Researchs On The Design Of Contemporary Complex Architectural Form

In modern times, the progress of science and technology has broadened people's field of view. The mutual infiltration and fusion between the marginal, cross-sectional and integrative disciplines have made the analytic development trend in the human knowledge field becoming comprehensive. Through this Architecture has obtained the development opportunities of fusion, diversity, and openness. Based on this broad designing visual threshold, the form design filed in contemporary western architecture has undergone a great revolution. Architectural form design is not only engineering design providing final product, but a comprehensive correlation of complexity gathering science, philosophy and techniques in whole. Some creative architects no longer view architecture as pure, mechanical object that just provides human with habitats. On the contrary, it becomes a fresh organic structure originating in the complexity of the world. Architectural form language starts to tend to construct as nonlinear science thinking, namely, to relearn the restoration of complexity, the time and space, the period and synchrony, the main ideology and the text production interaction. The past simplex design method, aesthetic principle and construction system that aimed at the Euclidean geometry architectural forms are no longer applicable to today's complicated architectural form, when a series of "complex" architectural forms suiting the development trend of new technology and new concept are emerging. Today, the influence of the breadth and depth of the new innovation pursuing architectural forms revolution is beyond any of the previous era, which has won broad consensus in the western architectural theory circle, becoming an important architecture movement in the 21st century.This paper puts the research perspective on the new trend of contemporary architecture form design field, taking the "complex architectural form" as an essential characteristic different from the architectural forms of previous era as well as the research object of this paper. Through the study this paper gives the following definition to the concept: "complex architectural form" is a architectural form in digital age, taking complex science as theoretical basis, the modern philosophy as thoughts resource, digital construction as technical support, attempting to simulate and restore the real world through complex, diverse forms and rich space experience. The "complex architectural form" takes nonlinear thinking as the essential characteristics, digital technological application as basis, and revealing to us the complexity of the real world as the purpose. It is the comprehensive embodiment of the external complex form and inner complex logic. The change of direction to"complexity"of architectural form reflects the attention of the contemporary architecture practice to the overall relevance between things and the dynamic evolution mechanism. The characteristics of the chaos and complexity of the architectural form change are the mapping of the penetrating complex science. The essence of complexity is the embodiment of architectural conception change under the guidance of the mechanism.The aim of this study is not to conclude new architectural trends. Instead, we place it in a dynamic and open system, aiming to provide a clear and acute perspective, constructing a theoretical platform where it can be studied objectively and comprehensively.On the layer of the basic theory, through the related multidimensional research into the science, philosophy and technology of"complex architectural form", this paper pierces with panoramic way into the complex thing-in-itself characteristics like"form connotation, form logic, form formation"on the form layer.As to the practical theory, through the related research into the"emerging construction, topological shape change, and parametric design", this paper reveals the complex thing-in-itself characteristics like"form logic, form formation and form construction"on the form design layer.As to the concrete strategies, this paper gets rid of the artful tendency and plot of traditional architectural research, instead, puts technology as a hidden research clue through the whole paper. The paper researches into the ontology meaning of complex architectural form from the angle of technology, further analyzes into the functional and operational mechanisms and the interactive relationship in depth, especially the great support of complex science and digitalization construction to the form construction of"complex architectural form"as well as the concrete technological strategy and measures reflected.This paper is a"partial"study into contemporary complex architectural forms, the summarized characteristics and design strategy are not covering all of the design of complex architectural forms. Even in reality we are not able to use all the design methods. However, these types are of certain representativeness, reflecting the highest level of contemporary complex architectural forms, especially such new construction logic and system of"emerging construction"and"parametric design", which reflect the form characteristics of complex architectural forms from certain perspective. The distinct characteristics deepen our understanding for the original concept of complexity.By using the research methods of theoretical pondering, interdisciplinary method, example analysis, this paper innovatively extracts from the complicated architectural phenomenon the most original logic of"complex architectural form", constructing a theory system enabling objective interpretation into its "morphological particularity, connotation, logic, formation and construction", revealing the ontological meaning, inner disciplines and design mechanism of the"complexity"of complex architectural form. Such research result provides significant theoretical and practical basis to understand the complexity thinking of contemporary architectural design. At the same time, it has great real significance to expand the visual threshold of Chinese architects, to construct Chinese original architectural theories facing informationized society, to impel the development of complex architectural forms in China, as well as to improve the original design level of Chinese architecture.
