| Most of high-population regions in China share the same climate characteristic, which means hot in summer and cold in winter. In these regions, buildings must operate with high expense in order to resist ultra-temperature. With this background, it is particularly important to take effective measures, without consuming more resources, to adjust the microclimate of residential quarter so as to increase people's living comfortableness. Simply applying the strategies practised in cold north or blazing south will inevitably be trapped in a dilemma and fail to solve the opposite requirements properly. Outdoor space is, as indoor space, a important place where people live and communicate. However, little characteristic in climate adaptability in the residential quarter's outdoor space design is demonstrated—a conclusion drawn from investigations on 5 residential quarters in Wuhan. The researches in interrelated fields in our country still rest on the phase of theory introduction and qualitative description at present. Original aspect of the paper, however, lies in problems and defects by means of on-site experiments and relative theoretical analysis. Based on the different types of essential factors which the outdoor space is composed of , the author made a set of contrasted experiments. The paper tends to develop some basic principles in residential quarter's outdoor space design, including roads, afforestation, water and so on, which can meet the opposite requirements properly in hot summer and cold winter. Beside surveys, the author also used computer simulate calculation to research the relationship between architectural complex and natural ventilation, and the influence of high-rise buildings to the wind field. All these may readily be taken as reference for the plan and architectural design. At last the author try to sum up a series of exercisable strategies of residential quarter's outdoor space design in the hot-summer and cold-winter zone, based on the quantified studying. The thesis is one part of the research topic—Eco-design Strategies in Hot-summer and Cold-winter Area, supported by National Natural Science Foundation in China and directed by my professor. The paper finds its origin in a responsible attention on the eco-issues in China and the evidence-based design ensures a reasonable conclusion with eco-significance and contributes, by all means, endless resources to the architectural design and its creation. |
