Analysis of the Spatial Structure of Traditional Settlements in North China --- Take Yujia Village as an Example
School of Architecture and Art, Shijiazhuang Railway University, Shijiazhuang 050043, China
| Abstract: | Traditional settlements are an important material carrier of China's history and culture, carrying the unique cultural and spiritual connotations of generations. China has always attached great importance to the study of traditional architecture. Most of the existing researches on settlements focus on the traditional settlements in South China, however, the traditional settlements in the north also have very high research value. This article mainly uses the space syntax theory and its related software to analyze the whole shape and the spatial structure of Yujia village, which is a traditional settlement in North China. Different from previous qualitative or typological studies on settlements, spatial syntax has led us to the study of settlements into quantitative fields. What is more valuable is that spatial syntactic analysis not only bases on the users’ perception of space, but also provides a new combination for the study of the humanities and space. While carrying out the quantitative research of space, we must make a comprehensive analysis of the relevant humanistic elements so as to ensure the comprehensiveness and integrity of the methodology. The study of the spatial structure of traditional settlements can help us to formulate practical planning plans in the wave of urbanisation, so that the historical lineage can be better developed and passed on. |
