An Exploration of the Analytical Approach to the Study of the Beaux-Arts Composition of T.P.YangA Case Study of the Schematic Design of Guesthouse of the Nationalist Government Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1930
T.P.Yang received rigorous Beaux-Arts design training at the University of Pennsylvania in the 1920s and designed plenty of excellent Beaux-Arts architectural works during his career.However,the core method of Beaux-Arts theory-composition-was rarely mentioned by Yang on the one hand,and there is little research in the academic community on the other.Based on the Beaux-Arts theory on composition,this paper proposes a tripartite method of formal analysis,which includes building elements,elements of composition and the manipulation of composition.It uses the design of the Guesthouse of the Nationalist Government Ministry of Foreign Affairs as a case study to demonstrate the operation with an intention to provide a new perspective on the study of the architectural works of the pioneering generation Chinese architects represented by T.P.Yang.
