Abstract
In 2015, in response to global warming and the diminishment of resources, China proposed a new design strategic guideline “Applicability, Economy, Green and Beauty,” based on an earlier model. In 1956, seven years after the establishment of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) the Central People’s Government had formally established an architectural design strategic guideline, “Applicability, Economy and Attention to Beauty with Limitations” (AEB) which set out the goals and guided the direction of architecture design in response to its new national identity. The official newspaper, People’s Daily, established by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) provided the main platform for the promotion of AEB, during an era when specialist architectural publications were largely non-existent. Significantly, until 2015, AEB continued to function as the main strategic guideline; it was foundational to Chinese architecture design for over half a century.
