Architecture and Culture Society of China
How to explore, protect and inherit national architectural culture has great practical and historical meaning in China¡¯s rapid urbanization and the construction process. Meanwhile, under the existing system, we also strongly feel that the manifestation of city construction levels and cultural connotation is not only the planners, designers and builders¡¯ duty, but also depends on leaders with different levels with architectural & cultural foundation and art appreciation, moreover, the manifestation relies on the improvement of people¡¯s knowledge of architecture, the enhancement of arts and culture. Because harmony and innovative society needs a high level unity in form and content, architectural culture must be concerned and strengthened when the material conditions have been marked improvements.
Therefore, we decided to establish a nationwide social organization and academic organization " Architecture and Culture Society of China "for architecture and culture research. The organization delicates to protect and develop traditional Chinese architectural culture to be passed on to future generations; Second, the current urban construction will be affected by the activities of " Architecture and Culture Society of China ", then to pay more attention to the protection of national cultural construction, Inheritance and development; Third, for building a harmonious society, the organization created a mutual exchanges and communication platform for units of architecture, culture and art, persons with insight and administrative staffs; Finally, it can improve social culture and artistic level by popularize and publicize the basic knowledge of architectural art and architectural culture.
