At school, he won awards from the American Institute of Architects and the Foundation. 1984 After graduation, I worked in several architectural design firms in San Francisco, USA. From 65438 to 0985, he began to teach at Paul State University, University of Michigan, Berkeley University and Rice University. In the meantime, he won awards in a series of international architectural design competitions, such as 1986, and won the first prize in Japan New Architecture International Residential Design Competition. 1988 won the first place in the conceptual object design competition "View from Table to Table" sponsored by Formica Company of the United States. 1988 won the W.

Domestic development
Starting from 1993, we established the Extraordinary Architecture Studio with Lu and started the practice in China. /kloc-0 officially resigned from the faculty of rice university and returned to China at the end of 1996. Since 1992, his projects such as Luoyang Old Town Kindergarten, Zhengzhou Xiaozhaozhai Residential Area and Kindergarten, Shantou Hualidi Entertainment City, Qingxi Mountain Residence and Humen Government Garden Hotel have been published in domestic and foreign magazines. 1994 was selected as one of the eight architects in China in the Japanese book World 58 1 Architects. 1995, Guangdong Qingxi "sloping residential group" project won the American "progressive architecture" 1996 excellent architectural engineering design award. (The Progressive Architecture Award is one of the most authoritative annual architectural awards in American architecture. This is the first time that a project designed by China in China has won this award. ) 1996 completed the interior design project of Xishu Bookstore in Beijing, Nanchang and Wuhan. 1997 Beijing Cummins Company's "upside down office" project and Shenzhen Runtangshanzhuang residential community project were completed. 1998 to 1999 Guangdong Qingxi sloping land residential complex, Beijing Zhongguancun Chen Xing Mathematics Building Project, Beijing Modern City Model Room Interior Design Project, Beijing Huairou Shanyu Room Residential Project, Beijing Glass Onion Restaurant, Beijing Hongshi Industrial Office Interior, Beijing Crystal Stone Computer Image Company Exterior and Interior Design, Hebei Yanjiao Painter Studio/Residence 7#, 4# and 5#.
Since 1992, he has participated in many international exhibitions of architecture and art held in Asia, Europe and America, including the 2000 Shanghai Biennale and the 2000 UNESCO Art Contribution Award (in recognition of outstanding and creative achievements in the field of visual arts); As the only architect in China, he participated in the 7th Venice Architecture Biennale held in Venice in 2000. 1999 held a solo exhibition "Roadside Theater" at ApexArt Art Museum in new york, USA; 1997- 1998 successively participated in the "City in Motion" held in Vienna, Austria, PS 1 in new york, Denmark, and the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in London, England, and completed some exhibition designs; 1999 participated in the China Young Architects Exhibition held at the 20th Congress of the International Association of Architects; "Big or Small-Three-person Exhibition of Asian Architecture" by AA School of Architecture in London, UK; 197 in Osaka, Japan;198 in India; 97 Gwangju Art Biennale, Korea, etc. In 2008, Zhang Yonghe became one of the curators of the China Pavilion of the Venice Biennale.
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.

National image figure
On July 20 10, the State Council Press Office officially launched the filming of "National Image Series Promo". Zhang Yonghe was selected as a participant in the 20 10 China national image propaganda film. This film is a key project to shape and enhance China's national image of prosperity, development, democracy, progress, civilization, openness, peace and harmony, and a useful attempt to explore new forms of external communication in the new era. It is reported that the national image propaganda film launched in advance was commissioned by a world-renowned advertising company. The program includes a feature film with a length of 15 minutes and a 30-second advertising short film. The theme film with a length of 15 minutes revolves around the concept of "people-oriented, scientific development", involving politics, economy, society, culture, scientific research, education, environment, nationality and other fields. Shooting location. The 30-second advertising short film adopts a more powerful scheme, focusing on outstanding Chinese sons and daughters who enjoy international reputation in sports, entertainment, academia, science and technology, business and so on, trying to show the vibrant national image of contemporary China.
Style of works
Rational conception and design: undoubtedly influenced by modern western architectural education, Zhang Yonghe's initial creation obviously bears traces of western rationalism and even skepticism. At the same time, influenced by futurism, Husserl and Heidegger, he paid attention to thinking, emphasizing the process of seeking and solving, and emphasizing suspense. At first, he was inevitably showing off, but this did not affect his pursuit of architectural value, narrative style and subsequent design expression, and gradually realized literature, writing and expression. In the end, this will be a positive result. In recent years, several articles in his book "Reading" have felt as if lifting weights. Specific to his design, it is a process in which apriori and experience go round and round and cross each other. His architecture is the product of rationality, just as he said "implicit space" and "extraordinary architecture". His understanding of architectural space is vague, implicit, transcendental and empirical. 1986' s award-winning work "Four Rooms" is the product of his renting experience in the United States and his understanding of China's traditional architectural space. For another example, The Rear Window by 1989- 199 1 is a rational narrative process-analyzing Hitchcock's film The Rear Window with architectural design and trying to recreate the architecture of the film. The result of rationality is "reading architecture", "peeping architecture" and "narrator and"
Prototype design of space and architecture: The so-called prototype and prototype design simply means to abandon some models and schemes of existing buildings and design space and architecture back to the original prototype. Many architects in the world are also aware of this, and aldo rossi and his typology are related to this. Tadao Ando also has the saying "fromzero". Tang Hua's studio is called "Zero Studio", which Zhang Zaiyuan interprets as "intangible" and "non-architectural". Zhang Yonghe's "Four Rooms" is a 300×300×300-foot residential prototype design. In this residence, the vertical glass house (199 1) is another example of prototype design. Here, space suddenly breaks away from gravity and becomes up and down, transparent or overlapping, just as Liu Ling wished in the Western Jin Dynasty-heaven and earth are homes and houses are clothes. Recently, Zhang Yonghe, as the head of the newly-established Peking University Architectural Research Center, hosted a competition entitled "No Family". Although the competition instructions are accompanied by incomprehensible words, I dare to assert that the "vertical glass house" in Zhang Yonghe is definitely the best "no room to go up and down".
The combination of art and space creation: performance art, installation art, scene art, earth art, etc. In recent years, it has been heated in the domestic art world, which is originally associated with architecture and space. Li Juchuan in Wuhan and Miqiu in Shanghai have also done some work in this respect, but they often fall into the trap of pure art and deviate from the original intention of space creation. In contrast, Zhang Yonghe maintained a high degree of rationality and realized concepts, behaviors and activities. Create with space. In fact, almost all Zhang's works embody this aspect, from "tube-concept object" in the 1980s to "viewing box-monument" in 1990, and finally to "experience creation" recently completed under the guidance of Tsinghua University Architecture Department. Personally, I am most interested in the head house and shirt house of 1990. Touzhai is the space where the head "lives", and it is a building made of wood and steel plates. The inner wall of Touzhai-the combination of helmet and breastplate-becomes a "shirt house", which is a simple work between model and building.

Personal quotations
Why don't architects in China know when they will be blessed? Because although China has 5000 years of traditional culture, it is actually a young society. There are not many collective memories of the past. Facing today's China culture, no one knows how to locate it, let alone how architecture represents today's culture. In this case, the owners and architects have become cooperative, and they are exploring new models. So many things are often over-designed, but this over-design represents a kind of vitality.
The courtyard on the bank of the canal is a brand-new interpretation of lifestyle and quality of life by architectural language. The whole project breaks the common way of "taking architecture as the center and landscape as the decoration", but makes the building and trees, water, stones and other elements form the living environment together, so that there is a vague boundary between the landscape and the building, making residents feel that the whole nature is a complete home.
