Antique architecture refers to the architecture that imitates traditional architecture in architectural form, the appearance basically reflects the main characteristics of traditional architecture, and the structure, materials and construction technology all reflect the main characteristics of modern architecture. The following is a brief introduction to the main methods of antique architectural design, hoping to understand the antique architectural design for you. Architectural layout is the first step in the overall design of antique buildings, which can generally be adopted in two ways: garden layout and axis layout. Garden layout is an important design form in antique architecture. Chinese traditional architecture has a strong dependence on landscape. There are two kinds of garden layout: circling mountains and water and running through mountains and water. The Summer Palace is a typical example of this design. The exquisite point of this design is that the whole building group relies on the mountains and water to get an organic connection. Visitors can see the center of the landscape in any place. The layout of this ancient building is to form a central axis with a road or building in the middle of the building, and arrange related buildings around the axis in turn.

This is the most common layout form of antique architecture, the Forbidden City, the Imperial Temple and many other ancient buildings are used in this layout form, Hengdian World Studios and other modern antique architectural areas, are the use of axis layout design, tourists are in it, there is a strong sense of antiquity. After the completion of the basic layout of the building, it is necessary to start the detailed design of the building. The detailed design is the soul of the antique architectural design, which can make the entire building image full. Generally speaking, there are the following aspects

The forms of traditional Chinese architecture are clearly classified, including courtyards, towers, pavilions and halls, etc. The architectural form design steps are mainly based on the main forms of traditional Chinese architecture to carry out the detailed structural design of antique architecture. The core is to organically integrate various traditional design elements, establish a main design form, and then load other elements in it.

For example, we can determine to take "Siheyuan" as the main form of the building, then in the design, the courtyard will be used as the constituent sub-unit of the building, and in each sub-unit to add hall, pavilion and other elements, such design makes our building appear rich, but also have a core. Traditional Chinese buildings mainly use brick and wood structure, which makes traditional Chinese buildings have a big problem, that is, poor fire resistance and corrosion resistance, the service life is not long, and the security risks are big. On the one hand, modern wood resources are tight, large-scale use of wood is neither economic nor environmentally friendly, so the design of materials is also a very important factor in antique design.

The composition structure of aluminum alloy antique doors and Windows is combined with the environmental protection of wooden Windows, the firm safety of iron Windows and steel Windows, and the commonalities of thermal insulation and energy saving of plastic steel doors and Windows. Its structure is more complex than ordinary aluminum doors and Windows, and the cost is higher, ordinary aluminum does not have heat insulation strip, no heat preservation and no energy saving, and only does spray drawing treatment on the surface.
