Prior to this, this building was hotly discussed by netizens because it was elected as the "ugliest building" a month ago.

The reason for the "ugly construction" of the Hengda Haihua Island complex in Danzhou, Hainan Province, is that capital is willful, destroys the marine ecology, and has a strange and chaotic form, which is a typical example of a cultural tourism project that shows off wealth and kitsch.

The beauty of architecture in "poetry on earth"

For this selection, the relevant person in charge of the construction free speech network said: "The selection activity is by no means a gathering of network curiosity, but hopes to trigger people's thinking about the beauty and ugliness of architecture, so as to enhance the sense of social responsibility of construction industry practitioners, promote the healthy development of the construction industry, and make ugly buildings become street rats that everyone shouts." ”

As a jury member of the conference, Zhou Rong, an associate professor at the School of Architecture of Tsinghua University and a well-known architectural critic, believes that by analyzing the main changes in the "ugly architecture" in the past decade, new problems can be seen: "The selection of ugly buildings itself also shows a historical change, and the lofty government buildings of the early Copycat White House, as well as the gold-worshiping buildings imitating gold yuanbao and large copper coins, all have very obvious limitations of the times. Today, the causes behind ugly architecture have changed significantly, with naked sublime or gold-worshiping architecture gradually decreasing, but it will appear in another way. For example, guangzhou Sunac Grand Theater, foreign architects understand Chinese culture in a simple and rude way, and The Kiss of the Flying Sky expresses traditional culture in a vulgar way, which also brings new problems. ”

How do I fix the above issues?

Zhou Rong said in a speech entitled "Humanistic Aesthetics of Contemporary Architecture" at the "Second Dongqian Lake Education Forum":

"In today's material surplus, contemporary architecture presents a new turn, that is, to pay more attention to this ordinary, human and social comprehensive expression. The transformation of contemporary architecture's values shifts from the pursuit of an absolute and perfect divine order to the poetic transformation of the human world; the standard transfer of contemporary architecture, from the pursuit of a perfect order to the expression of an imperfect and non-standard human order; the shift of the goal of contemporary architecture, from the simple pursuit of material expression to the pursuit of human cultural education, the comprehensive state of the whole society, and the presentation of comprehensive vitality. ”
