Recently, a list of "China's top ten ugly buildings" was popular on the Internet. The finalists were accused of "destroying marine ecology", "strange and messy shape", "exaggerated and wasteful modeling" and "unreasonable building use function", which triggered netizens' discussion on architectural design and aesthetics. Many of the voices are worth listening to and introspecting by practitioners. It is true that beauty and ugliness are never absolute and always have obvious subjective colors, but the mainstream aesthetics of a society is relatively stable in a certain period of time. The selection of "top ten ugly buildings" is held every year, but it always leads to hot discussion, which shows that some buildings do lead to universal disgust. Perhaps professionals will say that architectural aesthetics is an elite thing of "not seeking for the public", but from another perspective, the "academic" knowledge of aesthetic art also needs to connect with the aesthetic cognition of the public. Those who make complaints about the building are not only thinking highly, big, foreign, new or strange, but do not consider the coordination of architecture, people and environment. If we insist that the public "do not understand art", I am afraid that some architectural designers are too arrogant and self appreciative. "Architecture is the most formal and practical basic value in human art. It is the unity of formal beauty and functional beauty." Architecture has never been a simple place to live, but carries people's aesthetic thinking about their own living space. There is no problem for a city to build its own unique landmark, but the key is to figure out where this uniqueness comes from. Pretending to be amazing is doomed to become a laughing stock. From Suzhou Museum to Zhuhai Grand Theater, we can see from these successful cases that only by deeply excavating and concentrating on refining, can buildings be called "landmarks" to carry forward culture and make culture glorious. More importantly, architecture is also the product of the times, recording the temperament and thought of an era. The gaudy and messy Baroque architecture shows off the wealth and power of the church with luxurious decoration all the time; Highlighting the constructivist architecture of steel and glass, which represented the yearning of the newborn Soviet Union for industrialization and electrification at that time; "The essence of China and foreign countries, including all the essence, including the package and the storage, are all for my use", is the Great Hall of the people, expressing the confidence of the 10th anniversary time of the founding of new China. Today, we are in a new era of national self-confidence and the rise of all things. It is worth for practitioners to think about what architecture should be in line with the style of the times and express the aesthetics of the times. In today's rapidly changing, buildings are growing and jointing every day. The "top ten ugly buildings" is a wake-up call. It is expected that more practitioners can make aesthetics enter the architecture of a new era, make more combinations of steel bars and cement, and realize the unity of life beauty and art beauty.
