Research On The Renewal Design Of The Public Space In The Historical And Cultural Blocks

As the material carrier of traditional culture and residents’ life in historical cities,historical and cultural blocks are the important areas to protect the local context,inherit the historical culture and display the city’s style.But because of the long-term development of the city,the backward infrastructure,the dirty living environment and the monotonous life pattern have been formed,which make it gradually isolated from the modern society and continue to decline with time.The protection and renewal of the block are facing great challenges.In particular,the public space in the block,which are the carrier and window to carry the cultural essence of the block,show the historical features of the block,and provide the living space of the residents.How to maintain the regional,cultural and integral nature of the public space in the historical and cultural blocks in the modern and rapid urban renewal and construction has become the most important part of the protection of the historical and cultural blocks.Since May 2016,General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out that the Tongzhou,a sub-center of Beijing,should be built.Since ancient times,Tongzhou has been the center of Beijing’s military and transportation hubs.Today,it is also an urban sub-center of Beijing,and its status plays a decisive role.the South Street historical and cultural district in Tongzhou’s old city is the core area of Tongzhou’s Old City and is the cultural foundation for the development of Tongzhou.Therefore,the renewal and design of the public space in the historical and cultural blocks of South Street has become an important content of the planning for the inheritance of historical culture,the improvement of the public city life and the shaping of the features of the city’s characteristics,which is of great significance to the realization of the revival of the historical and cultural blocks of the South Street.Therefore,this paper takes the historical and cultural block of the South Street of the old city of Tongzhou,Beijing as an example,to study the renewal and design of the public space in the historical and cultural blocks,and to discuss the methods and key points of the block renewal design in the process of rapid urban construction.After summarizing the relevant theoretical research on the renewal design of historical and cultural blocks at home and abroad,the thesis finds that predecessors have different research focues on the design of public space update design theory in historical and cultural districts.,Either heavy space or heavy matter,the research theory is lack of systematicness and comprehensiveness.Then the paper studies the related concepts,summarizes the characteristics,types and problems of the public space of historical and cultural blocks,and then puts forward that the comprehensive and systematic public space renewal design should be carried out from three aspects of material,space and culture,and the typical cases are analyzed and summarized on these three levels.The key points of renewal and design of public space in historical and cultural blocks under different levels of emphasis are put forward.Based on the analysis and summary of the theoretical basis and actual cases,the article proposes to study the renewal design of the public space in the historical and cultural blocks from three layers of material environment,space structure and cultural characteristics,including the conclusion of the two aspects of the design principles and the design points.At last,taking the historical and cultural block of South Street as the practice object,the research results are applied to the case of public space renewal design.On the basis of historical research and present situation analysis,the main points of the renewal design of the public space in the historical and cultural blocks of the South Street are divided into three steps: In the material environment,it is optimized from three aspects of block building texture,street road road and green planting landscape.In the urban space structure,the spatial structure of the population and the construction of the order and the overall commercial space structure are perfected.In terms of cultural characteristics,it emphasizes the multicultural protection model under the principle of contextual juxtaposition and the construction of multiple public space nodes in the neighborhood,and emphasizes that “catalyst” activates public space nodes in order to promote the gradual development of the neighborhood and it is important to realize the full revival of the neighborhood.The final conclusion is part of the proposal and summary of the updated design principles and points of the public space in historical and cultural blocks.
