Art Inheritance

 Art Inheritance: An Education Course on Traditional Pattern Morphological Generation in Architecture Design Based on Digital Sculpturism

    I found a paper that talks about appalling Chinese traditional pattern into modern architecture design. I feel the idea of this paper is quite similar to my idea of my thesis project. We both use Chinese traditional pattern and apply them into our design.

    First, they extract the patterns form a complex image and break them into few small parts. Then they use these small pattern to create their own design. When the new pattern is used in the architecture design, it still remains the beauty of the origin pattern and the special meaning.

    Also, the paper analysis Chinese traditional patterns and they divide it into three types. Individual style, continuous style and appropriate style. And the paper includes skeleton analysis as well. "No matter what kind of style the patterns are, they are all formed on the corresponding skeleton structure, following a typical classics logic. "[Chong 2020]

I think this paper will greatly help me to write the section of pattern design of my thesis paper.

    Also, one part of my research is the culture heritage, I feel it is kind important to protect our culture heritage. It is sadly to admit that there are a lot special culture heritages are fainting out. I found a book talks about Safeguarding Intangible Cultural Heritage. If you do not have the access to this book, you can go the Drexel library and type the name of the book. It will ask you to log in with your Drexel account, after this you should be able to read the book. The book is kind long, I just briefly read the titles and abstract of some chapters.  I will take a deep look of it once I have time.
