Research on the Design Methods in Fade of Architecture

Abstract

Based on reconsidering modern architecture in the twentieth century in its characteristics of massiness, constant and isolation, the author put forward the opinions that architecture should exist in a light and fadable way. it should bear sufficient correspondence to the environment in which it is located. Through analysis of related works and research on fade theories, such as "Defeated Architecture" of Kengo Kuma, "skin Architecture" of Herzog & de Meuron and "Architecture of Wind " of Toyo Ito etc., this paper summarizes four ways to achieve architectural fading, i.e. fade of form, fade of skin , fade of space and fade in region.
