Features: This is a vivid book introducing the world's new architectural art language in the past decade. The author has extensively visited new outstanding architectural examples both domestically and internationally, and has accomplished this book based on a large number of translations of books from abroad that introduce famous architects and their works in recent years. The materials collected in this book are extensive, highly representative, and can be said to be the ideal book for domestic scholars, graduate students, and undergraduates to understand the current trends in world architecture, learn the design ideas of famous foreign architects, and draw design inspiration from the most representative architectural works in the world today. After introducing the functions and spatial construction characteristics of contemporary architectural language, the book then provides a detailed introduction to technology (comparative language), context (place language), nature (ecological language), and art (inner language), which are the four major sources of architectural creation. Reading this book can help readers sort out the clear head of the chaotic world of contemporary architectural schools.
