Research On The "Openness" Of Traditional Dwellings In Jiangnan

This paper takes the "openness" of traditional dwellings in Jiangnan as the research object.Since the era of industrialization,the large-scale standardized construction of housing has led to the phenomenon that the living environment of residents is uniform.In this process,residents can not participate in the process of housing design and construction,and the housing is difficult to meet the diversified and personalized needs of residents.At the same time,these houses often have a long life and are difficult to adjust flexibly.As time goes on,there will be some contradictions between the houses and the needs of users.In this context,the concept of open architecture began to appear and has experienced many years of practice and development.Its core concept is to advocate the "openness" of architecture.Through a series of methods such as hierarchical division,it can realize the process of multi-agent participation in the process of architectural design and construction,so that the architecture has more long-term vitality.The development of open architecture has achieved a lot of positive results,but in today’s more developed economy and technology,our understanding of "openness" still needs to be in-depth.The history of architectural development is a process of continuous opening.During this period,with the changes of society,economy and culture,architecture is undergoing spontaneous evolution."Openness" should point to the openness in the level of concept and consciousness,but the development of open architecture theory is gradually moving towards a kind of technical closure.If a series of representations of openness are simply equated with "openness",it will break away from the discussion of the nature of openness.The traditional wooden houses in the south of the Yangtze River in China are typical representatives of a highly "open" residential building system.This study aims to explore the characteristics and incentives of its openness,excavate the concept of sustainable development contained in the design and construction mode of traditional houses in the south of the Yangtze River,and realize a deeper understanding of what is the "openness" of architecture I understand.Jiangnan residential buildings have strong flexibility in the process of site selection,design and construction.At the same time,they have strong adaptability to the external environmental restrictions and people’s living needs.In terms of the combination with the environment,Jiangnan dwellings can be built near the water,can be integrated with the slope,or can be combined with the neighborhoods and roadways,and adopt flexible and changeable methods to make use of the external space,so as to combine the building with the changeable environment as an organic whole;in terms of the internal space organization,Jiangnan dwellings integrate the space with the basic elements of "Hall","well","corridor" and "room",so as to make the living environment more comfortable In terms of construction and construction,Jiangnan dwellings adopt various kinds of building materials that can be obtained from local materials,rich means and flexible expansion of the construction system.At the same time,residents and builders cooperate to achieve the construction of residential buildings,so as to meet the needs of users as much as possible.As one of the main branches of Chinese traditional architecture,the traditional dwellings in Jiangnan area are also an important part of Chinese traditional culture.In addition to its high historical and cultural value,the highly open design and construction system of this traditional residential building system also has high research value under the background of the current society advocating the sustainable development of housing.Through the study of the basic characteristics of Jiangnan dwellings,it is not difficult to find that the ideas contained in Jiangnan dwellings coincide with the contents advocated by the open architecture theory.For example,Jiangnan traditional dwellings adopt the structural system of separating the envelope structure from the load-bearing structure,the internal space can be divided freely through the mobile partition interface,and the house users and construction designers cooperate in the process of design and construction,etc.these characteristics make Jiangnan traditional dwellings an extremely open residential building system.With the development of economy and technology,this kind of housing system has been replaced by the modern technology-based housing design and construction system,but its open characteristics still have high research value,and can provide some inspiration for today’s housing design.In the traditional social background of Jiangnan area,the traditional residence that residents participate in the construction and design can adjust and grow according to the passage of time,the constraints of environmental conditions and the changes of users’ needs,so as to provide a suitable living environment with a long life cycle for the whole family.The concept of sustainable development embodied in residential buildings is of great significance in economy and technology More developed today should be paid more attention to and developed.The understanding and inheritance of this concept is not only the enrichment of traditional residential research,but also the return of "openness" in the theoretical research of open architecture.
