Abstract

Understanding Liu Jipiao is inseparable from the broader context of modern China in the process of global modernization. The work aims to trace a personal exploration path of Liu Jipiao in modern design based on his understanding of modernism, from the design of the Chinese Art Exhibition in Strasbourg to the design of the entrance of the Chinese Pavilion at the Paris Exposition, and then to the reinterpretation of "fine art architecture design". After the national unification, Liu Jipiao was a key participant in the socialization of art during the New Culture Movement. He embraced the concept of "harmonizing the East and the West" and used it as a source of design methods and theories. Through specific design practices such as patterns and urban spaces, he attempted to visualize the imagined Chinese nation. Finally, this study summarizes Liu Jipiao's contributions to modern Chinese design as well as his limitations. With Liu Jipiao and his group as a clue, the study findings rediscover the preliminary practices and ideological origins of modern design in China, aiming to contribute to clarifying the history of Chinese modern design.

Key words
