Patterns to Establish the Concepts of Harmony in Modern Architecture

The concepts of harmony in ancient Chinese architecture is deeply rooted in the unique appeal and value of Eastern earth culture, which boasts a rich history and profound heritage. Developed by wise and experienced predecessors, this concepts serves as a testament to our historical civilization. Over thousands of years, our architecture has developed distinct characteristics that set it apart in world history. These characteristics can be summarized in three aspects: the awareness of ecological balance that seeks to harmonize humans with nature, the collectivist notion that aims to unite humans with each other, and the national spirit of “practical rationality” that blends the physical and mental realms. The value and significance of the concepts of harmony in ancient Chinese architecture can be seen in three ways. Firstly, through green architecture and sustainable practices, we strive to achieve a balance between the ecological environment and market benefits. Secondly, through the fusion of traditional architecture and modernization, we investigate and explore both preservation and innovation for sustainable development. Lastly, by blending national architecture with globalization, we incorporate and adapt the past to meet current needs and draw inspiration from external influences.
