建筑艺术,是人类文明的一个有机组成部分。一个民族、一个时代的文化形态,常常集中地通过一种代表性的伟大建筑物而得到象征性的体现。所以罗丹曾经说:法兰西精神就体现在巴黎圣母院的建筑形式中。而在同样的意义上,金字塔、万里长城、摩天楼,不也常常被看作古代尼罗河文明、古代中华文明和近代工商业文明的象征吗? Architectural art is an integral part of human civilization. The cultural forms of a nation and an era are often symbolically represented collectively by a representative, great building. So Rodin once said: The spirit of France is reflected in the architectural form of Notre-Dame de Paris. In the same sense, the pyramids, the Great Wall and skyscrapers are often not seen as symbols of ancient Nile civilization, ancient Chinese civilization and modern business civilization.
