Research On Old City Spatial Texture Controlling System

Many cities take the destroy-reconstruct way, without preserving the original culture and scale of the old cities, which lead to a growing conflict between the development and the protection of the old cities. And it causes the missing of the identities of old cities, continuation of the fault, urban space disorder, the energy loss and the lower of people feeling belonging.These facts also tell us:the original texture of cities is suffering from the ruthless damaging, and the special features and humane place are gradually disappearing too.How to ensure that the reconstruction will preserve the old city’s culture, vigor and diversity? How to preserve the original features while adapt to the modern life is the main problem to be studied and solved. Sheqi as a national historical and cultural name town, also faces this problem in the high-speed development process. The Urban Texture, especially as the representation of urban space shape, is not only the result of the development of city, and also can be used as an intervention of the direction of urban development and the forming of urban environment. The control of urban spatial texture plays a major role in the urban renewal and the continue of culture.This paper will give a simple introductive analysis of the related concepts and theory of urban spatial texture, which is the foundation theory of the construction of Urban spatial texture control system. And then by the analysis of the components city space texture, it points out that the urban spatial texture can be perceived through a series of embodied elements, which can be used to control the urban spatial texture.Referring to the layering of urban design, this article will divide the city space texture into three levels:the city level, the district level and the zone level three different level of city space texture is not the same as the representation of urban form, not its control depth and methods, which is the accordance the division of control level. Meanwhile, the forming and development of the urban spacial texture cannot be separated from the politics,the economy and the cultures of the cities themselves. So, in order to implement smoothly, these should be taken into consideration while constructing the control system of the UST. The standard of evaluating a UST is related to its goal. The priority of the construction of old cities is protection, then the evaluation for the old cities should be whether the new roads, blocks and buildings fit the original UST.Then, after the work done of the first two chapters and the analysis of the principle that should be followed while making the content of the control system, I’ll try to establish a more complete UST control system of a old city, which is supposed to apply quantitative index, plan calibration and article provision to control the elements and the maneuverability of the control system. Meanwhile, it is suggested that for old city the control system should be divided into two levels, each of which should be according to the control characteristics and statutory planning, which will be convenient to manage. In addition, it also puts forward that the legal planning should be combined to set up a three-party coordination mechanism to ensure the implementation of the control system.Finally, through the study of the historical culture and current texture of the old district of Sheqi, I put forward a control system of a UST, of which the internal elements’control points and control methods are based on the original old city’s UST. And it will specifically analyze the control of different scales in both the city level and the district level. It is believed that the it is necessary to take the control of the OUST into the management of city construction.Through the study of UST, the article propose that by establishing the control system of UST, a harmonious way can be found between the development and protection of old cities. Meanwhile in the case of Sheqi old city, I suggest that the implement of the OUST control system should be combined with the city construction management, combining theory with practice, willing to guide the solution of practical urban problem and provide references to urban planning and designing.
