Talking with the vitality of the regional architecture creation

[Paper Keywords]: the era of globalization, regional cultural expression

[Abstract]: new materials, new structures, new technology to bring the information age, but also bring the impact of the regional architecture, by exploring the creation of regional architectural factors, combined with the development of the times to create a people-oriented vitality of the regional architecture.
The building, a tree, they are rooted in this land, this land nourishment if it separated this land, in fact, its vitality will follow disappeared. The world, no two identical trees, and every tree has its own soul, and every tree in the long course of history in the mid-replacement of new foliage, mid-documented history of changes this is my geographical understanding of the building, she is a living tree.

In the globalization of information today, people around the unprecedented closer, but it also brings the impact of the regional culture, the city's downtown convergence phenomenon has begun to emerge. Began to doubt people travel in the city building, I Where, where it comes from and where each city should have its unique historical background and geographical and cultural characteristics, each city should be giving a different feel, a neighborhood, a building, or heavy or beautiful or the humanities, or leisure a lot of old buildings is dying, replaced by a cold, and no sense of belonging to the globalization of modern architecture, urban memory loss, like loss of memory pale and confused as a tree the ruthless deforestation, then feel free to grafting new branches.

In specific architectural design creation, we should look at the comprehensive analysis of the following aspects, design a real sense of life on the regional architecture.

Fully integrated with the local topography, climate and other natural conditions Architectural Creation

Specific natural environment is one of the most basic elements of the regional architecture of the natural environment, including meteorological climate, water flow, topography and species resources, and so on, in the building can be expressed as the lighting, ventilation, physical space. Cleverly combined the natural environment , in order to create a pleasant space and strong geographical features architectural form.

Back to the first feature of the building, she was as a human to resist wind and rain shelter, poor in material life period, whether in China or Europe are nesting or burrowing, is the form of the construction of a similar nature. Later, due to natural climate, different material conditions, the formation of the different cultural practices of life, people from different areas have different building development path according to the local topography, climatic conditions, local material conditions, such as hot and humid southern climate the mountain produce a dry bottom overhead Lanna-style architecture, the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River loess cliff horizontal hole dug, which we call the cave, northeast and southwest of the growth of this exuberant trees, they use logs 垒成 well is dry wall construction.

Give an example of respect for the local geography, climate and other natural conditions, the architect of Malaysia in the creation attention to the combination of tropical rainforest climate conditions, the creation of regional specialties building. Especially Ken Yeang successfully use bioclimatology the eco-design of the high-rise building measures, focusing on natural ventilation, the roof shading grid piece, exterior wall greening system and sunscreen, insulation, ventilation, energy conservation, and to maintain regional specialties
Another example the Wenchuan Shuimo Metro planning, home to education, people, tourism-oriented development to become a modern service-oriented town. Development of river water mill Metro Planning District mountain near the water due to the constraints of the terrain conditions, showing a landscape of urban form .

Reasonable architectural creation based on local resources

Thirty years of reform and opening up, China's economy rapid development, but at the same time we should also recognize that the current national conditions, that we are still in the economic development of the developing countries, the gap between the coastal and inland areas of economic development, East, in the western gap persists We should be based on the actual level of development and technical level of the specific areas to select the appropriate architectural creation.

The most suitable for the creation of the regional architecture green building in the whole life cycle of the building, to maximize resource conservation (energy, land, water conservation, and materials to protect the environment and reduce pollution, providing people with healthy applicable and efficient use of space, building in harmony with nature design techniques are mainly three kinds of departure from the building where the geographical design method to promote the use of local materials and traditional techniques, pay attention not only local, but also appropriate to introduce appropriate technology, three The use of the latest theories and the latest technologies to design, we should take full advantage of the local traditional techniques to create economic energy-efficient construction, not necessarily by the high cost of high-tech to deliberately pursue green building standards.

For example, once seen in the media reported the Jiaodong Peninsula seagrass room, the seaweed room can be said is the ecological houses one of the world's most representative. Growth of seaweed in the ocean contains large amounts of halogen and glial thatch advantages roof into a thick, warm in winter and cool in summer, but also has in addition to anti-moth, anti-mildew, nonflammable characteristics, living comfort, a hundred years is not ruined, won the favorite of local residents.

Another example is a simple, applicable and effective economic Shandong Jiaotong University Library ecological design. The building is located in Jinan City, Shandong Province, which is a 5 floors underground modern campus building, total construction area of ​​about 16,000 square meters. Including shading, natural lighting, the atrium and side tribunal natural ventilation, building envelope high performance The use of insulation, pool alternative cooling tower, authentic wind and other energy-saving technology, ordinary building materials used in the design, the ordinary appropriate technology to reduce the cost of materials and technology.

Building creative people-oriented, concerned about the development of the times

Throughout the history of the development of China's construction from the Qin brick tile brackets to the Tang Dynasty to the Song and Qing create a French every morning in every generation in the tradition of innovation and change have the history and culture of the era and technology branding are "new era architecture.

If the building can not be around the times change, so it will be stagnant. Bring changes in social attitudes and mindset updates with the advent of the information age, social development, greatly affect the aesthetics and values ​​of the people, social The lifestyle has also undergone a lot of change, and people's way of life, the pace of life is changing over time in the building space and form, direct material and spirit of the people to a certain lifestyle.

People-oriented, is the designer itself into the user's world, careful excavation of people in a specific area, their way of life, my heart, what are the feelings and needs of changing times. Designers often lack of life experience-depth understanding of the local life, what is the pursuit of the common people, loved, and climate factors, etc. If you do not have the life experience. fact it is difficult to create a truly local context, the geographical features of the building .

Architectural creation to inherit and carry forward the traditional national culture

Chinese architectural culture has a long history, rich and profound cultural philosophy, emphasis on the creative thinking "Heaven," the overall concept of harmony is a multi-ethnic country, the regional geographical conditions, economic, scientific and technological and architectural culture distinct geographical differences in traditional Chinese architectural culture precisely by each region, the distinctive architectural culture of various ethnic composition.

An interesting example, it was suggested to want to experience the charm of the ancient Tang and Song necessary to use the Shaanxi words read, the same token, no architectural creation with local traditional cultural fusion in architectural creation may ignores the most essential problem in many buildings.

Building attributes are territorial, and is relying on regional culture was born, the building can not be divorced from the cultural attributes. Country from north to south, from west to east, the different climate, environment, ethnic, building local geographical and cultural characteristics background, due to the different ethnic groups there are differences in the survival of the geographical environment, historical origins, psychological structure, ethics and ways of thinking. buildings as an important carrier of culture in all aspects of its penetration of the nation's cultural characteristics.

Extraction and deformation of local architectural forms, heritage building has artistic value culture such as the United States of SOM designed Shanghai Jinmao Tower by the success of the Chinese ancient Miyan Shi tower image abstract towering volume is divided into paragraphs the height of the bottom-up each segment is gradually reduced, Miyan Shi Guta imagery, and achieved satisfactory results in the expression of the geographical characteristics of Chinese architecture.

To sum up four points, not independent, but the mutual penetration and mutual influence a whole way of thinking, we should go to regional architectural creation, dialectical analysis of the local economy technology, traditional culture and modern life changing difference, from the macro to the details , from surface to deep thinking. "Architecture is the carrier of the regional culture specific location created a relatively unique geographical and cultural creative design should be adapted to local conditions, and the time, because of the material system should respect life, Stressing the quality, creating consistent with modern people need, but also has traditional features with the vitality of the regional architecture.
