Localising the Global

The received view of China and much of Southeast Asia is that it is uncritically importing Western architecture and urban design. In reality, though, urbanisation is far more complex than this. Is there more to an English-style town in China or a Chinatown district in a US city than straight pastiche? Kyong Park looks at the level of local translation involved with appropriation in a Chinese and South Korean context.     

Rahul Mehrotra Associates

Rahul Mehrotra maintains a diverse and active role as an architect, urban activist, writer and teacher. His book Bombay: The Cities Within (1995), with Sharada Dwivedi, is a major enquiry into the history and sociology of India's vivacious and contentious urbanism. He finds his city of practice - Mumbai - a mine for quarrying architectural ideations and languages. Unlike most regions in India that may have to adhere to a conformist cultural agenda, Mumbai offers a conceptual freedom in traversing the traditional and contemporary as the city has its particular plurality in the intertwining epochs, attitudes and ‘coming together and moving apart of the past and present’. Multiplicity is thus axiomatic in Mehrotra's interpretation of the city, although this is transferred in his architecture as a dialogical juxtaposition of public and private, exteriority and interiority, natural and industrial materials, and the traditional and contemporary. Interiority, arising both from reasons of climate and urban conditions, is an abiding theme in Mehrotra's work and is articulated through reified courtyards and walls that also retain an intimate conversation with the larger landscape. From residences to large complexes, he uses these elements with great craft and finesse to create dramatic spaces with changing palettes of materials, colours and phenomenally modulated differences between the exterior and interior.‘In our projects, the approach has been to abstract and interpret spatial arrangements as well as building vocabulary,’ he says. ‘The idea is to combine materials, to juxtapose conventional craftsmanship with industrial materials and traditional spatial arrangements with contemporary space organisation. In short, to give expression to the multiple worlds, pluralism and dualities that so vividly characterise the Asian landscape.’ Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

农村庭院水窑设计及水质保护措施

通过对沙河市丘陵山区降水特性的分析,得出了该区降水具有年内非常集中,全年降水量的80%左右集中在汛期(6~9月),而汛期降水量又主要集中在7月和8月的结论;根据降水特性计算了可集水量,并进行了水窑设计计算;依据当地生活水平进行了供水水量平衡调节计算;依据国家饮用水水质标准,对典型水窑水质进行评价,提出了水质净化的水质保护措施,从而为类似地区开展庭院饮水水窑工程设计提供了参考依据。     

当代居住小区院落空间的再塑造--以大连市为例

随着居住小区规划结构从小区-组团-院落的三级空间划分向小区-院落的二级空间划分转变,以及“均好性”规划理念的提出,宅前院落空间的设计越来越受到重视。本文通过对大连市内几个居住小区的实地调研,分析总结了当代宅前院落空间的设计及使用情况,并提出了一些改进的意见。     

合院住宅在北京的使用与流布——从乾隆《京城全图》说起

本文以乾隆《京城全图》为依托,讨论了明代至民国时期合院式住宅在京城的使用与流布情况。指出明代朱元璋制定的适用于大官人之“样房”可以看作后世标准合院的先导,它强调了与廊院相关的一正两副型院落的官宅身份,并促成这种院落获得了较大的流布空间;乾隆时期京城一正两副型住宅的采用是有限的,而标准合院更少;民国时期,由于社会的错动以及北京人口的增长,不但造成一正两副型住宅数量的增加以及合院的“平民化”,并且连曾经十分少见的抄手游廊也成了所谓北京“典型民居”的必配要件。     

建筑中庭空间的类型设计

通过对中庭空间这种具有庭院空间特色的建筑内部空间的探讨,归纳出中庭空间表现及运用的几种类型,并对此进行扩展,说明其在现代建筑设计方面的重要作用。     

传统窑居的演进与合院式住宅的定型

以中国北方黄土高原典型的风土聚落静升村为例,针对传统窑居的演进与定型进行了分析,并揭示了其中的控制性因素。通过人类学方法的运用,分别探讨了靠崖窑在选址、空间与环境方面的特征;火炕在窑居生活中的核心作用,敞院对靠崖窑的继承与发展;以及风水禁忌对宅院格局的影响。结果表明,窑洞与火炕是中国北方黄土高原地区居住体系形成与发展的基础所在,以“大游年法”为代表的风水理论与传统生活禁忌则从心理与实践两方面导致了合院式住宅的最终定型。     

院落意义的符号学分析

院落的意义在于居住者对它所提供的生活方式的认同，在于它所带来的院落“能指”——居住环境和“所指”——居住者的生活方式、社会交住方式的和谐关系，而此代码在现代集合住宅中的被扭曲和遗忘引发了居民对院落中亲密的邻里关系的怀念。
