1引言我是一名国家注册结构工程师,做了无数的建筑项目结构专业设计,天天跟梁柱板墙基础钢筋打交道,但学校老师没有告诉我建筑是什么,建筑为什么要这么建。为什么中国的寺殿从长边进,而日本与欧洲的宗教建筑从短边(山墙)进?为什么西方的建筑教堂与住宅区别明显,而中国传统建筑的宅院衙署宫殿寺院基本相似?为什么欧洲有多立克科林斯柱头,中国有斗拱。为什么很多中国传统建筑花窗贴纸,舌头就可以添开,而不讲究保温隔热隔音等?于是我年过不惑,去湖大的建筑学院课堂上听老师讲中西方文化对比,听老师讲西方艺术史,听老师讲中国传统建筑史, I. INTRODUCTION I am a registered structural engineer in the country. I did countless architectural design projects, and dealt with steel beams and columns on a daily basis. However, the school teacher did not tell me what the building was and why the building was so constructed. Why are temples in China moving in from the long side, and religious buildings in Japan and Europe moving from the short side (gabled)? Why are western architectural churches and residential buildings distinctly different from those of traditional Chinese architecture? Why Europe Doric Corinth stigma, China has brackets. Why do a lot of traditional Chinese architectural windows stickers, the tongue can be Tim open, without regard to insulation and sound insulation, etc. So I am over-puzzled, to the Lake University School of Architecture class to listen to the teacher to tell the contrast between Chinese and Western cultures, listening to the teacher speak the West Art history, listen to the teacher talk about the history of Chinese traditional architecture,
