让历史重归城市——以哈尔滨花园街历史街区概念设计为例

哈尔滨花园街历史街区概念设计提出"容器"的概念,即把城市和街区比作不同层次的"容器",认为历史街区之所以没落是因为"容器"本身的破败和其功能不能满足现代需求,因此对"容器"本身及其内容进行更新是街区重新恢复活力的途径."容器"本身的更新包括对地面空间的保护、更新及对地下空间的开发、利用."容器"内容的更新包括功能置换和人口置换.     

Assessment of material use in relation to climate in historical buildings

Climate is among the most significant factors on the environmental performance, life span and/or durability of construction materials in buildings. Although some historical buildings have been abandoned and neglected for a very long period, their existence through centuries can be explained because of their durability to climatic conditions of the area where they are situated. In this study, construction techniques and characteristics of building materials used in some madrasas (historical education buildings) in Western Anatolia (Turkey) were examined in order to evaluate the conditions of the buildings by taking into account climatic conditions of the region. The studied Western Anatolian madrasas, which are in the moderate climatic conditions, were constructed out of rubble stone, brick and mortar in random bond with local workmanship by local builders who continued the older traditions and have survived for more than 300 years without maintenance and repair. On the other hand, most of the madrasa buildings in Central and Eastern Anatolia, which are in the steppe climatic conditions, were differently constructed with cut stone on their exterior surfaces to prevent the main structures of the walls composed of rubble stone and mortar from harsh climatic conditions of these regions. This study indicated that construction techniques and building materials appropriate to the climate might have been intentionally chosen for the survival of historical buildings over the centuries.
