The remarkable economic increase occurred during the china's economic transforming has converted the people's consumption configuration from 'subsistence-oriented' to 'culture-oriented'. After meeting the basic substantial conditions for food and clothes, the satisfaction in spirit has become people's destination. In the field of architecture designing, aesthetics in architecture has also experienced dramatic changes ever since the Culture Revolution with the new political and economic systems, after a period of renaissance.

The development of the internet and digital technologies have largely expended the information amount, providing a more convenient method of communicating for people and also new opportunities and challenges for architects. The research method for the architecture semeiology theory provides a effective way for architecture designing and communicating between architectures and people as a scientific cognition. Under this theory, it has become the contemporary architects urgency that how to preserve the traditional culture and at the meanwhile seek breakthroughs on the basis of the expressing method, the relation processing between human and environment and the sustainable development.
