Academician Zhong Xunzheng has been engaged in research and creation of architectural design for a long time. In the 1980s, he proposed the architectural concept of “letting nature take its course and not being out of place”, which had a wide influence in the field of architecture. He has contributed many classic works to his motherland, among which Beijing Railway Station and the bridgehead of Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge were selected for the “First Batch of Chinese 20th Century Architectural Heritage” list jointly announced by the Chinese Cultural Relics Society and the Chinese Architecture Society in September 2016..
Zhong Lao started painting from a young age. “When I was in high school, I would produce a bulletin board, and when I had free time, I would also draw some little people.” He said, taking out several old-fashioned pocket picture books from a corner of the bookshelf. Everyone gathered around to browse. One of the books depicts various characters, including workers holding hands on their hips and girls with big braids, vivid and lifelike. There is also a comic book depicting satire from the West at that time, which is full of humor. “These are all copied from pictorial newspapers.” It turned out that Zhong Lao was also a fan of various pictorial newspapers back then..
Hand drawing in architecture is a fundamental skill for architects. In Zhong Lao’s bookshelf, there is a thick collection of his paintings, consisting of dozens of sets, which have always been a model for architectural students to copy. Among them, “Environmental Representation and Techniques in Architectural Painting” has been printed in over forty editions and has become a textbook for students in the architecture department. When flipping through these books, it is as if seeing the stunning footprints left by this architectural master in different cities and rural areas..
Unlike landscape paintings by artists, these works are strictly drawn to scale, and precision is the fundamental principle of architectural painting. “Don’t you have to bring a ruler when drawing?”. Zhong Lao waved his hand and said, “No need, I never use a ruler when drawing. These are all basic skills.” “He drew them himself, and now students have all drawn them on the computer,” Zhong Lao’s wife added on the side..
The interior of the shopping mall focuses on showcasing the texture and color of various store furnishings and decorative materials. The pillar has no obvious contour lines and is only highlighted by the background. Characters help to display the scale and depth of space..
Large brick walls and floors form blocks of different color tones, with rich variations in color. The task was handled concisely and vividly, meeting the standards. Especially for the characters in close shots, they provide a brief overview, with a subtle and meaningful brushstroke. They have a centripetal composition that serves as a framing effect and increases the depth of the visual space..
The spatial expression is extremely detailed, with various decorative ornaments and dynamic characters making the space rich and colorful. The deepening of the beam serves as a framing effect, enhancing the depth of the distant space. The spatial subject of the entire picture flows freely and is not messy..
This shared space has rich content, detailed presentation, and complex and accurate perspective. The light source on the screen is natural light, and the dark areas are mostly covered with flat vertical lines, with clear resolution on the surface..
