The Configurational Research Of Earth Sheltered Architecture In Cityscape Space

Nowadays, with non-stopping city problems come out, a large population hasbeen pouring into the town where the space is very crowded. The social mode and citydevelopment still need to continue, however, land in city is increasingly scarce. Thefundamental solution to those contradictional phenomenons in city is having a newunderstanding of city and architecture. While land of city is limited and needs of cityspace is increasing, residents put their attention on space of cityscape. The articledeveloped under these precondition and dedicated to researching the essence ofarchitecture and ways of mixing cityscape and architecture.First, with explanation of cityscape and architecture related to earth shelteredarchitecture concept, we could make sure that the new definition of earth shelteredarchitecture in rapid-development city, the nature advantages are built in city and thepossibilities and necessities of connecting earth sheltered architecture with cityscape.Then, after determining the range of research, we form research methods and thecore content of research target by introducing space configuration theory. Indeed, thepaper focuses on the relationship of earth sheltered architecture and differentcityscape spaces, also the strategy and principles to build cityscape spaces. Theconfigurational theory overall analysis complex correlation factors in space, thensimulate and predict the influence of built environment systemly by the method ofanalysising data. In a sense, configuration is a thinking method that parts form awhole and the overall influence the parts’ spatial organization and composition. Thepaper base on these theories, to find suitable use in different configuration ways ofcityscape from the influence of earth sheltered architecture to space. In this way, wecould meet the needs of residents by connecting those useful cityscape spaces.In the end, classifying cityscape space according to different space form, therecomes building cityscape space, plaza cityscape space, park cityscape space, streetcityscape space and waterfront cityscape space. In different stages of planning, wewill have different strategies and ways to deal with different problems.Thosestrategies and principles differ with standard guidance in traditional architecturetheory, while it should be objectively through analysis and research of currentsituation to achieve probable space design and configuration ways in future.Under different cultural background, different economic conditions and different people demands, there will come totally different needs. The configuration of spaceitself becomes more complex and subtle. So, the conclusions of the paper fordesigning that are optional or even just reference options. We want to pursuescientifically observations, analysis and visual feedbacks, evaluation while uniformcriterion.
