The Study Of Nonlinear Forms Of Architecture In The Era Of Information

Through the study of the relationship between the evolution of architectural styles and that of the science, this dissertation discovered that, by the way of modifying architects' view of the world and then their "artistic volition" based on their view of the world, the science could have an effect on the styles of architecture resulted from their "artistic volition". This may be a historic rule of the evaluations of architecture: new science leads to new architecture.Today the science is on the way of changing itself from linear to nonlinear, which means that some complex phenomenon that was invisible to the science comes into its view now, and consequently, people's view of the world become to change. Accordingly, nonlinear architecture, a kind of new architecture, is seemly suggested by the new science, nonlinear science. Currently, works by the avant-courier architects are verifying the rule. The new architecture is booming.In order to grasp the new tendency, this dissertation is trying to cut through sections of contemporary philosophy, aesthetics, forms (including shape, space, structure and surface), geometry and embodiment of the new architecture, and then analyzes how the architecture combines with the nonlinear.
