Spiritual Language of Public Art in Architectural Form

To interpret spiritual language of architectural public art, architectural form was analyzed. Visual art space is based on spatial vision, artistic forms of point, line, surface and body are major visual elements of spatial form. Visual elements can be demonstrated in various forms, and even more diversified in the context of spatial design, interact with each other according to the form principle of beauty, and construct artistic forms of the space. Manifestation of the nature of public art also relies on visual elements, and the public aesthetic experience and feelings about architectural public art are expressed by visual elements.

Analysis of Architectural Art of Traditional Ancestral Hall in Ji’an Meibei Village,Jiangxi Province

The traditional architecture in Ji’an area of Jiangxi Province is known for its ancient style,dignified,and grand,distinctive hierarchy,staggered,exquisite structure,carved beams,and painted buildings,and has a long history,so that the traditional architectural form and artistic style of the region has formed a strong regional characteristics,so the authors chose the traditional ancestral hall architecture in the region as the object of study.First of all,the basic information of traditional architecture,history,and culture in Meibei ancient village in Ji’an region was collected.Secondly,using field research method,data measurement,image collection,and relevant drawings were made for traditional ancestral hall architecture in Meibei ancient village,including the architectural form,decoration,etc.of“Yongmu Hall”and“Quzhi Hall”.Finally,we analyzed,compared,and researched these representative ancestral halls in a more systematic way with the theory of art class,and came to a more objective conclusion on the artistic characteristics of ancestral hall architecture.At the same time,the research and communication of this research can enhance people’s understanding of traditional architectural culture and aesthetic inculcation in Meibei ancient village,but also for further research of Ji’an traditional residential architecture and art and inheritance and promotion of traditional national culture to provide reference.

A Brief Analysis of the Forms and Features of Traditional Residential Dwellings in Southern Shaanxi in the Shaanxi Section of the“Silk Road”by Land

As one of the major types of traditional architecture in China,traditional residential dwellings have been characterized by a variety of complex forms under the influence of different regional cultures and historical background.This paper takes the opportunity to study the art and culture of traditional dwelling architecture along the Silk Road,focusing on the traditional dwellings in the southern Shaanxi region,the starting point of the Silk Road,through field research and literature research,to further elaborate and prove the regional form of traditional dwellings in the southern Shaanxi region and the causes of the formation of this north-south architectural form.Therefore,the authors summarize and analyze the architectural forms,mapping data and images and demonstrate through detailed examples of remaining dwellings in southern Shaanxi,in order to provide a theoretical basis for the preservation and inheritance of traditional dwellings in southern Shaanxi in the future.

Investigating the Effect of Sidewalk Flooring on the Behavioral Pattern (Walking) of Citizens in Urban Spaces (Case Study: Vali asr St., Tehran)

The present study has evaluated the effect of architectural forms on the walking activity of citizens as a behavioral model in urban physical spaces.The research hypothesis claims that by designing purposeful and appropriate architectural forms,the behavior and actions of users in urban physical spaces can be to some extent,it designed or controlled,and that the pattern and domains of human behavior in urban streets are the result of the components of environmental quality that are included in the design of that street.The present theoretical proposition has been tested in two sequences from Valiasr Street in Tehran.At the theoretical level,the research method is descriptive-analytical and at the experimental level,it is a survey that has been done using the behavioral research method.The results show that the floor form and street form are the most influential architectural forms in urban physical spaces on the activity of users walking from space in the study sample.Also,some environmental factors have a direct effect on human reactions;The research findings show that people’s speed is directly related to the dimensions of sidewalk carpets and a person tries to take a step according to the senses he receives from the sidewalk flooring form and as a result his speed changes according to those forms.

Study on Continuity of Temple of Local Land God in Rural Construction Based on the Perspective of Place Spirit

Temple of local land god is a kind of traditional sacrificial architecture in China's village,and is cultural landscape generated under special farming system of China,which reflects the spiritual world of the working people and bears the history of the village. Its protection and continuity must take inheriting the cultural spirit as the most important prerequisite,and "place spirit" established by Norberg Schultz provides important theoretic basis for it. In this paper,based on "place spirit","place spirit" of temple of local land god is interpreted,and important role of "place spirit" in its protection and continuity and the ways to create "place spirit" of temple of local land god are explored.

Ecological Cultures of Traditional Hani Villages

Villages of Hani Nationality are located above the elevation of 1,400-1,800 m, halfway up the Ailao Mountains in south Yunnan, natural landscapes and architectural structure of Hani Nationality show peculiar styles. Folk dwellings of Hani Village were divided into 4 types, namely rammed-clay house(Tuzhangfang), mushroom house, tile-roofed house, and stilted house(Ganlanfang). In terms of the origination, rammed-clay house and mushroom house are originated from the flat-top fort buildings of the Di and the Qiang nationalities. Tile-roofed house is the variation of mushroom house by learning from the courtyard building of the Han Nationality, and stilted house is directly borrowed from the folk dwelling style of Baiyue people. Structures of all these buildings show the adaptability to local environment.

A 30-year controversy over the Shanghai East China Electric Power Building:the creation and conservation of late 20th century Chinese architectural heritage

The Shanghai East China Electric Power Building,which was completed in 1988,is widely accepted as one of the first postmodern high-rise buildings in Shanghai.Based on articles published in mass media and professional magazines,interviews with relevant stakeholders and social media debates,this paper focuses on two controversies regarding the building’s peculiar architectural form.The first occurred between 1988 and 1992,when the building’s postmodern appearance aroused heated debates among architectural professionals.The second happened between 2015 and 2018,when the building’s postmodern appearance was planned to be replaced with a slated Art Deco surface during its renovation into a boutique hotel.This paper reveals how a thirst for‘form innovation’emerged in the specific social and professional environment shortly after China’s opening-up,and how professional and public awareness of the value of late 20th century architectural heritage was stimulated in the early 21st century in the search for an alternative representation of urban identity other than the widely accepted Art Deco style.This paper emphasises the public meaning of architectural forms in arguing for institutional co-operation in systematic evaluation and conservation legislation for late twentieth century Chinese architectural heritage sites to maintain the historical diversity of the cityscape during urban regeneration.

All-optical conversion scheme from binary to its MTN form with the help of nonlinear material based tree-net architecture

In the field of optical computing and parallel information processing, several number systems have been used for different arithmetic and algebraic operations. Therefore an efficient conversion scheme from one number system to another is very important. Modified trinary number （MTN） has already taken a significant role towards carry and borrow free arithmetic operations. In this communication, we propose a tree-net architecture based all optical conversion scheme from binary number to its MTN form. Optical switch using nonlinear material （NLM） plays an important role.
