| Abstract |
The Chinese Architect Wangshu, who won the Pritzker Architecture Prize at 2012, is the first and only winner in China. This study focused
on the expression of his unique architectural ideas. Especially with a high interest in Chinese traditional calligraphy and landscape painting,
Wangshu tried to use its traditional features to form his own architectural way. First this study looked at the features of calligraphy and
landscape painting. Second this research studied the expression of Wangshu’s architectural practice in calligraphy’s way. Lastly this study
furthered study of Wangshu’s architecture combined with landscape paintings’ features. The results state these following. 1) For calligraphy,
he used the “modular composition” of Chinese characters to architectural composition, which included architectural form and materials. The
“similarities” and “space creation” of calligraphy are respectively applied to architectural spatial details and site planning. 2) For landscape
painting, Wangshu borrows its elements to compose his architecture with “gardening consciousness”. The “view method” of paintings was
used to his architectural pedestrian flows, and Wangshu also based on the “space creation” of landscape painting to do architectural space
design with creating the similar atmosphere. |
