The Research of the Development of Architectural Surface

Abstract:

Architectural surface has changed very much compared with the traditional one in the past, because there are many opportunities for architects to experiment with space and form to express themselves today. What are the characteristics of traditional and modern architectural surface, why the characteristics keep changing all the time and how they are changing are all the main problems to study. In this research, based on analysis of some particular architecture, these questions get some answers to themselves. Through analyzing the relationships of these different characteristics, it is not so difficult to explain the essence of the changing about architectural surface and also make the essence understood deeply. As a result, what is the most valuable in the modern architectural surface gets clearer in the end and it is beneficial for selecting fine directions in the development of architectural surface.
