Abstract: Architecture is a kind of art and the substance of architecture lies in space. Based on the change of light and shadow the plane and elevation scheme of the school history Museum was designed in detail. When the space of building is no longer drawn conclusion with the traditional entity enclosing, light gives architectural space new vitality, and creates a variety of architectural space artistic conception. The different architectural mood which is brought about by the change of light and shadow is analyzed and compared. The result shows the art of light and shadow should be embodied constantly during the design. These can provide valuable references for initial architectural scheme design.

Abstract: The structure form lightening is an inevitable trend on development of long-span building structure dimension. At the same time, the development of structure mechanics, materials science and component processing technology progress also becomes the important boost of promotion to structure regulation-controlling ability. This article draw a conclusion that, under the specific condition, structure form's change in fact is a materialized presents of forces system combination-changing through the dual overall analysis on classification of structural unit's stress and nature classification's of structure materials, in meanwhile according to the tension members` equivalent replacement principle between rigidity and flexibility components. It may provide new enlightenment and the feasibility method for form innovation of long-span architecture design through this particular instrumentality of transformation rule.

Abstract: The River Bend region of Hou’xi town in Chongqing Municipality is one of the Tujia neighborhoods; the spatial construction of the whole village has been made to face a crisis due to lack of basic research on the traditional settlement space and the interests driven in recent years. The reasons for the disorder and lack of the charm of the new settlement space were analyzed, and the construction policies of traditional settlements were combed based on field research from the perspective of Architecture and Landscape Architecture by the methods of combining quantitative and qualitative. The conclusion shows that the village building should respect and protect their traditional styles; the problems what the current village construction face are solved through the integration of the layout of public resources, the improvement of the traffic situation, the construction of the unique style and the transformation of the refinement.

Abstract: City construction is beset with severe problems like homogenization, exotic style copy, barbaric development and short-lived buildings, jeopardizing the traditional culture as well as natural environment.

They express the Tibetan traditional mountain worship idea, and Buddhist the Mandala Cosmology and Three Realms idea.

Abstract: Townhouse would be the ideal human-habitation form in modern cities of China under the background of tight supply of urban lands. In combination with dozen of Townhouse project design practices, this paper will focus on the French, British, Spanish, Modern, Chinese and other styles mostly adopted in existing Townhouse projects, and will elaborate the design essentials of China’s Townhouse development projects.
