Comparative Study On The Development Rules Of Works Of Louis Kahn, Frank Gehry And Tadao Ando

With the speed of urbanization，constructions develops more and more quickly inchina. But most architecture built or being built just fulfill the functions of use,standards and norms and lack of architectural art. Although many architects learn fromthe great masters in the design，they generally stay at blind imitation of style and genreand piece the forms together，so they can’t understand and master the nature behind thearchitecture art forms.Because of the special historical background, social issues, regional culturecharacteristics, the architect’s unique life experience and thoughts, etc, the architecturalform of each style differ from one another and each has its unique characteristics.However, now that architecture can develop into an art and science, there are someprinciples inevitably deep hided in the rich and varied forms. The three master architectsLouis Kahn, Frank Gehry and Tadao Ando each has unique and representativecharacteristics in life experience, education background, philosophy, era backgroundand architectural form styles. The paper studies planes of works of the three architecturemasters to explore the rule and essence of art behind their works. At the same time, itcan cause some thinking for architectural design and architectural education in China.According to puts aside surface factors such as specific functions, environment,forms, material, structure and so on and abstract and simplified the planes, the paperresearch on the representative works of three architecture great master geometricanalysis on geometric figures. Through comparison and analysis, it explores theindividuality and common characteristics of the rule of geometry plane of the threearchitectural masters. And combining with the life times, regional culture and so on, itprobes into the reasons behind the law.
