The Exploration Of Space Built On Stilts With Architecture Typology

Space built on stilts is a common space form in the traditional and contemporary architecture. It can permeate indoor and outdoor environment, and also adapt to changes in the level of the terrain. This article explores the new meaning of "space built on stilts" on the basis of the basic concepts, and introduces the concept of the generalized space built on stilts.The author systematic analysis the "space built on stilts" with the typological thinking.First of all, this article sums up the background, the previous researchs, the significance of the study and the main content of the article. Then the author analysis the architecture typology,and makes the conclude that the architecture typology is very important to the study of the space built on stilts. The design of the space built on stilts with the typological method include two phases:the typology phase and the form generation phase.In the phase of typology, the author analysis the traditional and regional space built on stilts and elaborates theirs meanings with six examples, this artical analysis their form features, Spatial Structure and applications. Then, this article abstracts the traditional space built on stilts with architecture typology and generates four types of "meta-language" of the space built on stilts.The phase of typology represents the relationship of design and past.In the phase of form generation, we make the basic form constraction with the selected type,and respond to the environment and urban context,in order to complete the change of "meta-language" of space built on stilts. This process includes the deformation and the conversion of the type based on the reality situation, and the generation of locus meaning of the space built on stilts surface structure. The phase of form generation shows the interaction of design and present and future. This article proofs the rule of space built on stilts morphogenesis by examples of Callaratese II Houseing in Milan, Shanghai World Expo China Pavilion and Changde Museum complex. It is expected that:the article may enable the piled house, which was forgotten in reality but succeeded far long ago, to rebirth; to support for mordern piled house’s renew and development. In the course of applying it to the practical problems, it can provide a basis theory for architects.In the conclusion,the article pointed out that to promote the development of space built on stilts,we must attach importance to the logical of generated method. If we use architecture typology to analysis the rules of space built on stilts morphogenesis,it will help us break away the one-sided thoughts of superficial analysis surface form. The typology design of space built on stilts should include:1. The analysis of the environment;2.The rational thinking of the historical context;3. the inheritance and the development of the spirit of locus.
