Miss Memorial Institute of Engineering Professor Dai Fu-tung: life practice "building to serve people," the beginning of the heart

He is the son of the Chinese expeditionary force Anti-Japanese champion Diane Lan, he is a master of architecture in New China. He designed the building that integrates nature and humanity. A modern and beautiful building, shining with the light of modern science and technology.

Throughout his life he practiced "Architecture is a human service," and actively explored "modern bone, traditional soul and natural clothing" in his works. He inherited the roots of traditional culture, learned the essence of architecture in the world and led the innovation in architectural design in China the road--

On February 25, 2018, Professor Dai Fundong, a famous architect and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and the School of Architecture and Urban Planning at Tongji University, died of illness. The sad news came as Tongji teachers and students expressed their profound memories and reverence to this honorable Tongji scholars in various ways.

"Architects need ideas for serving others."

"Architecture is a service-oriented science, architects can only make people serve the building environment better if they truly love and care for them." Long ago, this idea was rooted in the youth wearing Fu Tung.

As a first-generation university major in architecture trained by our country, Dai Fu-Dong came to the Faculty of Architecture of Tongji University after graduating from the Faculty of Architecture of Nanjing University (now the Faculty of Architecture of Southeast University) in 1952. Since then, his life trajectory and construction are closely linked together.

In the 1950s, Dai Fu-Tung had designed a dormitory for a university in Shanghai. At that time, the project invested little, no ready-made design standards, but also to use as many teachers. In order to solve the ventilation problem, Dai Fu-Dong designed windows on both sides of the living room and dining room, bedroom and studio to create air convection. Today, this design has become the most fashionable concept of ventilation.

In the East Lake Scenic Area in Wuhan, there is a "Donghu Meiling Project Complex" for hosting the work and residence of Chairman Mao during his lifetime. This is exactly what Dai Fu-tong was a masterpiece of his youth. Meiling Engineering Group is located on a hillside base, and Dai Fudong design on the ground, the entire house structure and the local environment seamless. In the interior decoration, he also draws as much material as possible. The walls of the house are made of local mountain rocks, both beautiful and eco-friendly, yet rich in local features. In addition, the floor pattern of the houses is also assembled with wooden chopping boards which are sawed in pieces of wood. This unique design makes people feel like being in the woods.

In the summer of 1984, Dai Fudong won the first place of Scholarship for Scholarship of Chinese Scholarship in China set up by Chinese architect IM Pei during his visiting scholar at the Architecture and Planning Institute of Columbia University. In order to gain a direct view of the built environment, he used the bonuses alone to ride the bus to travel and visit the 32 cities in the Central United States. After obtaining first-hand information and perceptual knowledge of the urban, rural and all-environ- mental environments, he is even more dedicated to the idea that architects should have the idea of ​​serving others.

Since then, Tongji University Graduate School building, Zijingang New Campus Center Island Complex, Hangzhou, Zhejiang University, China Disabled Sports Training Base (Noble Center), Wuhan Iron and Steel Technology Center Science and Technology Building, Tiantai Building in Anhui Wuhu and Tiantai Garden gradually Birth. Hundreds of outstanding architectural works, embodies Dai Fu-Dong's wisdom and effort.

Dai believes that at present, many architects in China find it hard to independently create their designs. Often, their designs are influenced by the opinions of developers, investors and property owners. In this sense, Academicians Daidong Dai said bluntly: "Architectural design itself is a service work, the construction industry people have the idea of ​​serving others.There are two possibilities here, one is the architect taking money to serve others; The other is the architect without other conditions and requirements, sincerely for everyone to serve, serve the people, to serve the community, this is the construction industry should most attention. Only in this way we can not be impulsive, in order to make no mistakes. "

Undetectable exploration of architectural creation

In his long career, Dai Fu-Dong left not only a beautiful piece of design work, but also a valuable architectural concept.

"Architecture is a man-made and natural environment for existence and behavior, and macro, meso, and micro-concepts should be given full attention, matched with each other, and focused on microeconomics." This is his "comprehensive environmental concept" put forward in 1985.

Dai Fu-tung has a wide range of interests in architectural design and theoretical work. He has been closely watching the developments of various foreign buildings and has made achievements in the research of theater buildings, hospital buildings and airport buildings. Among these, his earliest proposal of "reducing the distance between nursing care and sickbed" became the best standard for the design of the hospital portfolio in China. In the era of scarcity of works, he proposed "shortening the walking scale, improving the boarding system and increasing the passenger speed" The design idea of ​​airport terminal building has played an important role in the construction of China's airport. He proposed that "paying attention to the favorable and adverse effects of high-rise buildings on the environment and letting people see the sky in an active and orderly manner" has also become Architect in the design process considerations ...

Dai Fu-tung attached great importance to the study of native architecture and culture, such as the Buyi rock architecture, Jiaodong seaweed stone house, Jiangnan waterfront architecture and Tibetan architecture. Into the seventies, he also founded the Institute of high technology in Tongji University Design Institute, and served as director. In the meantime, Dai Fu Tung bravely opened the lightweight steel concrete housing system and industrial research and development, which is "light construction" of the development and research. In this research, he carried out the whole process of the manufacture and sale of residential commercialization, designed the self-enclosed system of interior and exterior walls, and made the exploration of housing construction into a sustainable step toward high-tech development.

In 1999, Dai Fu-Dong was elected as the Chinese Academy of Engineering. In August 2006, China Society for Creation and International Management Association jointly awarded Academician Dai Weidong "China Creative Industry Award Lifetime Achievement Award."

Tireless in building design young talent training

These days, on the Internet, WeChat group, disciples with grief, express grief -

"Mr. Around, bit by bit, every moment, let me really feel a generation of profound, wisdom, love, gentle and persistent.

"Mr. is an outstanding representative of a new generation of architects in China .I am fortunate enough to participate in a number of projects under the auspices of Mr., during which I deeply felt Mr.'s design philosophy, passion and professionalism, is our direction of sustained efforts.Mrs spirit forever, I love my teacher! "

In 60 years of career as a teacher, Professor Dai Fu-tung carefully guide the training of a large number of architecture professionals, including three postdocs, 41 doctoral students, 52 master students and many undergraduates. He considered "architectural freehand painting is an essential basic skill as an architect." He advises students to pay attention to their brain and use "hands" to express their thoughts while studying architecture. ", The design of the concrete results.

"Perseverance in the pursuit of perseverance to explore, sober thoughtful thinking, modest and cautious struggle!" This is the son of anti-Japanese war, architects, architectural educators motto, but also his true portrayal of architectural life.
