On critical regionalism saving our architecture design
In confrontation with the temptation of assimilation of global culture, our architects either directly play a disarming role or find supports from regionalism. It is easy for us to distinguish these two extremes individual features of Chinese architecture are stepping into, which involve our blind obedience to internationalism and overindulgence in the serious degeneration of traditional value in the depth of our mind in the first regard, and the second one reflecting the reliance on irrational mechanical regionalism resists the attack caused by the assimilation of global culture to make substantial fake antiques in terms of pretension that our traditional culture are booming always. However, neither of those two extremes can shape the change that our designs for architecture are undergoing the depression of national characteristics. Critical regionalism has provided news solutions to problems for us.
