Research On The Design Of Xiushan Thean Hou Guild Hall

Architecture is an important way for human to survival in nature. Its formation is under a close relationship with the corresponding geographical environment. As one of the basic properties of architecture, Regionalism resulted from a long process of architecture interacting with evolution, ecology, nature, society and humanity factors in a specified age and a certain place. With the impact of globalization on indigenous culture becoming increasingly prominent, Regionalism maintenance as an essential means of maintaining regional culture-diversity has been valued by architects around the world. Chinese architects come to realize that the Regionalism study on traditional Chinese architecture features attach much importance to inherit Chinese culture and continuing the spirit of place. How to develop building geographical features and vitalizing traditional space is still significant topic need to be explored.Based on the process of designing the actual project Xiushan Thean Hou Guildhall, the research is mainly to survey on the traditional architectural design under the impact of diverse national and regional cultureThe introduction defines the historic building reconstruction, rehabilitation and the concept of the traditional architectural style and deeply analyzes the meaning of the study on updating the traditional architectural space and the reconstruction of regionalism. Moreover, it proposes thesis’ s framework and briefly reviews China’s current geographic and architectural theories.The article consists of four parts to explain the design of the Thean Hou Guildhall. In the context of Southeastern Xiushan minority cultural district, the first part outlines geographical and cultural characteristics of the local geography, ethnic folk culture, traditional market town and residential buildings.The second part studies the traditional Guildhall building in southwest by extensive literature research and field research. In addition, it explains the relevant historical and cultural background of the formation of the traditional Guildhall and summarizes the architectural features, interior features and other aspects of construction. Moreover, combined with the development of Matzo culture, this part surveys on Thean Hou Guildhall ’s architectural significance’s transition as the geographical change and summarizes the design features of customary guild hall in a multicultural context in order to provide a basis for exploring the same type of buildings.The third part, including the design concepts and design methods for the specific project, is mainly to research on the creative design process under specific environmental conditions involving traditional regional architecture through analyzing cultural positions, plan layouts, architectural models, spatial characteristics, detail decorations, and building technologies.Finally, according to the design experience accumulated from the process, the last part outlines the geographical features of traditional architecture which have multicultural connotations. Furthermore to explain how to reconstruct traditional architectural space and the surrounding environment in view of the impact of natural ecology, local conditions and the actual requirements; how to inherit and promote traditional architectural form with heritage features and to bestow the fresh content and features on it in order to adapt to the modern functional requirements. At last, this part answers how to use local construction techniques innovatively and restores traditional architectural form and summarizes the architectural design methods with regional immigrant cultural characteristics to guide future design.
