Analysis of the Development of Chinese Commercial Buildings

Abstract:

Based on the concept, the development characteristics of commercial buildings in different historical periods in China was summarized: before Song Dynasty, the Chinese commercial buildings mainly referred to simple stalls; after the Song Dynasty, commercial buildings developed with the appearance of restaurants, hotels and some entertainment places; in modern Chinese, commercial buildings showed the trend of westernization. So far, the variety and size of commercial buildings became more centralized and comprehensive. With the appearance of more green and intelligent buildings, the concept of sustainable development is reflected in the design of commercial buildings. The author expects the future of Chinese commercial buildings and provides some reference for the design and development of commercial building in the future.
