Design&Research On Mongol Architecture In Hohhot, Inner Mongolia

This paper through the study of historic culture and geographic characteristics of Hohhot City discusses the problems of the style and feature of urban architecture as well as regional architecture characteristics in Hohhot City in combination of relevant theories and design practices. This paper attempts to explore a mode which can play a positive role for future development and construction of Hohhot City from the perspectives of traditional regional characteristics and regional characteristic architecture, and expects to provide certain reference for urban style and feature construction as well as urban development in other regions of China while effectively guiding style and feature planning and construction of Hohhot City.In combination of historical development of Hohhot City, this paper preliminarily studies regional characteristics and features of urban architectural style, urban planning and development direction of Hohhot, and specifies the major factors influencing urban architecture style and feature of Hohhot. Through detailed research of three major factors influencing urban architecture style and feature of Hohhot:geographical factor, economic form and minority culture, this paper further discusses regional division principle of the capital of Inner Mongolia with regional features and the start point of urban architecture style and feature.Through analysis and study of traditional folk patterns of the Mongol nationality, basic elements of architecture and major factors forming urban style and feature of Hohhot, this paper probes into architectural design strategies and regional planning schemes under specific geographical environment and cultural characteristics in combination of design practice. In addition, this paper systematically designs and studies the style and feature for streetscape at both banks of Xiaohe River in Yuquan District of Hohhot City. In the practical design, large quantities of development experience and design cases of other cities are used for reference. This paper finally summaries design and study strategies for style and feature of urban architecture, in hope of providing new thoughts for construction and planning of this special city-Hohhot.
