Research On The Regeneration Design Of Living Space In Seaweed House Settlement From The Perspective Of Symbiosis

With the continuous improvement of the economic level in our country,people’s requirements for the living environment are increasing.Driven by the background of urbanization,the contradiction between the modern lifestyle represented by the city and the traditional lifestyle represented by the countryside has increased sharply,and historical villages are facing renewal and transformation.The seaweed house known as the "living fossil of folk house" cannot escape from the torrent of urbanization as well.Some seagrass house renovation projects did not improve people’s living space,but created the loss of the historical features of some villages.In this context,during the postgraduate period,the author investigated and studied the seaweed house settlement in Rongcheng,Weihai in depth,combined the professional knowledge,and tried to transform and optimize the living space of the seaweed house settlement through architectural design.Further,new ideas for the protection and regeneration of seaweed houses are proposed.At present,the research of domestic seagrass house mainly focuses on its local history and culture,the ecosystem,and the construction technology.There is no more detailed and special research on the artistic value of building space and renovation strategies of the seagrass house.Here,the research object is taken as the living space of the seaweed house settlement in Ningjinsuo Town located in the coastal area of Jiaodong.Through two levels of the book "New Symbiosis Thought" by Kurokawa Kishang and his architectural works,this article analyzes the inner meaning of "Holy Domain" and "Intermediate Domain" in the theory,and constructs a logical framework of design methods that can be used to solve many problems in the living space of seaweed house settlements from the perspective of symbiosis.Due to the damage of the existing seaweed house settlements in different degrees,it is difficult to generalize from a certain village.The author therefore conducted three investigations on seven historical villages(i.e.,Quge Village,Bahe Kongjia Village,Ningjinsuo Village,Liu Village,Wanmaxingjia Village,Dongdun Village,and Wali Village in Ningjin Town,Rongcheng City),and recorded and sorted out the spatial form,construction technology,functional and non-functional details of the seaweed house buildings in each village.Moreover,based on the concept of "Intermediate Domain" in the symbiosis theory,using the method of case analysis,the design techniques commonly used in traditional residential renovation was categorized from four aspects: functional replacement,optimization of existing functions,symbiosis of new and old buildings,and optimization of outdoor living space.Further,combined with the traditional spatial form of seagrass house investigated,design methods suitable for the regeneration of seagrass house living space in different situations were proposed.In the last part of the article,the author introduces the silver medal works of the architectural design competition to verify the research results and explain the research conclusions.The cases referred in the research process are sorted out and attached to the end of the article to provide reference materials for scholars in various fields to study the protection and renovation of seaweed houses in the future.
