On the specific cultural background, with specific natural conditions, urban scale and effect of urban environment and space, the creation of architects should make contribution to the city, and should be in line with the overall strategic development of the city, forming organic order between architectures and corresponding urban spatial relationship, rather than making thousands of cities in one look.
Architectures are utilities of huge energy consumption, thus to create architectures of people-oriented, regional-featured and environment-friendly is the goal. For the environmental indicators, the state regulations are set to a minimum standard. In which ways the architects try to minimize the energy burden is a necessity which should be considered in the creation process.
