Urban Design Strategies To Adapt To The Hot Summer And Cold Winter Zone Climate Research

How to protect the ecological environment, rational use of resources, and face to climate change, it is nowadays of causing widespread concern and a hot issue. On the other hand, in the current research and practice of urban design process, we always ignored the climate issue. Thus, it is particularly to promote sustainable urban development and create the ideal urban environment about the study on the climate adaptation strategies of urban design.The hot-summer and cold-winter zone in China is a wide range of geographical areas. And it's climate conditions is poor, with three characteristics of hot summers, cold winters, and high humidity year round. Therefore, In the process of responding to the extreme climate change, the idea of flexible and special-treatment should be taken, so as the integrated and contingency strategies of urban design to meet the different comfort needs of summer and winter.The study is starting from providing designer the feasible and practical approach of climate analysis and design. By combining with the special of climatic conditions of hot-summer and cold-winter, it analyzes and summarizes the Interacted mechanism and the corresponding between urban space shape and urban climate. And it is providing the urban climate adaptability guide strategies which is adapt to different urban levels of the macro, meso and micro.On the macro level study of climate adaptability design strategies, it takes the example for the specific cases of the Huayuan overall urban design. And it evaluates and analyze the climatic conditions by using the evaluation method of bio-climate charts climate comfort. And basic on the platform of GIS, refer to micro-climate principles that the different topography has different effects to the wind and sunshine, it evaluates the climate suitability of the urban construction land. And it makes specific guidelines for the urban spatial developing structure, urban traffic, urban high degree zoning and planning and design of urban green space system.On the mesosphere study of climate adaptation design strategy, it is providing climate adaptability guide strategies from the aspects of the construction groups layout, street space and landscape design, which takes the example of the urban design for the specific locations around Fuxing Road, Xiangtan. Among them, it defines the orientation difference and length difference of the shadow in winter and summer sunshine. And basic on the differences, it selects the location of the lounge area in open space.On the micro level study of climate adaptability design strategies, it is formulating the climate adaptability guide strategies from the five aspects of the plant configuration, the water in the form of design, material selection and paving, furniture settings and select, facilities layout, urban color choice, which takes the example of the urban design for the specific locations around Fuxing Road, Xiangtan.The research lays the basis for climate design of urban space, which is the combination of qualitative and quantitative and from the different levels and scales. It is to make thinking on the urban climate factors and response more scientific and normative in the in the process of the practice of urban design. And it is to provide effective guidance and reference for formulating climate adaptability design strategy.
