A Typological Study On Eco-architecture

Environment has been destroyed in the earth today; we are rethinking the modern architecture before one hundred years bring what to us. In face of the pressure of the realistic environment, the views of ecology and sustainable development are paid attention to increasingly. It's because the deteriorate of environment not only cumber the development of society but also directly intimidate the survival of human today. So, under the sustainable development strategy, the necessity to reconstruct the relations between Man and nature, built the new architecture development conception is commonly understood. Ecologic architecture is regarded increasingly. This thesis makes an analysis of the Ecologic architecture and its theory based on the architectural typology theory. The paper falls into seven parts. The first chapter is the survey of the paper. The second chapter regards the true characteristics of eco-architecture as the 'environmental 'and 'technological '. The third and the fourth chapters of the thesis make a research on the architectural typology theory and its design methods, systematically dealing with its effect on the architectural form. Then based on the theory of Renyer Banham and architecture typology, the author divides the typology study on eco-architecture into tree categories: the conception typology; the special arrangement and formal structure typology; the component and the component arrangement typology. The fifth chapter deals with the ecological conception type. It Starts from researching on the architecture design of the correlative field. The author summarizes the developmental rule of the western architecture with ecological concerns and tries to deeply analyze the theory and practice of the architecture with ecological concerns in the western history. So the author wishes to obtain the character of each phase. The sixth chapter is on he special arrangement and formal structure typology. The first part of it is a survey on two comparative types: courtyard and pavilion; the second part of the chapter discusses 24 bio-climatic types which are derived from the methodology and practices of Ken Yeang, the world-famous bio-climatic architect. The seventh chapter mainly examines two eco-component typologies: the evolution typology study on eco-chimneys and double-wall constructive type. Finally summarizes the whole thesis.
