Study On The Construction Of The "Living Pathway" Walking Space

The old city is an area with diversity,which may include both historical and modern buildings.There are lots of residential areas in these old cities,which are messy,high density and spontaneous growing,where many residents are still living in.In the process of protection and renewal for such areas,we not only need to pay attention to the historical buildings,but also consider the daily requirements of the existing residents for the overall improvement of the residential environment.The theme of this paper is based on the problem,and the Xiamen port area,as a representative area of the old city in Xiamen,is selected as a research object.The paper focus on the micro-renovation design of the walking space of the old residential area in this district.With the inspire of the bottom-up community development in Taiwan,in chapter II,the author analyzes the practice case "living pathway" designed by the architect Huangshengyuan,then compares the new forestry centre area in Luodong and the Xiamen port area from various aspects.Combined with the relevant theories and practical cases at home and abroad,the author draws some design strategies,then decides the goal of the design.In chapter III,the author conducts the pertinent research on the design of the living pathway in the Xiamen port area by visiting the surrounding area to understand the transformation direction and the status quo of the internal pathways,and determines the entrance and the path of it after a comprehensive assessment.Chapter IV is the design of the living pathway.The author puts forward the conjecture on the walking loop,and carries on the renewal design about the three sections and ten node spaces in the pathway to improve the environment and the facilities in the walking space.The author tries to find a way to the design from analysis and induction,but the lack of practical engineering experience makes the results very immature.The author hopes that the problem raised in this paper can be better solved someday to create a better public walking environment for the residential districts in the Xiamen port area.
