Research on Subjective-Cultural Ecological Design System of Vernacular Architecture

Abstract

With the impact of urbanization and other factors, the vernacular architectural heritage faces the problem of how to carry on and innovate for sustainable development with originality and authenticity in the process of redesigning and planning. Therefore, this study uses the visualization method of quantitative analysis to analyze the research trends and hot spots of domestic vernacular architecture and explore new ways of coexistence between vernacular architecture, subject perception and cultural ecology. The critical challenge of this study is to analyze the theoretical coupling action rule between the socio-cultural structure of emotions and the cultural ecosystem of vernacular architecture, drawing on the concept of cultural ecology and the reasoning method of transmission relations in logical deduction. The main contribution of this study is to propose the concept of a subjective-cultural ecological design system for the sustainable development of vernacular architecture, to establish a three-dimensional structural analysis design paradigm and an evaluation analysis matrix, and to make vernacular architecture present the self-renewal ability of continuous exchange and revision in the dynamic cycle of this design system. This study aims to provide a standardized and flexible design research framework for contemporary vernacular architecture’s innovation and sustainable development.

Enhancing the Harmonious Aesthetics of Architectural Façades: A VETAR Approach in Mengzhong Fort Village’s Stone Masonry

“…While expedient, these methods can compromise the traditional architectural style, as shown in Figure 15b. They may enhance the building's longevity but often fail to maintain its traditional appearance [45].…”

Hausa vernacular architectural style of early Mosque buildings: A case stuy of Yandoka Street Moswue, JOS

“…It is also be construed as spontaneous. In another token, it can be inferred that, vernacular buildings are those which are part of a group of constructions that were common in a specific region and time; while vernacular architecture is a form of cultural heritage; a form of architecture built without professional guidance or academic tradition; and as such, are structures typically built to meet the users' local/indigenous, individual needs, which have been corroborated by Zhang, Wang, and Zhang (2022) and Momcilovic-Petronijevic, Vasić, and Cvetković (2022) that, architectural works are constrained by the materials available in a given region and reflect local traditions and cultural needs.…”

Hani Mushroom House Building Adaptability

“…Some scholars believe that the mushroom house is an ecological building type, developed after the Hani people moved to the Ailao Mountains area of Yunnan Province and improved the Pingdiao (Pingdiao) building type, adapting it for the hot and rainy subtropical mountainous monsoon climate [32]. Wang [33] and Zhang et al [34] mentioned mushroom houses in their study on Chinese folk houses and vernacular architecture. Tang et al [35] studied the evolution of mushroom houses after the development of tourism.…”
