This paper analyzes the factors influencing the contemporary architectural innovation. It puts forward that the model of standardization and mass production contribute to similar “international” architectural form, which results in the disappearing of the “national character” and“regional character” of Chinese architecture. However, simplified traditional expressions make contemporary architectural innovation too superficial, leading to a “trap” of imitation. It also pointes out that the combination of the methods of symbol and metaphor , technology and materials of modern architecture, a further exploration of traditional culture symbols, cultural energy stimulating is the power source of contemporary architectural innovation, and make a argumentation through success and failure cases.

Research the evolution of architectonic aesthetics by concentrating on politics and economics in the background of Globalization. The accelerative modernization forces the individual aesthetic needs into the opposite, from which point out the evolution of the post-modern architecture can also be traced into the process from the deviation from astriction to sensibility then to the reflection on basic rationalism and at last to the aesthetic individualism. In conclusion, the trend of individualism, personalization and pure “experience” in architectonic aesthetics will continue its evolution and exert its influence on the development of Chinese architecture.

The article examines the synthesis of arts on the example of Chinese architecture. General historical questions of the development of Chinese culture and various arts during historical evolution are raising. Philosophical and religious positions of culture are distinguishing, which are identifying with the development of art. The question arises of the lack of a full analysis of ancient Chinese art for all types of artistic creativity that were developing during cultural development and formation: architecture, painting, calligraphy, music, sculpture, dance, and so on. A number of scholars who have developed methods of approaches to the systematization and study of the synthesis of the arts of ancient Chinese culture throughout its development are presenting. A number of techniques in painting and calligraphy that have a direct impact on the formation of the Chinese architectural environment are analyzing. These methodical conclusions can be useful in planning the activities of various organizational departments of architectural education and science. Problem statement: it became necessary to analyze and describe the methods and principles of organizing forms of art synthesis in Chinese architecture. Objective of the article: analyze the impact of forms of art synthesis in Chinese architecture. There is describing that the most important art form in China is painting. It is thanks to its compositional, color and harmonic laws that the general cultural world of ancient China is building. Color relationships, combinations with nature - all this through painting builds the canonical laws of architecture, music, dance, calligraphy, etc., taking into account national authenticity. It becomes the central core of the synthesis of Chinese art, generating its various forms for individual regions. In architecture, the action of forms of synthesis of Chinese arts is embodying through the organization of plasticity of the building, interior and exterior space, the ratio of small and large forms, and the location of accents. Experienced predecessors should be a role model for modern architects and artists. The combination of long-standing traditions of "synthesis of arts" with modern production technologies, as well as creative ideas of architects and artists of the XXI century can give new vectors of development of Chinese architecture and art science.

Dalam perkembangannya, rumah-toko pada kawasan tersebut mengalami beberapa perubahan fungsi ruang dan perubahan bentuk bangunan rumah-toko akibat dari beberapa faktor, sehingga terlihat karakteristik arsitektur cina pada kawasan tersebut semakin memudar. Pada penelitian sebelumnya belum ada yang mengaitkan antara perubahan dungsi dan bentuk rumah-toko terhadap arsitektur cina. Adapun beberapa penelitian sebelumnya hanya mengaitkan dengan topologi perubahan rumah-toko. Tujuan dari penelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui penyebab terjadinya perubahan fungsi pada rumah-toko dan untuk mengetahui pengaruh perubahan fungsi dan bentuk yang menyebabkan mulai pudarnya karakteristik arsitektur cina yang berpengaruh terhadap perubahan karakter arsitektur cina di kawasan pecinan. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif deskriptif, pengumpulan data-data dari penelitian ini dilakukan dengan cara survei lokasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi kemudian dianalisis dengan metode deskriptif kualitatif. Setelah dilakukan analisis dari data-data lokasi, maka didapatkan kesimpulan umum bahwa faktor yang mempengaruhi perubahan fungsi dan bentuk yaitu faktor ekonomi, sosial, dan budaya serta fungsi ruang memiliki pengaruh yang lebih kecil terhadap memudarnya karakteristik arsitektur cina dibandingkan dengan perubahan bentuk bangunan yang memiliki pengaruh lebih besar terhadap memudarnya karakteristik arsitektur cina. Shop-House is one of the characteristics of Chinatown. In its development, Shop-House in the region experienced several changes in the function of space and changes in the shape of the houses due to several factors, so that the Chinese architectural characteristics in the area faded. In the previous research, there was no link between changes in function and the form of houses to Chinese architecture. As for some previous studies only linking with the change in the shop-house topology. The purpose of this study is to determine the cause of changes in the function of the Shop-House and to determine the effect of changes in function and shape that cause the fading of Chinese architectural characteristics that affect the changes in Chinese architectural character in Chinatown. This research method uses descriptive qualitative method, the collection of data from this study is done by surveying locations, interviews, and documentation and then analyzed with qualitative descriptive methods. After analyzing the location data, a general conclusion is that the factors that influence changes in function and form are economic, social, and cultural factors and the function of space has a smaller influence on the waning characteristics of Chinese architecture compared to changes in the shape of buildings that have influence. greater to the waning characteristics of Chinese architecture.
