美国现代建筑先驱沙利文成长于多元文化家庭,这是其设计理论的民主渊源;他的短期学院教育让其认识到古典传统理性主义形式美的普遍规律;他的学徒生涯则带来功能理性和结构理性主义思想。由此可见,沙利文早期教育对他的设计理论形成起着关键性的作用。 Sullivan, the pioneer of modern American architecture, grew up in multicultural families, which is the democratic origin of his theory of design. His short-term college education made him realize the universal law of formal beauty of classical traditional rationalism. His apprenticeship career brought about functional rationality and structure Rationalism. Thus, Sullivan’s early education played a key role in the formation of his design theory.
