Features: When conducting architectural design, there are various kinds of ideas. When expressing these ideas in a concrete form or space, they inevitably take on a certain "composition" form. The more composition techniques a designer is familiar with, the more interesting the design becomes. Moreover, when attempting to adopt new composition techniques, it is essential to first master the knowledge of traditional composition. This book, through a wealth of classic architectural works from ancient to modern history, especially in the history of modern and contemporary architecture, explains the basic techniques of architectural composition and serves as a fundamental textbook for architecture students. Additionally, in actual design practice, it provides inspiration for architects. The book includes six parts: Proportion, Geometric Forms, Symmetry, Decomposition, Deep and Surface, and Layer Composition.
