学得盘古开天地（代刊首语）——写于《中国建筑装饰装修》正式创刊前

曾几何时，装饰彻底走过了与建筑一体化的时代。拉斯金指出，区别建筑艺术与单纯的建筑物的一个重大因素就是装饰。而当柯布西耶面对古典图式时，相信他的心中除了具象的山花、柱式，还有德漠克利特、亚里士多德的思想和毕达哥拉斯的理论。摩尔说：要创造一幢有价值的建筑，就是要把材料、装饰和自己对生活的梦想绑在一起。建立既是物质的也是精神的适宜的生活领域，是建筑与装饰设计首要的原则。

For a long time interior design ＆ decoration had been nothing more than an attached part of architectural design. Rusking once pointed out that, the key factor to separate designed architectures from simple buildings is exactly decoration. While Le Cobusier facing classical columns, we can reasonably believe that besides of real pediments or orders in h!s eyes, theories of Democritus, Aristotle and Pythagoras might also come into his mind. Moore once said： To create a valuable building is to bind materials, decorations and dreams of life together. The first principle for architecture and interior design is to build comfortable living environment both physical and spiritual.
