Orient And Occidental Architecture Imitating And Analogizing Differentia Compare And Development Research

All of the original social activities of human beings came from acquired imitation. As for architecture, there is no exception. Therefore, Architecture Imitating and Analogizing (generalized imitating and analogizing) should be a brand of academic subject with the longest history in architecture. Going along with the development of human beings, Architecture Imitating and Analogizing experiences all the flux and changes of the human society, closely related to every aspect of the society such as philosophy, science and culture. Since the ancient times, the world civilization has evolved and shaped into the orient civilization represented by China and occidental civilization represented by Europe and America. The theory of the orient and occidental architecture imitating and analogizing and their development show truly the enormous difference between the orient holism and the occidental reductionism, as well as the disparate views of the respective architecture theory on technique and culture. With the theoretical basic of the ancestor's research and study, this dissertation analyzes the profound philosophic and human root of architecture imitating and analogizing—a special subject in architecture, and establishes a foundation for studying and comparing the difference of the orient and occident architecture and analogizing theories systematically and comprehensively in advance. Finally, it foresees boldly the future development of architecture imitating and analogizing of both China and the world, based on the whole developing trend of the world subject which is integrating the orient holism and occidental reductionism, as well as the recognition of renewing the Chinese traditional science and culture. According to the textual research, this dissertation has been the first one concentrating on the difference of the orient and occidental architecture imitating and analogizing and doing research systematically and comprehensively on the differences at many points of view such as philosophy, scientific method, history and culture. In addition, the study sets the research method of integrating the orient holism and occidental reductionism as the theoretical basic of the analyzing comparatively the difference of the eastern and western architecture innovatively. Thus, this paper is of the innovative value and guiding sense on the methodolody. Besides, this paper also contributes to extending the parochial occidental concept of imitating and analogizing to a more generalized extension and dredging up the soul of the Chinese architecture imitating and analogizing. It presents a medi-platform of the inosculation and development of the eastern and western architecture in this style which both belong to the system of imitating and analogizing. At the same time, it shows the developing trend of world subject which is that the micro-science tends to the macro-science.
