ABSTRACT

McMansion is a phenomenon in architectural design, whose emergence can be attributed to socio-cultural development, folklore history, economic development, public psychology and other factors, thus being an inevitable phenomenon of social development as well as a miniature of society. By observing the phenomenon of McMansion, exploring its causes, and exposing its essence, we can summarize the principles that should be followed in the design of residential buildings, and contribute to the development of residential design to make it better meet people’s needs. Drawing from lots of previous studies and cases, this article focuses on the study of McMansion, discusses the principles that should be followed in the overall design and individual design of residential buildings, and puts forward the idea that the design of the residential buildings should return to the essence of architectural design.
