776. Decoration style

Civil construction is in full swing, and the architectural style does not play any tricks, it is the most ordinary architectural style, the kind full of modernity.

Of course, there are many kinds of architectural styles, our ancient Chinese buildings are mainly wooden buildings, and the traditional Western buildings are mainly brick and stone structures. Modern buildings are mainly made of reinforced concrete.

Ancient Chinese architecture has a simple and elegant style, mainly with thatch, wood, bricks and tiles as building materials, with wood structure as the structural mode, basically columns, beams, fangs, purlins, rafters and other components, according to the actual size, shape and spacing of the structure needs to be combined together. This way of building reflects the clarity, order, and stability of the ancient patriarchal social structure.

Since the beams and columns made of wood are not easy to form a huge internal space, the ancient buildings cleverly used the natural space of the outer city to form a courtyard. The courtyard is the basic unit of architecture, it is both closed and open, it is both artificial and natural, you can plant flowers and trees, look up at the wind and clouds, the sun and the moon, become another manifestation of the ancients' concept of "the unity of heaven and man", and also embody the national character of the Chinese people who are both subtle and introverted, and pioneering and enterprising.

In ancient times, the slightly larger buildings were all composed of several courtyards, and a single building and courtyard were arranged along a certain direction, with primary and secondary, key points and transitions, becoming a layered and deep space, presenting an overall beauty and profound beauty pursued by the Chinese people. Among them, palaces, temples and other more solemn buildings, often along the central axis one after another longitudinal arrangement of the main buildings, on both sides of the symmetrical arrangement of secondary buildings, the layout is balanced and stretched, fascinating.

The ancients were able to use design techniques such as balance, harmony, symmetry, and light and dark axes to achieve beautiful results very early. Chinese architecture heavy art decoration, but not complicated, only in the main parts of the key decoration, such as the eaves, lintels, ridges, etc., the layout is mostly balanced direction of development, not heavy high-rise buildings, to Buddhism after the introduction, there is a pavilion pagoda, high-rise buildings can prevail. All the artistic processing of the building is also the processing of the structural system and components, such as the combination of color, decoration and components, constituting a rich and splendid artistic achievement, carved beams and paintings, beautiful and colorful shapes;

Chinese architecture is flourishing, including palaces, cemeteries, temples, palaces, gardens, bridges, towers, etc.

But this is not what Zhou Fangyuan needs, the ancient buildings are beautiful or good-looking, but the cost is also high, and the manufacturing is particularly time-consuming and laborious. Moreover, this time I found foreign designers, they do not have a deep understanding of ancient Chinese architecture, they can only say that they understand a little, and they expect this group of foreigners to do a good job of ancient Chinese architecture, then they can basically wash and sleep.

In the same way, Western-style ancient buildings also have this problem. Western-style ancient buildings, pay attention to the brick and stone structure, the architecture of this architecture in general, is simpler than the ancient Chinese buildings, because it does not have so polygonal corners and fragments, and there is no deep cultural connotation requirements, but the problem is that on the difficulty of construction, Western-style ancient buildings are obviously not under the ancient Chinese buildings at all, and the cost is also extremely high. It's not that Zhou Fang can't afford this money, it's just that there's no need, this club is just his test of the waters, and there's no need to really follow the world's top path.

So in the end, I chose a very modern style.

From the outbreak of the Opium War in 1840 to the founding of the new country in 1949, China's architecture began to show the characteristics of the intersection of China and the West and the diversity of styles.

During this period, the traditional Chinese old building system still occupied the numerical advantage, but the entertainment industry, service industry buildings such as theaters, restaurants, inns, and commercial buildings such as department stores, shopping malls, and vegetable markets generally broke through the traditional architectural pattern, expanded the space for interpersonal activities, and established Western-style storefronts that combined Chinese and Western styles; Western architectural styles were also presented in the architectural activities of China, and foreign consulates, foreign banks, banks, restaurants, clubs, and other foreign buildings appeared in the former concession cities such as Shanghai, Tianjin, Island City, and Bingcheng.

During this period, modern national architecture also appeared, which achieved the unity of new functions, new technologies, new shapes and national styles.

