After entering the field of architecture for more than 30 years, Zhang Yonghe held its first personal retrospective exhibition. Thirty years ago, when people mentioned Zhang Yonghe, they would say that this was Zhang Kaiji's son. Zhang Kaiji, the second generation designer of New China, has works such as Tiananmen Observation Deck and Wuhan Yangtze River Bridge. Now, Zhang Yonghe is called "the father of modernist architecture in China". People's self-cultivation needs the improvement of several generations, and it is too late. In fact, there is a very simple practice in the United States now: if I remember correctly, any house over 80 years old cannot be moved, demolished or replaced. This is decided by the government. Italy is much shorter, such as more than 50 years. You can move inside, but you can't move outside at all. The government will send someone to compare the old photos with your house. Windows, doors, materials and surfaces cannot be moved. I think if the country has this awareness now, it can be protected by some laws and regulations. Not yet in China.
