Research On The Mechanism Of Urban Corridor Under The Perspective Of Meridian

Rapid urbanization in the country nowadays has resulted in many kinds of Urban Diseases.Our living condition is facing huge challenges,and the ongoing urbanization is restricting the city from growing healthily.Although recent researches on the subject of health of the urban organism has been developed to a certain level,most of these are based on the western Mechanism,that tend to support the “Disease Differentiation” theory that believes in“one treatment for one disease”,which however might not solve the problem of urban disease from a systematic,spatial perspective.Nevertheless,the traditional Chinese medicine study on the other hand,has endowed a system of theories and approaches that could be adopted for curing the diseases in urban organisms.From the urban organism perspective,the organisms have very close connections to the bioelement system of the city.Within the urban organism,different types of elements have formed different systems,structures,and functions in a organic order,which reflects the attributive character of life,and creates an interactive,diverse,and energetic spatial city quality.The Urban Corridor,being the linear element of the merian and the skeleton of the urban organism,is providing the organism with energy and nutrition,and plays a crucial role in the healthy growth and development of the city.Therefore,further researches on the urban corridor system is very important to the diagnosis and treatment to the urban disease.This article will adopt the holistic approach and the merian theory with other related principles in traditional Chinese medicine,looking from multiple scientific perspectives,and use the symptom-dialetic-treatment methodology of Chinese medicine,to establish the frame that connects urban health to the urban corridor system.Firstly it sets forth the understanding of urban disease.By examining the urban disease phenomenon in essence,it discourses that a city possesses the life property as a organism.It extracts the two major elements within the urban organism-the urban corridor and the urban function body,from a systematic perspective.It establishes and defines the concepts of urban corridor and the function body,and gives a analysis on the bioelement characteristics of the two.At the same time it points out that there are deep connections between the urban function body and the urban corridor,and that urban design could be the treatment and the construction of the relationship between the urban bioelements.Secondly it discourses the merian mechanism of the urban corridor from a dialectical perspective.It further discusses the connections between the urban corridor system and the bioelements,and analyzes the various functions,layers,and organizations of the merian mechanism;it forms the bio-structure of the urban corridor,and interprets the four mechanisms of the urban corridor-Connection and fractal,Active transmission,Induction and conduction,Balance adjustment from a systematic perspective.In the end it discusses the treatment,adopting the merian principle on the interactions between the merian system and the visceral organs.It analyzes the basic interactions that exits between the urban corridor and the urban function body including the internal force and the external connection,stating that there are interactions and connections between the urban corridors and urban function bodies in formal,functional and value aspects,and proposes the dredging treatment strategy of positive bidirectional interaction of internal and external circulation.Meanwhile it incorporates the cases of the life form of the integral urban space of Shenzhen,the life form of the space segment of Nanshan Disctict in Shenzhen,and the life form of the space segment of Qianhan district in Shenzhen,elaborating the growth and evolution of the city,the disease,and the treatments with a progressive approach from the integral perspective.Our country is now going through the transitional mode of land use following the idea of diminishing increment and optimization of resources,urbanization is entering the stage that focuses on enhancing the environmental quality and life quality,upgrading the organic system of the city.Integrating and building a humane,energetic,healthy and intellectual city has become the main theme and goal of the city construction.Therefore,adopting the strategy of “balancing and conditioning” is becoming crucial for the designing a healthy city.Borrowing the theories from Chinese medicine and the merian study,take the pulse of the city and nurse it through the urban corridor,find the problem of urban disease timely and take control of its operative pattern will help exploit the potential and opportunities during a city's development,enhance the efficiency and vitality of the urban space,and promotes a integral,balanced,healthy development of the urban organism.
