The View Tower's Design Studies

The tower is an important composition element of the view in the regional environment. The view-tower, as a product of highly developed social productivity and cultural activities, becomes a new building type, which embodied both the material characteristics end the spiritual characteristics of the new era. It starts to play a big role in people's life as well as urban landscape. The view-tower building has lofty art, ages felling and character characteristic, The controlling and significant characteristic in the regional environment are that the tower is different from other types. In which discerning the regional environment,stressing the regional characteristic,controlling the regional order,reflecting such a lot of respects such as urban history and culture in the regional environment etc.;It play an important role. Meanwhile,the view tower still has the development trend which its function compounds trend which its function compounds.Firstly, to make up this text,we discuss the view tower in its origin,development,function,classification and its composition then explained the characteristic of the view-tower's form. Combining such relevant theories as vision,environmental psychology, aesthetics of the building and urban design etc., we have discussed the design principle of the view-tower in the controlling and significant angle,Consulted a large number of documents and materials of the view tower which is from investigation and research materials, we discuss the design method of project-Anqing view-tower medium for the further investigation.This text carries on the research that it analyzes a lot of view tower instances in different forms, and it has offered the corresponding design principle and methods. Combine these design project-Anqing medium, various oriels which analyzes view-tower a building design is how instruction function have in concretely the design and can verify.The view tower is such a little component in the view of cityscape or the natural landscape, but the systematical analysis and the methods of the controlling and significant characteristic have offered some theories and practice meaning to urban design, landscape design and architectural design.
