Rational And Aesthetic Principles of Form-Making in Traditional Chinese Architecture as the Basis of Restoration Activities

Дмитренко, А.Ю.

Chinese architecture is characterized by an original structural scheme, a specific volumetric and spatial composition, and expressive silhouette, the tone of which is set by the roofs of an unusual concave end-up shape, emphasized bright polychrome with open colours and decor. All these components were not random and were not caused only by the whim of the architect or customer, but for thousands of years have been regulated by the principles of Feng Shui, the canons of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism. That is why every detail of the structure was provided with a particular hidden meaning. However, the spread of wood construction over time led to the emergency state of many small pavilions and gazebos. Chinese researchers pay attention to the poor state of many historical pavilions and gazebos and negative examples of their reconstruction, which distorted the primary structure of the object. Since the authenticity of the architecture is completely lost as a result of such “reconstructions”, the experience of the Ukrainian special research and restoration-designproduction corporation Ukrrestavratsiia, obtained on numerous wooden churches and wooden structural elements of buildings for other purposes, can be useful in conservation and restoration of China wooden objects.
