Abstract:The “Horizon Fusion” principal of hermeneutical aesthetics combines the past view with the present view, thus in contemporary environmental design, “regeneration” and “conservation” of historical and cultural architecture could be conducted. According to the “Effective-History” principal, art works’ life (including architecture art) is beyond the time limit, and people from different times have different interpretations of the same work. The “Legitimate Prejudice” principal offers an aesthetic perspective on how personal consciousness and even the whole society consciousness could affect people’s interpretations with regard to architectures, and based upon which, people could change and expand the function of architectures. Under the influence of reception aesthetics,environmental design is focused on the receivers, which is the real need of environment users in order to make design more humanized.