Then, after the establishment of the new country, China's construction entered a new historical period, and the large-scale and planned national economic construction promoted the vigorous development of the construction industry. China's modern architecture has broken through the limitations of modern times in terms of quantity, scale, type, regional distribution and modernization level, showing a new attitude. Since the 80s of the last century, China's architecture has gradually tended to be open and compatible, and modern Chinese architecture has begun to develop in the direction of diversification.

Well, it sounds lofty, but it's actually the most common architectural style.

But that's enough, Zhou Fangyuan's requirements are not high, he just needs such a place to connect everyone.

In terms of internal style, the designer actually provided several plans, and when the two sides were still in the contact stage, the design company had already come up with several sets of plans for Zhou Fangyuan to make a preliminary choice.

These styles are the more common ones.

For example, the simple European style is characterized by curves and asymmetrical lines, such as flower stalks, flower buds, grapevines, insect wings, and various graceful and wavy patterns in nature, which are reflected in the decoration of walls, railings, window lattices, and furniture. Some of the lines are soft and elegant, while others are strong and rhythmic. The entire three-dimensional form is integrated with methodical, rhythmic curves. A large number of iron components are used, and new processes such as glass and ceramic tiles, as well as wrought iron products and pottery products are comprehensively used in the interior. It gives people a feeling of simplicity and atmosphere, thus reflecting simplicity but not simplicity.

There will be a very common pastoral style in two years, the pastoral style focuses on the expression of nature, different pastoral has different nature, each has its own characteristics, each has its own beauty. Inside, there are also divisions, mainly divided into English, French and American pastoral styles.

The characteristics of the English pastoral style are mainly in the gorgeous cloth and pure handmade production, the cloth is beautiful, and most of them are dominated by complex floral patterns. Florals, stripes and Scottish motifs are the timeless themes of the English countryside. The furniture is mostly made of pine and Tsubaki, and the production and carving are all handmade, which is very exquisite. The French pastoral mainly lies in the whitewashing treatment of the furniture and the bold color matching, with the bright color design scheme as the main color, the whitewashing treatment of the furniture can make the furniture show the classical beauty, and the red, yellow and blue color matching, it reveals the fertile scene of the land, and the simplified curling arc and exquisite decoration of the chair legs are also the embodiment of the French elegant country life.

American pastoral style, also known as American country style, belongs to a branch of natural style, advocating "return to nature", pastoral style in aesthetics to respect nature, combined with nature, in the indoor environment and strive to express leisurely, comfortable, natural pastoral life interest, but also often use natural wood, stone, rattan, bamboo and other materials simple texture. Clever indoor greening is set up to create a natural, simple and elegant atmosphere.

Postmodern styles are also common in the field of design, emphasizing the metaphor of form, symbolism, culture, and historical decorativeism. There is often a non-conceptual intuition that is foggy and not foggy, without losing the local cultural expression and the decorative expression of history. The eclectic stance of advocating the integration of the old and the new, and the inclusiveness, is a bit biased towards the golden mean, that is, exaggerated and implicit. Strengthen the ambiguity and banter of the design approach.

Of course, if you really want to talk about it, Chinese style may actually be the most commonly used design type in places like clubs that ordinary people know best. Chinese style is the pursuit of a self-cultivation of the state of life, the characteristics of Chinese traditional interior decoration art is the overall layout of symmetry and balance, upright and steady, and in the decorative details advocating natural taste, flowers, birds, fish and insects and other finely crafted, rich in change, fully embodies the spirit of China's traditional aesthetics. The representative of Chinese style is the classical traditional furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties, as well as the design of Chinese garden architecture and color

Sculpt. It is characterized by symmetry, simplicity, simplicity, elegant style and rich cultural connotation. Chinese-style home furnishings reflect the owner's high aesthetic taste and social status. The composition of the Chinese style is mainly reflected in the traditional furniture, decorations and decorative colors based on black and red. The interior mostly adopts a symmetrical layout, elegant style, simple and beautiful shape, and strong and mature colors.

