195 1 Mr. Wu published an article in People's Daily, calling for attention to architectural education and making suggestions in order to cultivate the new force of infrastructure construction more effectively, and then repeatedly put forward suggestions such as combining the construction industry with architectural education. He pointed out that Wang Juyuan, a professor at Agricultural University, and Tsinghua University Agricultural University, together with beautification professionals, were the first students majoring in landscape planning and design in Tsinghua University and China, and later became the predecessors of the Department of Landscape Planning of Beijing Forestry University.
1952 National colleges and universities were adjusted, and the former Peking University Department of Technology and Engineering was merged into the Tsinghua University Department of Architecture, which expanded rapidly. Mr. Wu is the deputy director of the department, presiding over the daily teaching and administrative management of the building. His attention began to draw lessons from foreign experience and pay attention to the architecture department that formulated new teaching plans from the national conditions and professional teaching characteristics. After several years' efforts, the faculty of the Department of Architecture in Tsinghua University has been continuously enriched, the number of students has been further increased, the teaching quality has been steadily improved, and it has quickly become the most influential country, and a teaching center has been established. For decades, his rigorous style of study has always adhered to the front line of teaching. In the early 1950s, the first batch of graduate students were instructed by architectural tutors, the first batch of doctoral tutors were approved by the State Council in 198 1, and 1984 was the winner of doctoral degree in urban planning and design in China. The research project he presided over was awarded the Education Science and Technology Progress Award by the State Education Commission at the Beijing Olympic Games and the Asian Games. Now, he is instructing 20 doctors and graduate students, many of whom have high academic value and practical benefits, and have been well evaluated. In recent years, two doctoral dissertations have chosen three buildings, under the guidance of Professor Wu.
In his 80-year doctoral thesis, Mr. Wu carefully studied the western modern architectural education of the pilot selection system in China, summed up the achievements and shortcomings in the development of architectural teaching, and put forward opinions and suggestions on architectural education in China: "establishing a multi-level educational structure, widely cultivating all kinds of architectural talents, combining educational institutions, research institutions with production practice", and attaching importance to the field of vocational education. "Attaching importance to the relationship between architects' social culture and society" and "Architectural design teaching will expand the creation and design of living environment" are the general characteristics, and architectural education in China is an active strategy for the development of architecture. He actively promoted the structure of the department. Tsinghua University was transformed into a school building in 1988, and a number of professionals trained in Tsinghua University have produced architecture, urban planning and landscape architecture. He devoted himself to exploring the road with China characteristics in the construction of open teaching, and also made important contributions, which promoted the educational reform and had a great influence at home and abroad. in view of
He has made great contributions in the field of architectural education and won the UIA Education Review Award in 1996.
Lucy's body became
It is more difficult to protect the history books of western architectural decorative stones and the folk history books of ancient buildings in China. From 1978, Mr. Wu began a lot of research on the transformation of the old city center, and then entered the planning and design work, transforming dangerous houses and building new courtyards. Based on the concept of "organic renewal theory and engineering quadrangle housing system meet the needs of modern life while adapting to the environment and texture of the old city", with the support of the Beijing Municipal Government, Mr. Wu presided over the planning and design of the quadrangle reconstruction project of Beijing Juer Hutong. Mr. Wu believes that a city is the metabolism of a living body. If the "mummy" is protected, it is of course contradictory to the city. It is regarded as a living organism, not a big demolition and building, but a city with "metabolism", which is organically updated step by step, protecting urban culture, eliminating dead cells and repairing "new units", restoring microcirculation and reusing corresponding old buildings. Mr. Wu divided hutong houses into three quality types: the houses with better quality were built in the 1970s and should be preserved, and the dilapidated houses repaired by existing courtyards should be demolished and rebuilt. According to the "courtyard-like design", the transformation of Chrysanthemum Kid Hutong basically maintains the advantages of the original Hutong quadrangle, the receiving unit building and the quadrangle, and only reasonably arranges the indoor space of each household to meet the needs of residents' modern life, forming a relatively independent neighborhood structure and public space for residents to communicate through the courtyard.
The transformation of Juer Hutong has been fully affirmed in China and the international architectural community. 199 1, the pilot project of Juer Hutong won the Excellent Design Award, which was the Asian Gold Award and the World Habitat Award of the Regional Council of Architects in 1992. 1990 a famous British architectural critic once said that it has played a certain guiding role in the transformation of Juer Hutong in developing countries in Asia. Mr. Wu believes that this is the essential transformation of Juer Hutong. According to this idea, all his projects are oriented to solving practical problems in China. Teacher Wu emphasized that everyone is talking about creativity, not just empty talk, but doing practical things. In the past 20 years, everything he has done is to find a road suitable for urban planning and construction.
