Abstract
The roof is an essential component of a building and is sometimes referred to the "fifth facade" by modern architects. It serves as a load-bearing element as well as being a significant aspect of the building's overall appearance. Throughout history, architects have often used the roof as a way to express their own distinctive design ideas. The primary area of research covered in this essay is the application and value of curved roofs in modern architecture. The article will start with the development of curved roofs from modern surface architectural design concepts and architectural science and technology, then select actual building cases to analyze the structure of curved roofs, materials, and design concept, and from the building bionic design, the user's space feeling, and the urban environment, the three aspects to explore its unique value in architecture. It is hoped that this will serve as a reference for future architectural design.
