A Construction Study On The Facades Of Street Commercial Houses In Modern Period Of Nanjing

This study initiated from the author’s participation in the surveying and mapping work of the of the project of"34 Biao".The author was surprised that the western facades of the remnant buildings turned out to be a set of Chinese traditional mode and structure system.How were they built in modern times?How is the contradiction between the two construction systems resolved?The author intend to analyze the construction logic behind these various forms of facade from the perspective of constructive theory.The second chapter of the thesis discusses the traditional“Interface of Eaves"and the western"Facade".The author found that the traditional Chinese wood frame plus brick structure system is different from the western structure system.The research on the commercial facades in modern period Nanjing is based on the construction perspective and typology method.Firstly,the commercial building case along the street was divided into two parts.It was found that the two parts were structurally independent,and thus the two parts were respectively defined as the"Facade system"and the"House system".It can be seen that the"Facade system"and the"House system"are inevitably related on the scale of their respective width.The two systems are synthesized as"Commercial Building system in Modern Period of Nanjing".Finally,the author analyzed the composition and structural relationship of“Facade system"and"House system"respectively.It indicates that"Facade system"and"House system"are constructed under the basic Chinese and Western construction system,and the corresponding technical problems such as structure and drainage must be Solved.Finally,the article selects typical examples of commercial buildings in other cities in modern times.Modern commercial buildings along the street are important architectural cultural heritages in modern times.The author studied the construction logic behind the facade of modern commercial buildings in Nanjing,which has practical theoretical guiding significance.
