THE IMPACT OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE GREEN ARCHITECTURE ON MODERN HABITATIONA CASE STUDY OF THE HUIZHOU REGION, ANHUI PROVINCE

Abstract

China has 9.6 million square kilometres, with multiple regions, different climates, and various lifestyles, which naturally produced a variety of varying architectural forms. These architectures are more than 1,000 years old and contain a lot of wisdom, nevertheless, because of the changes in modern lifestyles, there are more and more traditional architectures being deserted, degeneration of architectural functions, and disconnection of traditional architectural culture.

This study explores the green wisdom and cultural connotation contained in Huizhou architecture through data collection and observation. Through case studies and professional design experiments, it will propose the feasibility of regenerating traditional architecture into modern habitation. The study also proposed improvements adapted to modern rural habitats to ensure the effective continuation of Huizhou architecture and culture.

In conclusion, traditional Chinese architecture is an organic product of the influence of the natural environment, social and humanistic environment, and other factors, which contain valuable green wisdom. However, with the collision of tradition and modernity, the lifestyle has changed, and traditional architecture contradicts modern habitation. Through interviews and experiments, it is found that the SHS model is the solution to the above problems. By analyzing the tangible and intangible Huizhou architecture, Huizhou architecture has been renovated from three layers of natural symbiosis, cultural heritage, and technological sustainability strengthening the development of Huizhou architecture that is compatible with modern habitation.
