Being supported by concept of science and digital technology, the rapid progress is gradually made in the influence on architecture by science. It's necessary to pay more attention on new science concept and method in architecture research besides philosophy and aesthetics. The thesis selects the influence of science concept on the architecture of the present age as its topic and focuses on the present architecture phenomenon and its developing trend. By using interdisciplinary and image as research method, the thesis tries to provide an overview from science concept to notion on philosophy and space, aesthetics standards and view of architecture. From the point of science concept, the thesis explores how new nature science affects architecture and analyzes the influence on architecture space and surface by natural subject theory and notion of different levels. The thesis also discusses the scientific rules influencing contemporary western leading architecture theory and creating ways of architecture. The thesis tends to constitute a relationship and theory system between science and architecture. The research helps to trace the origin of new architecture scope, to know the developing trend of contemporary architecture, and understand that digital technology makes profound influence on founding a building from the very beginning to the end.Science concept has an indirect impact on architecture theory and concept through its influence on social culture. Now the architecture concept is more and more quickly influenced by science concept, therefore close relationship between society, philosophy, science and architecture comes into being. The present age architecture theory is being affected by new science concept profoundly. After being transmitted and converted by philosophy idea and aesthetics idea, science concept finally brings architecture idea to scientific development. Contemporary science works on architecture by basic subjects and branch subjects of different levels. Basic science such as mathematics, physics and complexity science as well as the embranchment knowledge including cosmography, bionomics, geology, crystallography, morphology, electronics, energetics, hydrodynamics and other subjects support architecture research both from concepts and methods.On basis of computer technology, architecture has developed a system that can convert science idea into architecture idea. The rapid development of computer technology has changed the shaping of architecture space and form. Contemporary architects have developed new architecture concept, way of thinking, and design method after combining science concept with digital technology. By theory of emergence, generation and illustration, the new architecture concept focuses on two key points: space and surface. Its characteristic is space mathematicization and formation, surface complication and medium.The new science concept + computer technology updated view of architecture space, aesthetics standards of architecture, notion of architecture shape and opened up more possibilities for architecture from various aspects.
