The Application of Traditional Building Materials in Modern Architecture

Abstract

In modern buildings, with the continuous development of material science and building technology, the decorative manifestations of traditional building materials are emancipated from conventional restrictions. Supported by new processing techniques and ideas, they are endowed with new interpretations. Besides, many forceful manifestation techniques are thus formed. In particular, in some buildings dotted with intensively regional characteristics, by combining local emotional traditional materials and modern technology, the continuity of traditional materials and technology is highlighted in modern architectural structures. The continuity not only grants traditional materials with modern and artistic decorative functions, but also intensively demonstrates traditional emotions of modern buildings by combining different traditional materials’ properties and new materials, adopting their advantages and avoiding the deficiencies.
