Abstract

At present, Chinese desakota region, which has attracted increasing attention on the Internet, has been struggling with the chaos of regional construction. Taking the architectural design of Evergrande Football Stadium in the urban fringe of Guangzhou as an example, this paper discusses a typical communication case on the architectural design review and public aesthetics. It is a typical example of Chinese ugly buildings identified by netizens, which has become a hot topic in the public eye. Firstly, the background of architectural aesthetics in the desakota region is analyzed and then the evolution of postmodernism in China is summarized in three stages. It is considered that since its first appearance in the 1980s, postmodernism still plays a role in the rapid urbanization stage of the current desakota region in China, which has been reflected in the diverse architectural form.
