The Research Of Inlaid Techniques For Old Buildings’ Renovation And Transformation

Architecture is the art of image, while the city is the art of memory, a city without oldbuildings and old blocks is like a person without memory. A city’s memory is the reflection of acity’s characteristics. It truly reflects a city’s historical information and is an expression ofcultural landscape diversity. Ancient architecture is us human beings’ precious andnon-renewable resource and is the reflection of the city’s distinctiveness and charm as well. Thepolysemy of architectural language and the diversity of architectural style nowadays make thecoexistence of various views about architecture possible. Among them, the method forcombining of old and new is valued increasingly, because of its impact on increasing the urbandiversity、carrying the city’s memory、reflecting the traditional block structure、recording thetypical building style、adjusting the city space and driving the economic development. And so,This paper puts forward a design method of inlay during the renovation and transformation forold buildings. It is an active method for it would preserve the ancient architecture as well asinlaid the new architectural element, as a symbiosis union’s functions together meeting the newrequirements for use，and realising the sustainable recycle and reusing for old buildings.This paper is divided into four major parts. Based on the first part which would putforward and analyse the problem, the second part would summarize the form and classificationof inlay， and the characteristics of renovation and transformation for old buildings.The third part in the second part of the basis，extracted a design method and the practicesof inlay from the renovation and transformation for old buildings, Focuses on the functionalinlay、structural inlay、parts of inlay design techniques.In the last part，Narrative inlay techniques’s association in renovation for old buildings，①Mainly elaborated the significance of inlay techniques and application prospects；②Analyzeits relationship of sustainable theory and construction recycling theory；③Summed up the inlaypractices aesthetic significance；④Discusses the mosaic techniques theory on the development ofthe theory of building recycling，In the meanwhile，Inlay techniques provide a theoreticalsupport.
