Regionalism





Regionalism in term for architecture, it typically denotes an architecture that is derived from its local setting. Unlike most universally designed post-World War II architecture (thick glass office buildings, shopping centers, and tract homes), an architecture derived from a regionalism concept becomes inherently site specific, responding to the local climate and culture.
However due to the internationally based economy, the material that used for construction can be from across an ocean as well as from down the street, nevertheless making regionalism architecture is more like aesthetic style emulating the local environment more than an architect that constructed of regional materials. The example can be show in Wang Shu. As we can see in his architectural works, modernity is the category for his design, in my opinion, but also he never leaves the critical regionalism or the concern for his locality. I have to admit that i never visit one of his works so I cannot judge about how accurate there are in terms of functions. However in this stage, I trust the mature architect. I can only decide from the external looks which have the great impact to the locality. Materials, elements, structures, colors, all of them can make people sense the scent of Chinese and out boring at all. I assumed that he must concern a lot how to balance the conservative with traditional issue and the modern worlds’ requirements for architecture.
