Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Art - Architecture / History of Construction, grade: 1.0, Vienna University of Technology, course: Traditional Chinese Architecture and Planning, language: English, abstract: Anywhere in the world space is the core of architecture and urban planning.

In imperial China, city planning and especially the design of the capital were highly symbolic and crucial for living in harmony with the universe. A discussion. The first part of the paper is concerned with explaining how "space" has been defined in Chinese urban planning and architecture from ancient times until today. The second part of the paper is about the city, its symbolism and the importance of Chinese cities in ancient years compared to today.

Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2010 in the subject Art - Architecture / History of Construction, ( Atlantic International University ), course: Doctorate in Architecture (PhD), language: English, abstract: China is transforming in terms of economy, social, culture and physical development. Due to this, rapid urban development in China threatens the urban fabric of Chinese cities. Development has attempted to balance strong Western influences with traditional Chinese forms and has met mixed results. Although, it is already in existence of a new current of Chinese regionalism in architecture but this trend could be further improved by careful applications of the principles of architecture. This thesis presents five case studies of current Chinese completed building projects in two major urban settings; Beijing and Shanghai, designed by Western architects. Each case study is examined in each of the basic elements of architecture in relation to traditions and modern architecture. These case studies are then used as the foundation for specific recommendations for future development of contemporary Chinese architectural regionalism, in particular focusing on ways to integrate traditional or vernacular techniques, devices and forms with modern needs, modern technologies, and foreign influences in order to enhance the regional culture and built environment. There is distinction made between Beijing and Shanghai in which Beijing is more of a historic city emphasizing Chinese government, while Shanghai is more of an economic nerve of China emphasizing trade, finance and international business. Together, the two cities form the forefront of the built environment showcase of China.

The International style of modern architecture is called ‘universal’. In today’s global practice of architecture, architecture studios around the world take part in global architecture competitions designing buildings that look similar to one region and transplanting them to a different continent. These ‘global’ designs lack response to the culture of diverse regions and its historical civilizations. In China today, there is resistance to change while the global exchange is happening. While monolithic brutalistic towers replace indigenous villages, in Beijing, some Chinese architects attempt to rebuild old traditions of courtyard houses and hutong. In southern China, many traditional style Chinese buildings are designed and constructed. In resistance, the Chinese aesthetic is leaning towards traditional culture in the last ten years. Looking through the history of Chinese architecture. There are missing links between the old and the new architecture. Before the 1900s, there were no professional architects in China. The only one permitted to design and build a building was the carpenter. There are higher and lower level carpenters. higher level carpenters design great traditional Chinese buildings like temples and palaces working for the government and the emperor. Lower level carpenters design and build houses for civilians. All carpenters follow the standards of Building Formulas, learning from older carpenters. In the 1900s, Chinese architecture was influenced by the modernism of the western world. There was no transition in between. Chinese architecture jumped from traditional directly to modernism with no translation. Since the 1990’s new style in Chinese architecture is called Chinese modernism. It combines the space of modernism and the shape of traditional Chinese style together. The traditional Chinese style is reduced to mere decoration but is not the core of its design. (This is much like the US post Modern Period of the 65-90’ s) Now, more Chinese architects focus on the expression of the oriental philosophy in architecture. The traditional Chinese style is no longer just decoration but united with a reflection of space and environment. As Chinese architects return to not copying the past, nor decorating with the style, but addressing Chinese cultural relationships with space and the environment, a new Chinese architecture of contemporary making technologies looks to define the new Chinese future.
