Architectural and Landscape Specifics of the Recreational Environment of China in the Traditions and Novations of Modernity

The article is devoted to the necessity of formation of special spaces for recreational leisure of the population in modern architecture. The problem arose due to changes in the environmental conditions of the urban environment and the nature of life of the population in the new modern conditions in Metropolitan areas. It is noted that under the conditions of China, the living environment of the population has always been formed specifically. It is based on the concepts of «Taoism» and «Confucianism», in which the «philosophy of nature» prevails. The article focuses on the aspects that should be implemented in the multi-storey and high-rise architecture of modern China in order to optimize the architectural environment and the organization in it, taking into account the ethnic traditions of spaces for recreation. In the Athens Charter in 1933 at the IV Congress of SIAM (International Congresses of Modern Architecture), the international organization of architects, was formed the concept of» recreational environment» as a special functional space, as well as the concept of «space for rest» as compensating human rest in the environment. In fact it, has already begun to be solved by forming an innovative concept of «ARCHITECTURE GREEN», which is an optimization ecological innovation of the modern architecture of the world. In connection with this innovation, the task of modern Chinese architecture has become a stylistic development of appropriate landscape architecture of the interior garden, which seems to be in mini-forms and ethno-traditions of environment design should meet the leading aspects of Chinese culture.
