Research On External Space Of Ancient Water Towns In Northern Zhejiang Based On Embodied Cognition

With the rapid rise of science,technology and economy,digital and graphic and abstraction of the architectural space occupied our life,mingled with the rapid advance of urbanization process fast-food culture,which makes our space lack of culture and human nature,excessive emphasis on effect of retinal architecture,abandoned other sensory organs,in turn,has alienated the body,Ignoring our inner feelings leaves us with no place for our spirit,memories,and emotions.From top to bottom to form the modern space,mostly by the architect personal ideas are at the mercy of value form and function is necessary only to the physical and mental experience of building space and spiritual blank,guzhen town,with its relatively is a traditional,its bottom-up development pattern and its pursuit of level in the lower demand,namely for the purpose of better living,The space created has the characteristics of temperature,readability and habitability.However,influenced by the trend of modern development,the protection,renewal and reuse of contemporary ancient towns tend to be commercialized and stylized,thus presenting a dilemma like a thousand villages.In order to bring the architectural space back to the body and get rid of its predicament,the author draws on the knowledge points of ecological psychology and cognitive science,and analyzes the external space of the ancient water town in northern Zhejiang from the perspective of embodied cognition,in order to extract the design points that can make people relax,create a sense of belonging and embodied sense.This paper is divided into three parts: pulse,analysis and solution,the second chapter describes the geographical location,natural environment and historical and cultural background of the ancient water town in northern Zhejiang in the pulse stage,summarizes the plight that needs to be changed in its preservation and renewal,and examines the non-embodied causes from four aspects of material,natural landscape,streamline and function respectively.The third and fourth chapter,the parsing stage respectively to the body and its waterfront town space fastidious and divided into perception,cognition and action layer to parse,perception layer introduced Gibson’s theory of ecological consciousness and environmental ecological consciousness and the emotion tendency theory in psychology,cognitive layer introduced in cognitive science and cognitive theory,action layer function bearing theory is introduced and the exchanges and space theory,Based on this,the paper explores how the body senses,recognizes and acts on the outer space of the ancient water town.Then,the paper discusses the embodied factors one by one in the specific space of the ancient water town.The influencing factors of the perceptual layer include material,streamline,scale,smell,sound and nature;the orientation,central boundary,spatial structure and dynamic force of the body and space in the cognitive layer;and the action layer is the function of the interaction between space and body.Last chapter solution phase,by listening,asking and diagnose the etiology,and with good example for the specimen analysis to suit the remedy to the case,from rich spatial perception,spatial cognition,activate the space action of three levels,put forward some design method and activation,for the protection of the ancient town update feasibility Suggestions,new perspective with reference.
