The Research On The Pedigree Of British Architectural Technology Aesthetics

From the17th and18th century, the Britain entered into the modern societytrack, opened the modern chapter of human history. In the architectural field, theBritain became exporting countries from the importing country, generated theprototype of modern architecture, and followed by the formation of the modernaesthetic type which called technical aesthetics advocating functional, rational,pragmatic feature.The Britain not only has given rise to the modern architectural technologyaesthetic, also derived important inspiration and influence along with the culturalexchange to Europe, America and Asia, become major sources of the Modernistarchitecture. In this process, the British Architectural Technology Aesthetics haddistinctive features of pedigree, and adjust itself to meet the development of era.This pedigree lasted more than200years, combines traditional and moderncharacteristics, occupied an important seat in the world architectural field.This paper regards the Pedigree of British Architectural Technology Aestheticsas research object, based on the ideology and practice of the18th century to thepresent Britian architecture, and took the focus on British as well as with othercountries to establishthe Architectural Technology Aesthetics pedigree, then expandthe full text. About research methods, this paper regarded historical test as the basicmethods, the pedigree as main analysis approach, studied on the internal structure,radiation effects, influenced factors, dynamic causes in the origins, generation,fission, renaissance and new tend historical stages, and explored the technologydevelopment, contemporary culture and architectural trend in this pedigree.Base on analysis and research, this paper put forward innovativly, the BritishArchitectural Technology Aesthetics was a native aesthetic type, has a clear lineagecharacteristics. It took the practical reason as the core spirit; the national characteras the endoplasmic; the modernism as significantly characterization; the traditionaland new factors of technological development as the two-wheel-drive. The BritishArchitectural Technology Aesthetics occupy two important sources of modernistarchitectural aesthetics, and had the common-source with it. At last, this paperestablished the overall system, main stages and the nodes of the sub-pedigreechartof this aesthetic pedigree.There were these academic significance as follows:(1) Break themacro-narrative way of aesthetic studies, do the research at the micro level, paidclose attention to theaccidental factors in the evolution of architectural history,expanding the the architectural aesthetics path;(2) Took the Britain as the research core, set up the more explicit, clear, detailed relationship for the development ofarchitectural technology aesthetics, since the modern society at the micro level. Gotthe conclusion that the British Architectural Technology Aesthetics was not a singlelinear development context, but full of intricate factors;(3) The Pedigree of BritishArchitectural Technology Aesthetics was a dynamic development process,duringthis period runs through the spirit of British exploration and continuation.
