Features: Architecture, as a vital carrier of human living civilization, reflects on one hand, the material functionality in an ecological sense; on the other hand, it embodies the spiritual function that exists above the material functionality, both of which are interdependent and mutually permeating. Therefore, architectural criticism, which takes architects and their works as the object category, must encompass the value judgment of both the material and spiritual functions of architecture. The authors of this book strive to clarify many misconceptions within the realm of architectural criticism and are committed to building a systematic theoretical framework for architectural criticism. The book also provides numerous examples to illustrate propositions such as the essential significance of architecture, its aesthetic and cultural values, and the entire process of architectural activity. The book is characterized by its rich illustrations and strong readability.
