Preface  

In human development process, our society never stopped exploring the means to  control and adapt to nature, and at the same time gradually identify its position on the  earth. Architecture uses its special and abstract methods to give people a sense of safety,  confidence and aesthetics. To be specific, architecture is an artificial and physical  environment formed by people using certain material conditions, It is built by people  through shaping, organizing and perfecting space, with the consideration of certain  scientific rules and aesthetic requirements, to meet the needs of life. Architecture can be  divided into two types: buildings and structures. Buildings refer to the house used for  human life, work, study and other activities, such as residential buildings, office buildings  and schools. Structures are some subsidiary buildings added to make the building have  better performance, like chimneys and TV towers. Therefore, architecture has an  important position in the entire process of national economic development and urban  construction engineering.  Architectural design conception and architectural design creativity are two closely  related but divergent processes. Just like the relationship between writing and reading,  they work on the same objects, but with different aims and methods. Like novel writing,  during the architecture design process, we need to fully understand various existing  conditions, compare different routes and possibilities, form an overall framework, and  conduct conceptual abstract thinking and set various touching details, in order to complete  the whole work, which is more like a comprehensive process. And the architectural design  conception process is like reading. We will try to understand the thinking process of tthe  architects, establishing connections between different factors, and comparing them with  other similar works. This is more like an analysis process.  This book mainly starts with the conception of architectural design. Through in-depth  research on the basis and methods of conception, it presents in details each step of the  entire architectural design stage, so as to better explain the architectural design process. 

前 言

人类社会在发展的过程中持续探寻着对自然进行控制和适应的手段，同时逐渐 确定自身在地球上的地位。建筑能够使用特殊、抽象的方法给予人们安全、自信和 审美的感受。具体来说，建筑是人们为了满足对生活的需求，使用一定的物质条件， 根据科学法则和美学要求，通过对空间进行塑造，组织和完善而形成的人造物质环 境。建筑可以分为建筑物和构造物两类。其中，建筑物是指用于人类生活、工作、 学习等活动的房屋。如住宅、办公楼和学校等。构造物则是为了使建筑物具有更好 的使用性能而添加的一些辅助建筑，如烟囱、电视塔等。因此，建筑在整个国民经 济发展和城镇的建设工程中具有重要的地位。 建筑设计构思与建筑设计创意是两个密切相关但又不同的过程。就像写作和阅 读的关系，它们的工作对象是一致的，然而目的和手段却不尽相同。和小说的创作 过程一样，在设计过程中，为了最终完成作品，要充分了解各种现有条件，比较不 同的路线和可能性，形成整体的框架，还要进行概念化的抽象思考，设置各种动人 的细节，这更像是一个综合的过程。而建筑设计构思的过程好比是阅读，试图理解 建筑师的思考过程，在不同的因素间建立起联系，并与其他类似的作品进行比较， 这更像是个分析的过程。 本书主要是从建筑设计的构思入手，通过深入研究构思的基础、方法等方面的 研究，详细将整个建筑设计阶段的各个环节进行呈现，从而更好地实现对于建筑设 计过程的掌握。
