小隐建筑秉承“以意赋象，以象见意”，诗画创作结合东方哲学思考的建筑创作方法，是"天人合一"的东方哲学思想的抽象建筑表现形式，是对诗意生活的向往和情景再现。意象作为人与自然相通的媒介，是一种“场景化”的存在，包含了现实与想象。意象建筑以自然和人文意象中提炼出来的建筑元素构建场景，赋予建筑强烈的可读性和可识别性，进而形成叙事性的建筑空间，表达出特定的审美观点和艺术性的文化共情感，实现建筑的艺术升华。

Archermit adheres to the method of 'Endowing forms with Ideas, perceiving Ideas through forms.' It combines poetry and painting with the contemplation of Eastern philosophical ideas in architectural creation. It represents an abstract architectural form of the Eastern philosophical concept of 'harmony between man and nature,' It is an aspiration for a poetic life and the reenactment of scenes.As a medium connecting humans and nature, imagery is a 'scenario-based' existence that encompasses both reality and imagination. Imagist architecture uses architectural elements extracted from natural imagery and human imagery to construct scenes, endowing the architecture with strong legibility and recognizability, thereby creating narrative architectural spaces. It expresses specific aesthetic viewpoints and artistic cultural empathy, achieving the artistic sublimation of architecture.

意象在建筑实践中追求美学性和实用性的平衡，在保证建筑的功能要求和视觉效果的同时，最大限度地满足人们的精神审美需求，重新塑造建筑设计的意义和价值，重新审视固有的建筑设计审美，促进建筑与社会相互契合的关系。意象建筑希望能将实用主义和美学平衡这一概念变得容易理解和掌握，让建筑能同文字一样，被大众更容易地解读，为抽象的理论概念变为具体新颖的设计表述，带来了新的思路和可能性。

In the practice of imagist architecture, a balance between aesthetics and practicality is pursued. While fulfilling the functional requirements and visual effects of architecture, it maximizes the satisfaction of people's spiritual and aesthetic needs, reshaping the meaning and value of architectural design, and reevaluating inherent architectural design aesthetics. This fosters a harmonious relationship between architecture and society.Imagist architecture aims to make the concept of balancing pragmatism and aesthetics easy to understand and grasp, allowing architecture to be interpreted by the public as easily as texts. It transforms abstract theoretical concepts into concrete and innovative design expressions, bringing forth new ideas and possibilities.
