图形符号元素在中国的建筑中应用极其广泛,建筑的形式美离不开图形符号的表现。本文通过阅读童寯先生设计的南京外交部大楼,认为童寯先生将民族图形符号以元素的形式大量的运用在建筑中,赋予了建筑另一种美学意义,再与西方的建筑符号进行比较,突出了中国建筑美的独特性。 Graphic symbol elements are widely used in China’s buildings, the form of the building can not be separated from the performance of graphic symbols. By reading the building of Nanjing Foreign Affairs Office designed by Mr. Tong Yong, this paper argues that Mr. Tong Yong used a large number of national graphic symbols in buildings in the form of elements, giving the building another aesthetic significance and comparing with the western architectural symbols. Highlight the uniqueness of Chinese architectural beauty.
