Design And Renewal Of Historical And Cultural Districts Based On Collective Form Theory Applied Research

Historic and cultural districts witness the development and changes of cities,record the diversity of urban social life,and are an important part of the city’s cultural lineage and an important carrier of cultural inheritance.With the rapid development of urban construction and the country’s attention to cultural heritage,the planning and remodeling of historical and cultural neighborhoods has ushered in a boom,and governments around the world have taken a series of measures one after another,but some problems and contradictions have also emerged.For example,the original architectural form,street texture and landscape appearance of the neighborhood have been damaged to a certain extent,the connection between the neighborhood and the city as a whole is not strong,the utilization rate of public space is low,and the loss of humanistic features,etc.Faced with the huge building volume and complex spatial relationship in the historical and cultural district,this paper mainly uses the application of collective form theory,hoping to provide an effective design and renewal method for it.Collective form theory was formed mainly by Fumihiko Maki’s thinking on modernism and research on settlement space,and has been developed in practice since its introduction.It is intended to address the relationship between individual buildings and groups,and between buildings and cities,and is a way of thinking about urban design from the local to the whole,with the architectural group as the goal.In this paper,through theoretical and relevant case studies,the development of collective form theory and historical and cultural districts are systematically elaborated,and the points of convergence between the two are sorted out.Secondly,the focus and principles of collective form in the design and regeneration of historical and cultural districts are clarified,and four strategies are summarised: the shaping of spatial units,the connection between buildings,the interpretation of spatial subjects,and the integration of landscape elements,and the relevant case studies are interpreted and analysed based on the conclusions to deepen understanding.Finally,the application of cluster form in the design and regeneration of historical and cultural districts is practiced,taking the Baoding Governor’s Office-West Street historical and cultural district as an example,to further verify the above conclusions.To sum up,the design and renewal of the historical and cultural district under the theory of collective form is no longer to carry out simple restoration and rehabilitation,but to form a certain order among individuals,to establish connections with the city in the cluster,to make the district adapt to the dynamic changes of the city,to focus on the historical heritage while not being forgotten by the modern and future life,it truly integrates into the city,participates in the growth of the city,continues people’s life,enriches the It truly integrates into the city,participates in the growth of the city,continues people’s life,enriches the cultural connotation of the city,and becomes a beautiful memory that generations of people cannot part with.
