| With the continuous development of society, the natural sciences and Humanities and Social Sciences gradually recognized the complexity of scientific "study of nonlinear and complexity" as a new research paradigm. It brings us a new perspective when we explore the phenomena of contemporary architecture and trends in the epidermis, Contemporary Western avant-garde architects are trying to study the complexity of the building from all different angles. The architectural design of these traditional rules such as balanced, stable, symmetrical, uniform can no longer reflect the new cultural and spiritual needs of the times and instead appear to momentum, wonderful, and complex characteristics of the new architectural forms.This article attempts to combine nonlinear science thinking with research methods of architectural skin and explores the manifestations of contemporary non-linear architecture and the underlying causes of the formation of the skin using "nonlinear thinking" as cognitive style, with the change of Nature, Science and the way of thinking that induced nonlinear science. To explore contemporary manifestations of non-linear architecture and the formation of the epidermis underlying causes of contemporary proposed the formation mechanism of nonlinear architectural surface for future reference and reference architecture creation. It presents contemporary architectural skin generation mechanism of nonlinear and provides for future reference for architectural creation.This article starts with analyzing the characteristics of the contemporary nonlinear architectural skin and bases on many related theories as the basis, in-depth exploring the contemporary nonlinear architectural skin design from the three aspects of cognitive development, the basic characteristics and the source of its theory. Theories as the basis, in-depth exploration of the contemporary design of nonlinear Building skin of Based thinking, cognitive development and basic content of the three aspects. Then, through the field investigation, theoretical analysis, case summary, induction and deduction and other research methods, combining abundant examples, conceptual design, and examples appear in design contest based on the expression of design, this article analyzes comprehensively Contemporary Nonlinear Building Skin from the form of performance and technology generation aspects. In the form of performance levels, from the four aspects of chaos theory, geometric theory, catastrophe theory and Pop Art, it discusses the design of contemporary nonlinear methods of architectural skin, including three design methods-nonlinear chaotic performance, the geometry performance of the logic of law and performance of diversity information; In the technical support level, firstly it discusses the technical support of materials technology for the generation of Nonlinear architectural skin and describes the generation of non-linear building skin according to the different attributes that different materials exhibit, Secondly, it analyzes the impact of technology from the structure formation to generate non-linear architecture of the epidermis. Thirdly , it analyzes the generation of Nonlinear architectural skin under the influence of ecological technology from Eco-design methods and the role of different physical environment. And finally, it explained the generation of Non-linear architectural skin under the Digital Graphic Technology.Today, the study of nonlinear architectural skin has got more and more attentions, the purpose of this paper lies in the research for the design of nonlinear architectural skin to summarizes and make skin of contemporary architectural design of nonlinear comprehensive understanding of the relative angle, and to forecast the future trends of nonlinear skin design. This has the double meaning of reality and theory for the research of building skin. |
