Classic and modern aesthetics in Chinese architecture
Modern architectural concepts and treatment methods are also used in the indoor and outdoor space and architectural details, making the building manifest the overall artistic effect of integration of the past and present.
The Shaanxi History Museum is a representative of the orientation of tradition inheritance in the late 1980s with imitation of roof forms as the main characteristic.
In her following "Three Tang-style projects" after the Shaanxi History Museum, Zhang Jinqiu eliminated buildings with "big roofs."
The "Three Tang-style projects" is the collective name for three buildings related to Tang Dynasty (618-907) culture in the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda (the Cien Temple Pagoda) scenic area in Xi'an's southern suburbs: the Garden Hotel, the Tang singing and dancing hall in the southeast and the Tang art display hall closest to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda.
Because the "Three Tang-style projects" were close to the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda, the designer went out of her way to realize harmony with the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda and its historical environment in terms of architectural design, size, height, shape, style and color.
The distance from the strictly symmetrical Cien Temple to the ancient pagoda is highlighted with the ancient pagoda as the background, while the architectural size and height shows rhythmic changes, and meanwhile the good bird's eye view from the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda is also fully considered.
There are many similar works such as the Confucius temple market building complex in Nanjing completed in 1985 and the Pavilion of Prince Teng in Nanchang completed in 1990.
