我国城市化建设已进入加速发展时期，一些国外建筑事务所也纷纷来中国“抢滩”。中国建筑界的危机在于：尚不能直接主持重点工程，一般是充当配角和合作者；城市规划，建筑设计缺乏综合的科学论证，一些大城市正在成为外国建筑师的畸型建筑试验场；不重人居环境，轻经济、适用原则，片面追求新、奇。文章强调，建筑及城市规划与功能、经济、技术、环境等息息相关，是开放的巨系统，因此要遵循建筑的基本原则，把建筑、地景、城市规划融合为一体，须考虑更多的建筑要素；既要把握全球化趋势，更应注意地区文化、传统文化的传承与创新；当代建筑师的基本要素是丰厚的文化底蕴和跨学科知识以及自身专业的坚实基础上。

With the urbanization in China entering the period of accelerated development, the flourish of building industry has attracted numerous foreign architects offices to come to China for “seizing a beach before others”.The crisis for Chinese construction industry companies lies in the fact that they usually can not take charge of important projects but only act as secondaries or cooperators; urban planning and architectural design are not supported by comprehensive scientific demonstration and some big cities become test sites for freakish architectural designs of foreign architects; residential environment is not stressed on, economics and practicability is not given importance but instead peculiarity and novelty is one-sidedly sought for. This paper emphatically points out that architectural buildings and urban planning are closely related to the function, economy, technology, environment, etc. of a city, being an open macroscopic system of the city. Hence basic principles of architecture should be followed, more architectural factors should be considered so that architecture, landscape and urban planning are merged into a homogenous entirety. While the trend of globalization is tracked, more important is the inheritance and innovation of local and traditional culture. The academic level of a modern architect can only be based on his rich cultural background, trans-science learning and solid speciality knowledge.
