In his 80s, he took his disciples to conduct on-site inspection. He still insisted on hand-painted designs, and used crutches to modify the student designs stroke by stroke.
" Undergraduate education is the key to cultivating new masters !" days old There is a master who trains masters on campus - Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, a national architectural design master, Professor of Tianjin University Peng Yigang . Among the graduate students he trained, there are two academicians: Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Cui Wei, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Duanjin ; Four "National Engineering Exploration and Design Masters" -Cui Yan, Zhou Kai , Li Xinggang and Zhang Pengju . Since 1953, it is impossible to calculate how many students Mr. Peng has trained, but everyone who has studied under him can feel his love and sincerity for architecture and architectural education.
In the early morning of October 23, 2022, Mr. Peng Yigang left peacefully with the company of his family and students at the age of 90. The old man who would quietly go to the design classroom to view the pictures at the end of the period and leave.
Sow seeds to create a beautiful new world
Mr. Peng has devoted his life to the research and practice of architectural aesthetics and architectural creation theory. This enthusiasm for pursuing beauty and creating beauty is innate.
Peng Yigang was born in Hefei, Anhui Province in 1932. He has demonstrated extremely high artistic talent and hands-on ability since childhood. When I was in elementary school, I learned from myself without a teacher. Based on the pictures I saw in the book, I made a cannon with horse manure paper . When I was in middle school, I cast a model of a P40 small aircraft with lead. I can also make it easy to copy portraits and draw maps. High school is full of curiosity about internal combustion engines, and I bought books to learn by myself. The physics teacher commented: I have done a deep research.
took the college entrance examination. Peng Yigang, who liked both machinery and painting, realized the " combination of science and art " and applied for the Department of Architectural Engineering of Northern Jiaotong University (later incorporated into Tianjin University). He is the first student of the Department of Civil Engineering, Tianjin University after the founding of New China 5. At that time, Tianjin University was busy building the Qilitai Campus. Peng Yigang and several other students with strong professional abilities were selected to participate in the construction. The roof of the central part of the magnificent building of Tianjin University was designed and added by him.
New China is in a mess and needs builders too much. This experience made Peng Yigang decide to stay in school to teach, become a fire-spreader, and cultivate more architects for the motherland. In April 1953, Peng Yigang graduated early and taught in the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture of Tianjin University. This has been around for nearly 70 years, and has trained a group of young and middle-aged architects and excellent architecture teachers for my country. They have achieved remarkable achievements in China's architectural education and architectural theory research; they have brought prosperity to China's architectural creation; they have contributed to China's urban and rural construction.
The world is full of students, and the elites are produced. student is Mr. Peng’s most satisfied work . In 2007, he was named the top ten young Chinese architects in the world, and Tianda held five seats. At the 2008 Olympics, Tianjin University alumni "meeted" in the construction of the Beijing Olympic venues. More than ten leading figures, including Cui Yi (Chief Commander of the Olympic Project of the China Institute of Architectural Design), Li Xinggang (Chinese Design Host of the "Bird's Nest"), and Zhao Xiaojun (Chinese Chief Designer of the "Handle of the Bird's Nest"), and more than ten leading figures, including Cui Yi (Chinese Chief Designer of the "Water Cube"), are all graduates of Tianjin University. Cui Yi, Duan Jin, Zhou Kai, Li Xinggang, Fu Shaohui... These shining names in the architectural world are all students of Peng Yigang.
lays a solid foundation for cultivating masters
On November 20, 2021, a " a design manuscript of a post-90s academician can be called a work of art " Weibo has entered the hot search. This academician who has made the hot search is Mr. Peng Yigang. Nearly the age of squid, hand-drawn design drawings. The teacher from the School of Architecture accidentally posted photos of the teacher’s drawings and hand-drawn pictures to his Moments and became a hot search.
Peng Yigang attaches great importance to undergraduate education and teaching, attaches great importance to the training and cultivation of students' basic skills, and insists on " to cultivate from scratch" for young people. The secret to cultivation is " teach ".He has high requirements for students' basic skills in drawing by hand. He often starts with the conception of the plan, guides and helps students to modify the plan design step by step, and revises the drawings for students step by step, and exercises their design abilities. " You must first correct yourself, and then you can correct others. The teacher's words and deeds will have an important impact on students' outlook on life and how they deal with others. ." The teacher has a solid foundation, so students will naturally learn from it.
At the end of 2020, the 89-year-old Mr. Peng was moving many people when he changed the picture to the three "master" disciples. The teacher and his disciples Cui Kai , Zhou Kai and Li Xinggang discussed the design of Zhang Tailei Square and its statues on the new campus of Tianjin University.
"Computers can help us express many visual images, but the most primitive imagination of an excellent architect still needs to be inspired by the skills at hand. This can be confirmed by some of the conceptual sketches of some foreign famous architectural masters - although just a few quick strokes can show his meticulous thinking and profound skills." Peng Yigang said.
PhD student Li Wei once sighed: "Every time I go to my husband's house, I always encounter him working meticulously at his desk, and every festival is no exception. Whenever he creates a new work, he always excitedly takes out the drawings to share with everyone and solicits everyone's opinions. It can be seen that the husband has integrated all the joys, anger, sorrow and joy of his life into the architectural creation that he pursues throughout his life."
