| With the progress and development with the Times,the phenomenon of cultural convergence is becoming more and more prominent as the unprecedented economic prosperity brought by globalization.Especially in the construction of urban and rural areas in China,the characteristic of regional culture is becoming more and more diluted and is gradually declining.The place spirit of the region is gradually missing.How to highlight the nature of the place and create a space filled with place spirit and also transmit the cultural individuality of the place at the same time with realizing the optimization of human settlement environment,combining with the construction of urbanization and the protection of regional culture,which has become an important topic of cultural protection.Protection and utilization of historical and cultural relics is an important task of urban culture construction in China at present stage.Acropolis as a historical and cultural relic,a kind of defense system of the Ming Great Wall,has been damaged and missing to some extent.Thus,it has important practical and theoretical significance for conducting a research on how to renovate and repair acropolis and protect its cultural qualities,so as to retain its nature of place at the same time with urbanization.The thesis chooses the Taozhou Acropolis,Gansu Province,as an empirical research object.Spatial environment,including landform,street space,residential features,cultural characteristics and heritage protection,of the Taozhou Acropolis is summarized,firstly,based on the extensive collection of human history and environmental information.Secondly,a questionnaire survey was used to collect the residents ’ cognitive data on the Taozhou Acropolis,on the basis of which,status of residents’ cognition to artificial environment and cultural environment is summarized using the satisfaction mean comparison and place Spirit Measurement Index Table.Then,current site conditions of the Taozhou Acropolis are judged by using urban imagery theory,spatial syntax and urban design techniques,Subsequently,the place space of the Taozhou Acropolis is tried to construct following the researches on the place spirit in development and renewal of the town.In the end,the thesis concludes,combining with the present cognition and place spirit perception,that the establishment of place spirit should be expanded to four aspects which are site perception,site imagery,place space and site characteristics.Thus,(1)instructive suggestions on architectural color,light,sound,material and food of the Taozhou Acropolis(corresponding to sight,hearing,touch,smell)are proposed to build site perception;(2)suggestions on the five elements of city image are proposed to build site imagery;(3)suggestions on street space and courtyard space are proposed to build place space;(4)suggestions on material expression and cultural expression are proposed to build site characteristics.From the analysis of the actual case of the TaoZhou Acropolis,this thesis deepens the strategies for the place spirit construction based on the urban design technique: the strategy for place experience construction is to increase the perceptual experience of the place multidimensionally;the strategy for urban imagery construction is to strengthen the recognition of urban imagery elements;the strategy for place space construction is to give full emotional links between space and human by the reorganization of space and nature;the strategy for site characteristics construction is to excavate and maintain the carriers of local features,and put it into concrete circumstances or cultural festivals.At last,this thesis summarizes that place spirit can be built from four aspects: constructing the multidimensional experience of the place,strengthening the easy recognition of the place,constructing the social intercourse space,and reconstruct regional characteristics.This thesis is aimed at proposing instructive suggestions for space construction in cultural sites,and may open a new perspective of historical and cultural heritage protection. |
