Modern architectural context
Modern architectural contextualism originated in the United States in the mid-1960s. There was a book of the same name published by Dalian University of Technology Press in May 2010. The author was Qiu Yuanxin. The book elaborated on the concept of contextualism from its establishment to how it should be grasped and evaluated in the near future. It also clearly explained the location of the design principles in the post-modern period, the changes that occurred, and other issues of general concern in the field of architecture. It also put forward policy suggestions for the design principles of the 21st century architectural culture. In terms of architectural practice, for example, the design of Lilavati Lalbhai Library at CECT University reflected the modern architectural context. The library was located in the core of the campus. In addition to meeting the functional requirements in terms of spatial organization, it was interwoven with the existing campus buildings in terms of form. Through the adjustment of the plane, floor profile, and material selection, it reflected the respect for the continuity of the existing buildings. On the exterior, the variable louvered facade and exposed concrete responded to the local architectural tradition. Another example was the concept design of Kunming West Station. The architectural style extracted the architectural elements of the ancient Dian people's "long spine, short eaves, and flying roof ridges" to define the unique cultural temperament of the West Station, which was in line with the regional character. The contextualism in architecture reflects the close relationship between architecture and history, culture, region and other factors. It aims to make the architecture meet the needs of modern times and inherit and continue the specific architectural culture.
