ABSTRACT
The appearance of new regionalism is the outcome of this background. It is different from the standardization and stereotype and it focuses on the understanding of regional context. It is also different from architecture of vernacularism; it is not the spontaneously produced expression of architectural type of “residence” through the combination of climate, culture, community and handicraft arts, but a kind of tendency about the common cultural summarization and interpretation in a region. New regionalism, as its name suggests, is the new development after combining regionalism and presentism; its fundamental element lies in that it considers both the comparatively-iconic regional culture with and the comparatively-common global culture, but it doesn’t have preference to either party. Thus, the starting point of new regionalism design is not to show up its novelty and supereminence, comparing to the universal aesthetics; on the contrary, the design is merged with the thinking that modernism has on the location and region and it releases and satisfies the native complex of people as possible as it can.
