Whether it is willing or not, contemporary design from ideas, principles, to techniques are defined by the west .From Gutenberg’s printing press to the Bauhaus , Western designers stand on the altar and overlook other civilizations in the fields of plane, architecture, interior, and industry.

Although good design belongs to the world. But as a contemporary Chinese designer,The Republican Metropolis Architecture team believes that the ancient Oriental aesthetic system was originally perfect, but there was no opportunity to have a chemical reaction with the industrial revolution. From the ancient and oriental aesthetics, the most important thing is not to write the so-called “ancient town”, “ancient architecture” and “classical oriental style” at the pixel level, but to mirror the temperament of an era with classic elements.

唐宋元明清，都深深影响了现代中国。但在相对客观的西方学者旁观看来，现代意义上的中国文化，成型于宋。

The Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties have deeply influenced modern China. But in the view of relatively objective Western scholars, the Chinese culture in the modern sense is shaped in Song Dynasty.

Columbia University ‘s Weatherhead published such a passage on the official website of the East Asian Research Program, mainly saying that before the Song Dynasty, some cultural habits and phenomena that modern China took for granted did not exist. For example, large-scale consumption of rice, tea drinking, population explosion, Confucianism in the system, flying cockroaches in the architectural form, and so on. Therefore, although there are called “Han people” and “Tang people”, in fact, today we are more called”Song people.” The Song Dynasty was also the highest peak recognized by the ancient Eastern aesthetics. Therefore, it is most appropriate to continue the modern design from the aesthetic image of the Song Dynasty.

The ancient books”lucky crane map”had recorded: on the second ninght of Lantern Festival in the second year of Northern Song Dynasty , suddenly the sky above the capital, the clouds floated, and the cranes flew over the palace. They hovered for a long time and refused to leave. The two cranes fell on the two tall kisses on the left and right sides of the palace.The people who attracted theimperial palace were astonished and the people on the road stopped to watch.The aerial crane looks like an understanding of the meaning of the person. It seems to be screaming for something, and it does not scatter over time. Later it flies northwest.

In the history of the art, the emperor of the highest emperor, Emperor Huizong Song, witnessed this scene and dropped the paintings “Ruihe”. This “Ruihe” is the pinnacle of the Song Dynasty’s culture and art. The designer was inspired by this, taking the subtle elements of “crane feather”and establishing a new look of the senses.

Song’s Chinese Cuisine uses modern materials and design techniques to interpret Chinese restaurants. 100,000 pieces of heterosexual stainless steel bricks and 400,000 pieces of colored feathers constitute the basic form of the Song’s Restaurant.The curving shape of the surface breaks the imagination of the Chinese restaurant and creates a unique spatial experience.
