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.