Due to the reform and opening up, various architectural schools have flooded into China, which has had a great impact on urban construction. In just 20 years, although there are many houses, these undigested foreign cities that destroy the original background and texture have become "experimental fields" for foreign architects or quasi-masters to "do something unconventional" in China. On this issue, Mr. Wu Can can't help but look angry. "This doesn't mean that I can't learn from the West. I'm not against non-tradition. This is precisely the most needed culture and art. I am an international student. Of course, we should learn from foreign countries, but you can't copy the success of some of them, some of them are unsuccessful, and some even think that they are short-lived and they are the future of China. This is unacceptable. " It is obviously a misunderstanding and loss to lose some basic architectural norms, ignore China culture, inherit and develop under the neglected historical background, and give up exploring the historical and cultural connotation of China. Unfortunately, the architect's own understanding of China culture is not enough. Wu is deeply worried about this. "We learn advanced science and technology in the process of globalization to create a world-class culture. At the same time, we should have a spiritual cultural consciousness, self-esteem and cultural attitude, as well as cultural self-improvement. The combination of middle school and western learning.
Designed by Confucius Institute in Qufu, Shandong Province, presided over by Mr. Wu. Wu Shuo: "At present, some buildings are in good locations, especially some cultural buildings, but there is no China culture in them. I am very hurt. In terms of design, we have established the Confucius Institute, which is located in a specific place (Confucius' hometown) and has a special function (researching and developing the contents of Confucian culture). It must be a modern building, and it must have a unique cultural connotation in the construction of cultural villages. In the post-Warring States period, the construction, development, shape and composition of China Academy of Social Sciences were discussed by discussing the internal and external modeling and overall layout, including decorative patterns. Then the use of western and China's architectural techniques is a modern image expression, creating a "new sense of joy in the holy land." The whole design is unique and is called the landmark building of urban modernization.
Mr. Wu believes that a country with a long history like China can let architects and planners make a big fuss about this issue. "There are almost many cities. With rich knowledge of history, geography and culture, science and art should meet the needs of the unified construction of 2 1 century, and the expansion of science also needs artistic creation. The pursuit of height, barbarism and skill in art can explain a lesson that we architects must make up. " Wu earnestly reminded.
Blue sky, green land, clean water, clean, quiet and comfortable environment and living environment are the basic requirements of human beings and their sustainable development. However, in the past half century, human consumption of resources will also destroy the environment, which is almost equal to the sum of eternity. Humans enjoy civilization and create human brains, but they are also punished by nature. After paying a heavy price, men finally realize that attitude must change human nature. How to create a beautiful living environment has become an eternal theme.
Mr. Wu, the founder of China Institute of Human Settlements Science, believes that in the process of "big science" today, "the development of human settlements needs to include buildings, cities and regions, and it is a complex giant system". Facing the complex natural and social development problems and the methodology of complex science, it must be explored and solved through multi-disciplines. For example, he said, in the past, we thought that architecture was an architect's business, but later it was related to urban planning and the social phenomenon of live broadcast of architecture. To solve these problems, we need many aspects of urban architecture, not piecemeal measures. Put the discussion of settlement, region, culture, science, technology, economy, art, policies, regulations, education and even architecture in a broad framework to form a philosophical point of view, and further focus on "living environment" to liberate professional thinking.
Mr. Wu said that his life goal is to create a good living environment and live in harmony with nature. Such people can be very poetic and like living on the earth. This is the pursuit of an architect. 1989, Wu wrote a monograph of150,000 words-Generalized Architecture Publishing based on decades of theoretical and practical experience in architecture and urban planning. This is an academic paper of 10, which is divided into residence theory, region theory, culture theory, science and technology theory, politics theory, enterprise theory, education theory, art theory, method and extensive framework. It is China's first theoretical work on modern framework system, and his updating research has carried out rational discussion and conceptual framework in a broad sense. This book reveals the essence, universality and comprehensiveness of architectural engineering discipline and scientific demonstration from a wider scope and at a higher level. On the basis of China's national conditions, pertinence, historical experience of combining theory with practice, digesting and absorbing foreign related theories and summarizing, this paper shows a systematic theoretical research framework, that is, the system structure of existing problems in China's construction industry, and various suggestions on urban planning and design in actual construction. Enthusiastic construction workers must cultivate noble social responsibility and professional ethics. This is the main research direction that Mr. Liang Sicheng, Mr. Lin, Mr. Wang and Mr. Wang have been trying to find suitable architecture under the influence of academic and western, new and old. After the publication of this book, it aroused widespread concern. As an architect, the construction industry in China needs to understand it. 199 1 won the first prize of scientific and technological progress of the state education commission.
