The Study Of Design Strategies Of Contemporary Mat-building

Mat-building is a prototype building which is put forward and developed by“Team 10” in the middle of the 20 th century,with large scale level ductility and the texture features such as spatial organization form.Influenced by the structuralism thoughts at that time,it aims to criticize and correct the attitude of the emphasis on early modernist functionalism,mechanical,human ignorance,community life ignorance.Due to failing to accurately grasp the contradiction between the social psychology and the logic of the building spatial organization,this architecture prototype advocates "Team 10",exposed many problems in their construction practice.Which also leads the gradually decline and lose of voice of the mat-building in the seventies of the 20 th century.However,mat-building raised again at the end of the20 th century,and it possessed different semantics.Contemporary mat-building continued the strategy of weakening form by relationship,and it has been developed in variety operation means during the practice of different architects.In the meanwhile,affected by the field theory,mat-building begins to explore the new relationship between city,environment and landscape.Through literature review and proper analysis to the mat-building,this paper attempts to re-explore its meaning,analysis probably failure reasons,conclude its new features in contemporary era,and propose warnings for its future development.This paper is mainly separated into four parts: the first part analysis the beginning,development,decline and revive of mat-building;the second part stated the different strategies of architecture spatial organization of mat-building in early and contemporary time;the third part analysis the generation and change of the gap space,which is the core space of contemporary mat-building;the forth part discussed the new relationship between contemporary mat-building,environment and cities.
