| Nowadays there are a great number of wonderful works about how to make the constructions show their local flavors, however few of them focus on the shapes of constructions.One tree can' t make woods, so studies of constructions with local flavors can' t improve the styles of constructions. Instead, local constructions in different places make their own names, which may have bad effect on the shapes of the constructions.Currently the shapes of Chinese constructions are disordered and develop independently. Besides the current social policies and rules has less control of the shapes of rural constructions. Facing the existing problems, I think we need to consider about how to control and lead it to the right way. The study of local constructions can' t solve all those problems.This paper is to analyze the definition, history and development of shapes of constructions from the aspects such as macroscopic readjustment and control, general design and architectonics. Thanks to the current situation of designing of west and east, the paper is to suggest guidance of designing including the principles of sorting, general control together with the principles of singlization and multiplicization. The principle of 4-D designing refers to the 4 aspects—color, parts, forms and material of constructions which can keep the designing of constructions in order to build real local flavors of rural constructions. In this way, the shapes of different constructions can be based on the principles, and some problems can be solved and rural constructions will develop in a proper manner. |
