers, the architectural mass height is arranged up and down; the statics and movement is changed; the emotional is osmosed between them and they can incorporate each other. They reflect the nature, order, dynamic state, opening and incorporation of architecture themselves. This paper analyses the system of the Chinese architectural laws for develpment.