And it is very obvious that once the Chinese style is done well, the pressure will be very high. In particular, after years of seeking foreign countries, the people have gradually begun to have a momentum of returning to their own local culture. I don't know how the above, anyway, the common people began to gradually "close their hearts", those things of foreigners are good, but think about it carefully, the old cultural objects that have been passed down from their own homes are also very good, which are more in line with the culture and living habits of the Chinese people, so in recent years, Chinese style has begun to rise rapidly, arousing the interest of more and more people.

However, this style was the first to be passed by Zhou Fangyuan, not that he didn't like Chinese style.

In fact, he likes Chinese style very much, and the courtyard on the island in the middle of Wenai Lake is not just a Chinese style? The reason why he refused, in the final analysis, is not quite in line with his requirements this time, what he wants is simplicity with a touch of atmosphere, after all, it is the first attempt, and he does not want to add too many complicated things in other aspects. The grade itself has not reached that height, and the bells and whistles are made, and these rich people here in Beitong may not be able to understand the connotation, and they may find it troublesome, but it is better to make it simpler directly, and it is a big deal to put more effort into the decorative materials.

In addition to the above-mentioned style surprises, there are also options such as European classical, Mediterranean, and Japanese.

Among them, the European classical style is noble and elegant, and the atmosphere is everywhere.

The European style mainly refers to the Western classical style. The typical classical European style emphasizes the use of gorgeous decoration, strong colors, and exquisite shapes to achieve a graceful and luxurious decorative effect. The European-style living room is topped with a large lamp pool and ornate chandeliers to create the atmosphere. The upper part of the doors and windows is mostly made into a circular arc and outlined with a patterned gypsum line. The interior has a real fireplace or a fake fireplace molding. The walls are painted with high-grade wallpaper or high-quality latex paint to enhance the luxurious effect.

Emphasis on dynamics, variety, and movement. Emphasis on synthesis, i.e. a building is decorated with a large number of carvings and ceiling paintings. The colleague is full of exaggeration, irrationality, lack of balance and proportion, overemphasizing ornamentation, and embellishing the decoration with columns in batches.

The Mediterranean style has a unique aesthetic character. Generally, choose natural soft colors, pay attention to space matching in combination design, make full use of every inch of space, integrate decoration and application, avoid triviality in combination and matching, appear generous and natural, and exude an ancient and noble pastoral atmosphere and cultural taste.

Arches and semi-arches, horseshoe-shaped doors and windows, white walls, low-color brightness, simple lines and sleek wooden furniture. Circular arches and cloisters are usually connected in several or vertically intersected, giving the impression of extension when walking around. At home, the walls can be semi-chiseled or fully chiseled to shape the indoor scenery windows. One of the most striking features of the Mediterranean style is the worn-in lacquer treatment on the furniture, which not only gives the furniture a timeless texture that can only be found in classical furniture, but also shows the natural traces of the furniture being eroded by the sea breeze under the blue sea and sunny days of the Mediterranean.

The style has a very unique way of decorating.

After constructing the basic spatial form, the Mediterranean-style decoration technique also has a distinctive characteristic. Mosaics and collages are some of the more ornate decorations in the Mediterranean style. It mainly uses small stones, tiles, shellfish, glass chips, glass beads and other materials, and then makes creative combinations after cutting. Inside, curtains, tablecloths, sofa covers, lampshades, etc., are dominated by low-chroma tones and cotton fabrics. The plain small pinflower stripe plaid pattern is the main style. In addition, the unique wrought iron furniture is also a unique aesthetic product of the Mediterranean style. At the same time, Mediterranean-style home should also pay attention to greening, climbing vines are common home plants, small and cute green potted plants are also often seen.

There is also a Japanese style, and the Japanese-style decoration is like sake.

The Japanese style is a Japanese-style style inherited from the early days of Fuso, and it complements the unique wooden architecture of Fuso. The space shape is extremely simple, the furniture is centered on the coffee table, and the wall uses wooden components as a grid geometric shape to echo the fine checkered wooden sliding doors and windows, and the space atmosphere is simple, elegant and soft. Generally, there is no more cumbersome decoration, and more attention is paid to the actual function. It's beautiful and comfortable enough, but the problem is that the business atmosphere is not strong enough and does not meet Zhou Fangyuan's requirements.

In the end, he chose a post-modern style, simple, atmospheric, and high-grade, this is his requirement, in fact, it is so simple.
