Collective Presentations of Modern Spatial Structure with Chinese Architectural Expression: Modern Architecture Practice and Theory Exploration of Taiwan Region in the 1960s
Abstract:After the World War II, with breakthroughs in structural and material technology, the Western architectural territory saw a tide of exploration for novel architectural space and forms by employing new structures. During this period in Taiwan region, the architects represented by Chen Chi-Kwan, Wang TaHung and Ieoh Ming Pei, and the architectural scholars King Chang-Ming and Pao-Teh Han adopted some new patterns of spatial structures, such as the inverted umbrella-shaped (reversed-curve surface) thin shell structure, the folded plate structure, the hyperbolic paraboloid thin shell structure, etc. as the breakthrough points to explore Chinese modern architecture systematically both in practice and theory, leading to the innovation climax in the 1960s. As part of the history of Western modern architecture, these collective architectural innovations inherited from Chinese ancient traditions and meanwhile integrated the Chinese architecture into the world trend. Also, these innovations are the practices and reflections of innovative significance in the early development of modern architecture in post-war China, and the innovative way of architectural creation to be economical, expressive and of Chinese spirit provides great inspiration up to now.
