CITY,HISTORY AND ARCHITECT:A BRIEF NOTE ON THE DESIGN OF YUANQIU IN THE TANG CHANG'AN CITY HERITAGE PARK,XI'AN
The Yuanqiu in the Tang Chang'an City serves as a significant material evidence of the Tang Dynasty's celestial worship ritual system in China,and it is also the only surviving site of its kind that predates the Ming and Qing Temple of Heaven in Beijing.By transforming it into a heritage park,the protection requirements for both the Yuanqiu Site itself and its surrounding environment are fully coordinated with the development needs of the ad-jacent urban areas,thereby achieving harmony between cultural heritage conservation and urban-rural construc-tion.This paper takes it as an example to discuss the ap-propriate attitudes that architects should adopt towards architectural creation from the perspectives of history and urban development.
