A Brief Analysis on Technological Expression of Contemporary Architecture

Abstract:

The technological expression of contemporary architecture is developed basing on modernistic architecture. As one of the most influential architectural design methods, it is being paid more and more attention to by contemporary architects. Technological expression has made lots of changes in the design of architectural forms, space and environment. With the rapid development of science, more and more fantastic technology is being applied, which makes it beyond just a method and forms an architectural design theory itself. This paper makes some analysis on the relationship between technological expression and regional culture, ecological concept and natural environment. Since digital information technology is penetrating into architectural designing field, I hope this paper can give some inspiration to architects on their architectural study and practice.
