| Modernity is a kind of abstract summarization to the general characteristics of modern society and circumstance of human survival. Thought of Modernity have a two-way field of vision:one is the rationality, which encourage people to apply the science and technology, give priority to efficiency, strive for instrumental rationality and formal rationality and purse economic efficiency; the other is sensibility, which encourage the cultural aesthetic, pay attention to criticism and introspection, strive for value rationality and substantive rationality and purse artistic quality. Today, there are confrontations in the two fields of vision.In the field of rural human settlement, they are mainly marked as the controversial issues about humanism and naturalismã€modern form and traditional form etc.Modernity provides a viewpoint to observe rural human settlements of Kunming basin area. At the same time, it also provides paths to think the problems for promoting to find strategies to solve them, causing introspection consciousness to obtain the theory of motivation of the continued progress. The thesis discusses the modernity thoughts for holding its essence firstly, and then reorganized the spatial cognition of rural human settlement of Kunming basin area, based on the view of cultural differentiation and self-discipline and sense of worth which care about criticism and introspection, which prepared theoretical support for searching for the renewing strategies.Based on the theoretical framework and the actual situation of Kunming basin area, the thesis analyzes various phenomena in rural human settlements, and summarizes the reasons why the villages lose its spirit slowly when becoming more modernization is the result of the spreading and guiding of modernity thoughts and the popularization of modern technology:(1) Man-Land relationship is no longer harmonious but nervous because of the pursuit of economic efficiency while ignoring environmental ethics;(2) Content of daily life becomes poor because of the pursuit of modern daily life instead of the traditional form of daily life;(3) Traditional vernacular architecture with characteristic gradually abandoned because of the rationalization caused by technology promotion and the aesthetic pluralism caused by information dissemination.Based on the above conclusions, the thesis studies renewing strategies pertinently combined with the reorganized content framework of the human settlement, putting forward Ecological Adaptation Strategy which considers environmental ethics, Situational Reconstruction Strategy which emphasis daily life and Low-Technology Coupling Strategy which inherit local characters to deal with the future practices of rural human settlements renewal:First of all,Ecological Adaptation Strategy observes and studies rural human settlements from the macro level perspective, giving the priority to the environmental ethics, it use the scientific methods to establish a balance between the artificial built environment and the natural environment to coordinate Man-Land relationship.Secondly, Situational Reconstruction Strategy observes and studies rural human settlements from the meso-level perspective. The traditional daily life form of rural is one of the most important traits. The design of village public space should take reflecting the rural life trait as oriented, use fragmentation technique to deal with the public spaces, and make it become the scene stage in where rural traditional daily life occurred.Finally, Low-Technology Coupling Strategy discusses the inheritance of the vernacular architecture from the micro-level perspective. Local residential buildings is the most important material carrier of rural characteristics, is the most direct display of the scene of the countryside. The practices of rural human settlements renewal must consider the inheritance of local residential buildings. |
