Common Sense About Chinese Architecture

Lin Huiyin is a famous female architect and poet in modern China. She has an important status and influence in the Chinese architectural community. Ancient Chinese architecture is world-famous for its unique style and characteristics. Typical ancient Chinese buildings include palaces, temples, gardens, pavilions, etc. Common features include gabled roofs with double eaves, painted wooden frames, masonry structures, and curved water pavilions. Chinese garden architecture is famous for its exquisite design and unique layout. In her architectural practice, Lin Huiyin has conducted in-depth research and exploration of traditional Chinese architecture, drawing on the characteristics and essence of ancient architecture while combining it with the ideas and techniques of modern architecture to create works with a unique style.

Speaking of Lin Huiyin, the first thing I think of is her literary works and her enviable love story. But in fact, Lin Huiyin is still an outstanding architect. As an old classmate who is highly respected in the architectural field, Mr. Wu Liangyong, he evaluated Mr. Lin Huiyin as "the great first female architect in China." Through Lin Huiyin, this book explains to us some important basic common sense in Chinese architecture, which can help us understand architecture more quickly and what we need to pay attention to when designing buildings.

If you want to understand Lin Huiyin, you must not only understand her love story and literary works, but also understand her achievements in the field of architecture. This book provides a detailed analysis of the development history of ancient Chinese architecture and is accompanied by its own investigation report. Although it is called common sense, many contents in the book are still relatively complicated for a layman like me. On the one hand, this book can be read as a popular architectural science book, and it can also be read as Lin Huiyin's essays. Lin Huiyin's writing is exquisite and beautiful, and it is worth reading.

Architecture is born to study

Traditional Chinese architecture features brackets and stone carvings as decorative features to convey the artistic conception of culture and art. Dougong and stone carvings are often used in gate towers, eaves, railings and other parts, showing exquisite craftsmanship and artistic expression. At the same time, we pay attention to the integration of nature and humanity, and emphasize the harmony between man and nature. Garden architecture usually includes rockeries, ponds, covered bridges, pavilions and other elements to create a pleasant environment and artistic conception. Chinese architecture has very distinctive characteristics, and this book is worth reading.

Incredibly good-looking

Hey, I recently read the book "Common Sense of Chinese Architecture", it's really interesting! Teacher Lin Huiyin explained ancient Chinese architecture very clearly. I especially liked the ancient building inspection reports she wrote, as if I had gone there too! The diagrams in the book were also very useful and helped me understand more about architecture. I think this book is not only suitable for architectural researchers, but also for people like me who are interested in architecture. I recommend you check it out too!

A very good book. Not only can I understand Chinese architectural knowledge, but also Lin Huiyin's wisdom.
