建筑风格的对比

本文主要讲述的是不同类的建筑风格各自的好处，进一步引申到可持续发展设计与公益设计的发展的paper范文。文中主要先对现在的建筑风格进行简单介绍描述，进一步指出现在风格存在好与坏的弊端，最后再得出引入现在的一些新的设计理念与风格，以环保与可持续发展为主。

In modern society, architecture of various styles found their ways in each city in the world. However, whether it is the Baroque style or gothic style, these buildings are more likely to cater for human needs and designed as more function-specific. If we take one particular building of post modernism style as an example, the architect would first focus on the function designing, and then start to think about the artistic modification of the building. In terms of the first consideration on functions, the architect pursues the basic purpose of his work. That is, what is this building used for? What are targets or the supposed group of people by creating this certain building? Further, the architect also has to take the structure, cost, materials and overall visual enjoyment into account. Only in this way, functions and artistic fulfillment will be combined in one building based on human needs, just as content and form must be unified in every concrete object in a philosophical sense. 

Aforementioned is the simple explanation of modern thought on creating people-centered architecture. Actually, what these specially designed buildings hint in a deep sense is, more and more designers are consciously aware that architectures are not mere mechanic structures fused with cold iron and marbles. The comforts for human beings, adaptability to surroundings and space utilization are all key factors in designing a people-centered architecture. To put it in a different way, designing is becoming more and more personalized and featured in the future. The building in design will not only be practical in use, but also enjoyable in appreciating. Though it may be difficult to combine them together in a piece of architecture, it is what people-centered architecture supposes to achieve in the designing road. Just as the quotations from Buddhist Economics goes, “the New Burma sees no conflict between religious values and economic progress. Spiritual health and material well-being are not enemies: they are natural allies.” 
Now there come two different but very similar kinds of terms in designing, i.e. Sustainable Design and Public Interest Design. According to the definition by McLennan, Sustainable Design, which is also called environmental design, is the philosophy of designing physical objects, the built environment, and services to comply with the principles of social, economic, and ecological sustainability (J.F. McLennan, 2004.) While at the same time, Public Interest Design is a human-centered that also includes ecological, economic, and social issues and focuses on designing products, structures, and systems that can promote the economic boost and the preservation of the nature (John Cary, 2012). As we can see from the rough definitions for both terms in architecture design, it is barely possible for us to distinguish one from the other. Truly, they are interchangeable for references in most cases. However, comparing the origins and applications of these two way of designing, they are totally different. Public Interest Design originates from the community design movement that started in the 1990s. Initially, it refers particularly to socially responsible architecture, i.e. the non-profit organization. Most buildings are designed for public use by providing the young architects opportunities and carrying on developmental projects in low-income communities. Now, this designing group is becoming larger and more professional. Two remarkable organizations are the Association for Community Design (ACD) and the Social Economic Environmental Design (SEED) Network. By comparison, Sustainable Design aims to create buildings that will impact the environment minimally, connect people with the natural environment and in the hope to shift human being's behavior. It focuses more on how technology can help in waste disposal, energy efficiency and service substitution of household products during the designing phase. What's more, this design can apply in many objects other than architecture only, be them big or small. （可改为What's more, other than architecture, this design can be applied in many objects, be them big or small.） On the whole, the former are more socially considered while the later are more environmentally aware. Of course, in the process of designing people-centered architectures, both of these two designing beliefs can be adopted in order to create a more satisfying building. In other words, they are compatible in the whole process of designing by being given to different uses respectively.
