A new but familiar
figure
Contextualism
Based on the ideology of zeitgeist, it resists the dominance of modern architecture that
determines architecture as an object and is completed through 16 years of urban research
and design experiments.
The Contextualism discourse, which was the basis of this book, is that the form of
architecture and urban space is
It's a paradox that it's the context around you that decides.
Contextualism reflects the existing surrounding shape and spatial order,
introducing a 'new but familiar' shape, and extending the context through
this.
