The decorative pattern is a kind of organism formed by the combination of natural, social, cultural and other factors in a specific time and environment, which is the specific embodiment of regional or national cultural characteristics. It is a question worth exploring for the decorative pattern to be integrated into the modern city and show the city’s historical and cultural features. The Islamic decorative pattern is one of the important forms of Islamic culture and art, and the Chinese Islamic culture reflects the domestic Muslim’s history and customs, which is the product of the close combination of Islam and the Chinese society. Nowadays, the spread and development of the Islamic culture is more concentrated in a part of the city, and the commercial street is an important carrier of it. As a cultural identification of a city, the overall space environment and architectural landscape facilities of the commercial street should directly demonstrate the geographical and cultural characteristics of the city or district. But now the rapid urban construction and development makes these commercial streets’ landscape gradually lose its cultural charm, becoming single in form and function. Therefore, the research on the application of Islamic decorative patterns in the city’s commercial pedestrian street has great significance to the enhancement of the cultural identification of the commercial street, the construction of the culture atmosphere of high quality, and the heritage of the Islamic cultural features.Firstly, the paper defines the basic concepts of the Islamic decorative patterns and the landscape in the urban commercial street, making clear the research object and content. In tracing the history of Islamic decorative patterns, it makes summary on the pattern theme and artistic feature of it, dividing the theme pattern into the plant pattern, the geometric pattern, and the calligraphy pattern. It specifically illustrates its artistic features from three aspects: color, demonstration, and combination, summing up the basic ways of expression of the Islamic decorative patterns, paving the way for the further study of its application.Then, based on the composition classification of commercial street landscape and combined with the characteristics of Islamic decorative patterns, it selects three unique commercial streets: Urumqi Erdao Qiao national style commercial street, Changji Hui Snacks Street and Beijing Niujie to carry on the spot investigation, starting from the landscape elements of the basement interface, side interface and top interface of the commercial street, to summarize and analyze the application characteristic of the Islamic decorative patterns and the existing problems.Based on the above theory and case study, it puts forward the application strategy of Islamic decorative patterns in the landscape of the commercial street. It includes the application values of satisfying the decorative function of the landscape, reflecting the local cultural characteristics, and being conducive to the inheritance of ethnic culture, as well as the application principles of respecting the local characteristics, unifying the overall and the part, and the innovation of various models. It also illustrates the application carrier,color and material performance of the Islamic decorative patterns commonly seen in the commercial street landscape. Finally, the paper sums up five kinds of methods of direct extraction, compatible pattern, refined abstraction, scattering and restructuring, and summary.To apply the Islamic decorative patterns in the commercial street with Islamic geographical and cultural characteristics can not only shows the Muslim’s unique artistic features, but also reflects the whole nation’s pursuit of the good material and spiritual life. The use of the Islamic decorative patterns in the commercial street landscape can show more the national culture and let more people understand and attach importance to the inheritance and development of Islamic culture in China, which is also one of the purposes of the study. |