Peng Yigang advocates that architectural creation should have passion, talent and skills, which are the three elements that constitute architectural creation. He has integrated this idea into daily teaching. He often tells students: An architect without passion cannot have the desire to create and the motivation to pursue new knowledge. As an architect, you must not only have passion, but also constantly learn and summarize the experience of your predecessors, accumulate, store and enrich your own knowledge, and practice excellent composition basic skills and skillful creative skills. In this way, when you create again, you can give full play to your rich imagination and show colorful ideas, thereby creating unique and poetic works. Outstanding architectural education achievements and brilliant educational achievements made him win the China Architecture Education Award in 2006, a lifetime honor.
Being the inheritor of Chinese architectural culture
Mr. Peng Yigang has been committed to the research of architectural aesthetics, spatial composition theory and architectural design methodology for a long time, and pursues the integration of traditional architectural culture and contemporary architectural innovation. His research has not only permeated the philosophical and aesthetic ideas of ancient and modern times, but also rooted in the practice of local Chinese architectural creation. He used his life's learning to tell the world the beauty of Chinese architecture.
In the academic field of architectural aesthetics and art, Mr. Peng Yigang has done relatively systematic research on art such as classical architectural composition, modern architectural space combination laws, and contemporary Western architectural aesthetic variations. While studying Western architectural theory, we pay special attention to the exploration of traditional Chinese architectural culture, and conducted scientific analysis of landscape characteristics such as ancient gardening art and residential settlements, and used contemporary space design theory and artistic psychology. These research results permeate the philosophical and aesthetic ideas of ancient and modern times, and are closely linked to my country's current architectural creation practice, laying a solid theoretical foundation for the systematic composition of architectural creation theory with Chinese characteristics.
During his lifelong teaching and scientific research career, Mr. Peng has published more than 10 academic monographs and published more than 70 papers, and has achieved fruitful theoretical research results. He is an outstanding architectural theorist with far-reaching influence in the field of architecture in my country. " Architectural Space Combination Theory " published in 1983 is a highly theoretical academic monograph. Once published, the book has received widespread attention from the Chinese architecture community and has been highly praised. Almost every student and practitioner of architecture major has a book.
As an architect, Peng Yigang is mainly engaged in the research of architectural aesthetics and spatial composition theory, architectural design methodology, traditional architectural culture and contemporary architectural innovation. These studies not only permeate the philosophical and aesthetic ideas of ancient and modern times, but also closely link with China's current architectural creation practice.He has made outstanding contributions to architectural creation, theoretical research and architectural education, and has won the highest awards in the architectural industry - Liang Sicheng Architecture Award and China Architecture Education Award. In 2019, he was awarded the title of Outstanding Person in the Survey and Design Industry for the 70th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China .
"Because of work, we often go on business trips with Mr. Peng. No matter where we go, we can hear the gratitude and praise of 'We grew up by reading your book'. The few books written by Mr. Peng can be called classics, and behind the classics is his solid foundation and hard-working research. The writing of " Chinese Classical Garden Analysis ", not to mention the illustrations in it, almost all of them are first-hand information he obtained on-site steps. Ask yourself, how many people in the architectural world can do their knowledge like this?" Li Xinggang, the Chinese host of "Bird's Nest" design, said.
Walking on the campus of Tianjin University, you can often talk to Mr. Peng. His architectural works designed for Tianda tells his understanding of the beauty of Chinese architecture . One of the landmark buildings of 0 days, Qiushi Pavilion is simplified on the basis of Chinese classical pavilions, using cement grey tiles, thick and simple, and very harmonious with the surroundings. Several generations of students read in the morning sun in the pavilion, strolled in the evening, watching the autumn water and the sky with the same color, and enjoying the setting sun and sunset. From design to redesign, Mr. Peng personally participated in the specific plan and was discovered by the students to "supervise the worker personally." In order to ensure safe return, Qiushi Pavilion was affectionately called "Beiyang Xin Pavilion" by the Lord Tian. Here we welcome the sunset and watch the sunset. is all the great time, and it is also the great time "carved" by Mr. Peng.
Sensitive
Mr. Peng's home is very warm and the house is full of sunshine. One side is the book wall, the book he loves. On one side is the model display, a simulated ship model polished and colored by him. is full of love, because you can always see Mr. Peng’s deep love for her husband and wife .
Mr. Peng should love his wife very much because there is a picture album, two-thirds of which are sketches he drew for his wife, from youth to white hair, of different ages. Less than one-third were portraits of him painted for his old friend, including Academician Zhou Heng and Academician Ye Shenghua and Academician 5 who sneaked out with him to eat ice cream. Such obvious favoritism shows Mr. Peng's love for his wife. After his wife passed away, he arranged his wife's photos and portraits in many places in the room. He might not be lonely if he saw his lover in his eyes.
Mr. Peng used this gentle heart to discover beauty and cultivate beauty .
"Whether it is doing architectural design or discipline research, a person needs to have certain cultural and artistic literacy. I myself often take students to appreciate excellent architectural design works at home and abroad, with the purpose of cultivating students' keen sense of beauty." Peng Yigang said. There is a picture of "Youth Blooming" in his collection. It was a photo taken by Cui Kai and Zhou Kai and his group of students going to survey and map the ancient building complex in Chengde in the early 1980s.
Peng Yigang, who is extremely strict in teaching, treats students like family in life. "In the 1980s and 1990s, teachers and students had dinner together and went to restaurants out of fashion. The food was cooked by students at their husband's house, and then they found a classroom to eat together." Song Kun, Party Secretary and Dean of the School of Architecture, Tianjin University, recalled.
