| Our country,China,has a vast territory.The ecological environment assumes the feature of diversification and the styles of traditional dwellings are also distinctive.Through the ages,local people have constructed living spaces according to the characteristics of given environment,endowing these constructions with regionalism.As a relatively stronger representative in the aspect of ecological adaption,these traditional dwellings adjust to nature,conserve energy,protect environment as well as regulate interior climate independently.Compared with contemporary architecture,traditional raw soil residence is a comprehensive product of accommodating to local geographical climate,other natural conditions and human habitation factors,whose emergence and development is the result of people’s chronic adaption to the natural environment.With rapid socioeconomic development,people have to face up to the increasingly deteriorating living environment when letting themselves relish in comfort and convenience brought by material civilization.Therefore,building ecological living environment and establishing the sustainable development concept has become the contemporary society’s consensus.The significance of researching raw soil residence is not only to inherit regional culture and carry the traditional construction techniques forward,but to find appropriate strategies and methods for the promotion of this area’s living environment.Based on the existing ecological environment of Loess Plateau in the mid-western part of China,the research chose raw soil residence as the object of study.First,it did the diachronic research on the spatial form and the settlement environment under the influence of historical environment.Then,the research conducted the synchronic study in the method of comparative classification about dwellings made of different raw soil materials,summarized ecological experience received from the evolution of local raw soil dwellings and the construction techniques and put forward questions facing the area’s traditional raw soil dwellings under the social background of rapid economic development.Next,aiming at the unique regional gene on the long-term formation of raw soil dwellings in the Loess Plateau,the research did some analysis on several aspects,including noumenon space,cultural tradition,ethical aesthetics and ecological consciousness.It also deeply dug into the cultural aesthetic value system of raw soil dwellings,and analyzed gene of culture and aesthetic rules contained.At last,the research explored the strategy to update and developed the traditional cave dwellings in Loess Plateau,at the same time,the theory of rural raw soil dwelling organic regeneration has been verified by typical case study.In addition,the study has also looked into the future development in the western rural areas of the raw soil dwellings.In conclusion,combined with the local climate,topography,humanity,economic and social conditions,the focus on rural raw soil dwellings is supposed to begin with its inner essence of development and the residents’fundamental living demands,through the organic integration of re-designed functional space on the raw soil dwellings with appropriate technology,correctly guiding the rural residents to improve the living quality of the environment,protecting of the natural ecological sustainable development,reconstructing soil cave dwellings,and finally realizing the harmonious coexistence between man and nature.The organic application in the inheritance of geographic culture and the building intelligence of traditional raw soil dwellings not only affirms the value of traditional raw soil dwellings in modern life,but explores the developing direction of raw soil folk houses in the future which helps to choose a ecological sustainable development road for the future. |
