Features: This book delves into the intrinsic theoretical roots of the transformation and development of architectural forms within the Modernist architectural movement from the perspectives of modern aesthetics and literary theory. Formalist literary theory originated in the first decade of the 20th century. This literary trend not only greatly influenced the abstract, non-representational Modernist art movement but also directly propelled the emergence and development of structuralism and semiotic aesthetics. It also led modern architecture onto a path of formal self-awareness. The article subsequently explores the "formal structural" literary theory that traces a lineage from "Russian Formalism" to "French Structuralism" to "American Semiotics." Finally, it introduces the shift and expression in contemporary architectural aesthetics and the trends in the formal aesthetics of contemporary architecture in China.
