Research On Gunter Behnisch's Architectural Form Composition

Gunter Behnisch is one of the most active and the most influential masters in the world's ideological field of architecture. He is still active in the forefront of the field of architectural creation, when he is 82 years old .In the several decades which he engaged in creative design, his works included many architectural types,such as school buildings, sports buildings, office buildings and commercial buildings and so on. These buildings spread all over many countries in Europe and the United States, making him as a well-known world-renowned architect.Each of his architectural works is very unique creativity, giving an unlimited imagination and memorable space to people.In this paper, in order to research the form constitute of Gunter Behnisch's architectural creation, from the creative thinking,the creative techniques and the personal expression,we will in-depth and comprehensively analysis the ideological contents and methods which are implicited in his works, thus we will grasp his architectural concept integritily.First, analysing the generation and origins of Behnisch's design concepts in which his works manifest. The design concept is the heart in the study of Behnisch'buildings.The multiple informations era being refected from his works is a miniature of his design career, which is throughout the whole story in his creativity. At the same time, his works also reflect the "non-holistic" diversity of thought and this is the essence of Behnisch's design ideas,which reflects his "dualism" thinking in his design philosophy. Behnisch has certain achievements in the ecological architectural concept.The human concerning about the respect for nature is an important manifestation in his field of ecological building, which to show that he has his own unique insight and expression to the nature and introduces the nature to his architectural creation, so it makes nature as one of the harmonious factors of the architectural constitute.These are all his design ideas to express concentratedly. Through these ideas are expressed in the constructed works, going into the discussion on the understanding of the relationships between buildings and times, architectures and people, architectures and ecology deeply. Second, analyzing of the generation and application of Behnisch's personalized design techniques. He attached great importance to all aspects of architectural harmony.In the generation of the architectural function, he attached great importance to the relationships among flat, vertical surface and detail, putting efforts to coordinate all aspects of the elements and completing both reasonable and varied functional model. Meanwhile, Behnisch also inherited the inherent traditions in the aspect of architectural technology of German architects, committing to the utilize of ecological technology and green technology in the architectural creation.Using some high-tech materials and constructed methods to achieve sustainable developments and ecological goals,he has played a positive role in the architectural ecological field promotedly. In focusing on the use of eco-building design practices, while also seeking to the explorations in architectural art, it allows to achieve the unity of perfect harmony both in forms and contents. This is reflected the "metaphor" approach combined with the creative process, which as a "metaphor " creative model for architectural design.The basis of this modeis is the existence of the metaphor and the expression of spiritual significance of architectural essece is the creative goals. These are all well proved that Behnisch attached great importance to the coordination of aspects in the architectura design means. in order to create fully functional, technical ecology, multi-meaning forms of buildings.Finally, concluded the applications of various elements in the design process. These elements include space elements, entity elements, as well as component elements. It can be said that for the smart using of these elements is an extension and highlight of his design approach. Among them, spatial elements are the core elements of the building,and Behnisch use the digestion of the interface to create a richful space and place; the use of "Montage" to create the space sites which has expressiveness and appeal; the use of tilt skin to create extremely rich interior lighting changes. Physical elements are the most important elements in Behnisch's architectural form constitute.Through a maze variety of addition of creative expression, such as interlude,duplication, overlay, and addition, together constitute different, creative and appealing architectural shape. Independent pillars, stairs, sun louvres are the basic building components, Behnisch used these basic architectural elements smartly and created a very meaningful architectural works. These are reflected Behnisch's flexible architectural design techniques and created beautiful posture and richful architectural shapes.