1999, the 20th World Congress of Architects was held in Beijing, which adopted the Beijing Charter drafted by Professor Wu. For the interpretation of the articles of association, Professor Wu also published a book "Meditation on Future Architecture" at the turn of the century, and put forward some new opinions at the critical moment of architectural history development. In recent years, two tendencies have been widely circulated in international design circles, namely, advocating chaotic formalism and advocating supremacy formalism, which have formed a strong contrast. Formalism opposes all kinds of rules, and thinks that the formal rules of application programs are because they should be. Although the opposition between them is so obvious, they come from the same theory, and any problems in construction exist in isolated forms and narrow areas. In addition, I get a sign of pleasure expression or advertising consideration, adopt a lot of advanced technical means to meet another characteristic of the passionate people of the times, analyze the style and type of expression in a complicated form, and then establish a dream form, which means that there has never been such advanced technology, because it is the most luxurious today, and I have never succumbed to formalistic fantasy, curiosity and infatuation like today.
Revision of regulations
Do not seek the overall situation, not enough for a domain, not for the world, not for a moment. "Mr. Wu has made unremitting efforts to promote the urban development and rationality of Beijing in recent years. Mr. Wu began to study the regional planning of rapid development and construction in the mid-1980s and late 1990s. Urban construction planning, put forward opinions and suggestions, entrusted by Beijing Municipal Government in 2002. As the main promoter and maker of Beijing's urban spatial development strategy, its main regional planning and construction, such as: perfecting the central axis on the new avenue and the central axis of Chang 'an, strengthening the eastern development zone and the western ecological zone, creating the spatial pattern of urban areas, and connecting the urban center with the sub-center, multi-center and multi-repair by subway.
Real urban planning and regional planning. The strategic problems of urban development cannot be arranged scientifically and reasonably, and the overall solution of a city's development direction and spatial order can be realized. However, due to the lack of regional planning theory and practice, as a group, the development status of China's three major cities, namely, Beijing, Tianjin, Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta, is not satisfactory. On the one hand, due to the lack of division of labor and cooperation between Beijing and Tianjin, the same development of the industrial structure of the two major cities in the region has declined in Tianjin. On the other hand, the lack of coordination area leads to the net prosperity around the city, which is a backward village. Beijing, a big city in this region, has always been only a surrounding construction area, so much so that it will make a big fuss about building an ancient city on the subway, which is not only not conducive to the protection of famous historical and cultural cities, but also will form a "pie" model of the old city with a single center and the expansion of a circle, which will make the employment of the city, pay too much attention to the city where the suburban population in the central area comes to work every day, and the traffic environment problem will continue to deteriorate.
"We must study the development of Beijing from a larger spatial scope, focus on solving regional development strategies, including Beijing, Tianjin, northern Hebei, and many cities including Beijing, and then solve the problems of Beijing." Soon, he made such a request, which finally became a reality today.
Watercolor painting
Wu, with a modest manner, seems to be a literator with temperament, an artist with a heavy temperament and an architect with temperament. Mr. Wu is like a painting. Especially when he entered the architecture department of Chongqing Central University, famous Chinese painting masters Xu Beihong, Wu Zuoren and Fu Baoshi tutored in the fine arts department of the school. Mr. Wu was lucky enough to listen to their speeches, enjoy their art exhibitions, watch their teaching and deeply appreciate their art and culture. In the years after graduation, he traveled all over Chongqing, Guizhou and Yunnan, painting on foot, and many excellent paintings have come out. Mr. Wu told the author that he has held seven exhibitions so far, the first one was at 1949, and the latest one was on his 80th birthday. He regrets that many precious paintings will be lost later because of war and various sports or other reasons. 1990 Mr. Wu was nominated as an honorary academician of the American Institute of Architects and was called "one of the pioneers of architecture and urban planning in New China, an outstanding architectural educator, a famous watercolor painter and a prolific writer".
Architecture needs a lot of talents. Mr. Wu said that because of his rich experience, careful consideration and theoretical training, he felt obliged to guide young colleagues as much as possible at any time. Mr. Wu, who is over eighty years old, is still committed to the urban planning concepts of China in the new century, such as regional planning, living environment and old city reconstruction.
