The Crystal Palace’s Environmental Manage-Ment And The Technical Dimension Of Modern Architecture

Crystal Palace(1851)-The London World’s Fair Architecture is a pioneer of modernism architecture.It has a very important significance for the history of architecture technology and even the world civilization.It is not accidental that Paxton can creatively design this exquisite environmental control system.Advanced environmental control designs often appear first in production buildings.The purpose of early regulation of the internal environment was not to increase the comfort of the occupants of the building,but to create specific environmental conditions for production.The artificially controlled production environment is perfectly integrated with the construction,form,space and structure of the building’s own design,and has even become an iconic building of the era,laying the foundation for the regulation and design of other types of modern building environments.In modern China,the type of demand for modernity was also exhibited in the production-type silkworm tusks.Although non-renewable mechanical equipment can be used to create the required temperature and humid-ity,environmental designers quickly realized that if the natural environment is maximally utilized,the demand for mechanical heating will be reduced.Therefore,designers began to regard the design of the building itself as part of the control of the internal environment system.Reasonable design is essential to promote the operation of the building environment control system.It must be run in a specific way in different situations,and this performance must be strictly controlled.The external maintenance structure must bear the load,selectively filter the external environment,stimulate the natural potential,and poetically present the language of environmental regulation.With the large-scale construction of buildings that precisely regulate internal environmental conditions,environmental designers began to conceive of a series of innovative applications of technology for production-based building to humans,establishing a complete environmental control structure,and solving a series of urban environments.Social issues are also the starting point of modern architecture.The real modern architecture is transcending the formal style,conforming to modern functions,enhancing the comfort of living,and satisfying the spiritual appeal.To create an environment that is truly suitable for human survival activities,ultimately presents a poetic expression.More actively adapt to natural and mechanical regulation.This contains the pursuit of a higher level of people-oriented and future society.Designers design imaginative buildings through the perception of different geographical environments.In modern practice,a large number of architects have given up the possibility of using the building’s own design to achieve environmental control,and the environmental regulation within the building is almost completely passed to mechanical equipment.Buildings are squandered on energy demand and become one of the major sources of environmental pollution.The history of the development of the built environment has become a history of in-creasing energy consumption.We may wish to trace the origin of this article back to the starting point of the history of environmental regulation and development and interpret the exploration of the exquisitely controlled environmental design it carries.
