| As the "Oriental Water City",Suzhou’s water system has always received much attention.From the protection plan of the riveraround to the successful application of the Grand Canal,water is as the same as blood of the ancient city,and water has also been the center of research and protection of Suzhou.Regarding the water system of the ancient city of Suzhou,the research mainly includes theoretical and practical research related to the change of the historical form of the water system,the water environment of the ancient city,water tourism and waterfront space.However,due to changes in the traditional way of life,the water system lost its traditional transportation function,and gradually became a static city sign,losing its activity.Suzhou as a famous historical and cultural city,"water" is the main landscape style.The decline of the water system will inevitably cause the ancient city to lose its soul and become desolate.Suzhou has always been known for its double checkerboard pattern.This double checkerboard pattern is an urban transportation structure formed by the interweaving of water networks and urban road networks.This article explores the traditional style of the ancient Suzhou water system through relevant data query,field investigations and status analysis.Based on the theory of living heritage,sums up the composition of the living elements of the ancient city,as well as the traditional landscape features of the water system,Put forward the strategy for the protection of Suzhou’s water system and the design methods to enhance the landscape style to promote the shaping of the characteristics of the water city and the continuation of the traditional water culture.Adhere to the principle of people-oriented,combine the water system with modern life functions,restore the water city atmosphere of historical upstream water,hydrophilic,and living water,and provide an effective water city style design improvement.This article sets out from the background of the protection of living heritage,through theoretical analysis,propose the composition of the elements of the living heritage,andthen combine the case studies of the related living heritage water city protection to summarize the methods of protecting and using the relevant types of living heritage,and use it as a theoretical guide for the improvement of the landscape of Suzhou ancient city.The theoretical guidance for ascension.For the analysis of the traditional landscape elements of the ancient city’s water system,a point of connection,linear space linkage,and the utilization of the space of the water system with points and lines are proposed,and with a series of points,a strategy for improving the landscape features of the water city is proposed.Through the investigation and analysis of the current water system,the specific point-like space and linear space related to the water system are specifically improvedin this way,the traditional transportation mode of water and land parallel in the ancient city is reproduced,the function regeneration of the ancient city water system in Suzhou is promoted,reproduce the soul status of ancient city water system and reshape the urban characteristics of water city. |
