A study on the design and concept of Guilin Landscape Building in Shang Kuo based on the Beaux-Arts system
Full text linkThe Beaux-Arts system, once an important international architectural design method, represents a significant and challenging area of research when considering its localization in China. Shang Kuo, a Chinese architect influenced by the Beaux-Arts concept, demonstrates the heritage and development of the Beaux-Arts system through his landscape buildings in Guilin. This study selects six representative cases from Shang Kuo’s landscape buildings in Guilin and analyzes them based on the Beaux-Arts system. The analysis focuses on four aspects: plan composition, spatial composition, facade composition, and the formal aesthetic laws of composition. The research reveals that Shang Kuo’s works exhibit three balanced choices of axis composition in their plans. He innovatively incorporates elements such as residential buildings, garden architecture, traditional Chinese art, and natural elements into the composition of his buildings, while emphasizing the harmonious integration of interiors and facades and adhering to the principles of aesthetic form. This study shows the way of localizing Beaux-Arts architecture through Shang Kuo’s landscape buildings in Guilin and contributes to the understanding of the development of modern Chinese architecture
How Association Method Apply to painting Creation -A case Study of Contemporary Aritist Kuo, Wei Kuo
No full text[[abstract]]With the advance of civilization and science, a certain model answer seems to exist in the development of everything. Therefore, in the process of learning, the ultimate goal is restricted to the conformity of this existing model answer. However, the thinking method, association, is neglected for a long time, which hinders the ability of handling any scholastic subjects or settling issues.
The study is divided into two parts. (1) After collecting relevant literature, the study discusses how association affects the creation of paintings. Moreover, the study analyzes the background of domestic contemporary paintings to discover how association is applied to them. The study then states a conclusion based on literature review, relevant data, and the primary data collected by the author. (2) The study has collected 130 entries of Kuo Wei Kuo's artworks, which are divided into 12 types in accordance with the attribution of the association objects. After conducting data analysis to know their distribution, the study then discusses their connotation. In addition, the study concludes different factors affecting the process of creation based on the interview with Kuo Wei Kuo and the background of interviewee's creation. After distinguishing each transforming period, the study conducts statistic analysis of each period to discover the differences and describes the process of how the interviewee creates his artworks.
The study finally concludes that Kuo Wei Kuo is inspired greatly by the social background and the accumulation of his life experience. Moreover, he is good at expressing the theme of self image in his works. His motivation of creation is always intrigued randomly. As time changes, Kuo Wei Kuo's artworks can be divided into five important transforming periods based on the their characteristics: Period 1, trial and error; Period 2, chaos; Period 3, critical period; Period 4, inspection and learn; and Period 5, maturity. For a long time, Kuo Wei Kuo adopts the same body and transforms it into different characters to play the‘observer’in the third person point of view, the‘performer’in the viewpoints of the main character, and finally, the‘creator’with mature expression skills in his artworks. In addition, the study concludes the following points which may help to arouse the connotation of association object: (1) to develop the sensitivity of observing life; (2) to reverse thinking and dare to try; (3) to avoid expressing paintings in a standardized way; (4) to leave space for viewers. Besides, in terms of applying association to paintings, the following points may serve as a reference: (1) various learning; (2) develop the perception of life; (3) integrating the theme of creation with life.
