Features: When conducting architectural design, various ideas emerge. When expressing these ideas in concrete forms or spaces, 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, particularly in the history of modern and contemporary architecture, explains the basic techniques of architectural composition. It serves as a fundamental textbook for architecture students. Additionally, it offers inspiration for architects in actual design practice. The book covers six sections: Proportion, Geometric Forms, Symmetry, Decomposition, Deep and Surface, and Layer Composition. This book is suitable for architecture students, faculty, and design professionals as a reference.
