Missing Art——The Incorrect Interpretation of Architecture

Architecture is the unity of science and art,but finally it is art.By analyzing the art positioning of western architecture and by comparing the similarities and differences of architecture meaning,this paper points out that the correct interpretation of architecture is the art of architecture rather than building work,and the correct interpretation of Architect should be the art of architecture instead of construction engineers."Construction" is a one-sided interpretation of Architecture.Missing art is the main reason,which limits the advance of Chinese contemporary architecture.This paper also analyzes the phenomenon and its causes that Chinese have a preference of science over art in the development process of Chinese modern construction education,and analyzes that missing art had brought more deficiencies in contemporary Chinese architectural practice.Finally,this paper puts forward the countermeasures for returning the art to Chinese architecture.To improve the level of architecture and to have a voice in the world,the lack of architectural art should be resolved.
