Abstract:Mountain cities, as the most important carrier of human settlements, are widely distributed in China. As a kind of special city type, mountain cities have signifi cant strengths in natural resources, ecological environment, and multi-nationality culture; there are still existing problems such as the fragility of ecosystem, high frequency of natural disasters, and increasing difficulty of construction and development. Urban planning and construction in mountain cities should progress according to local conditions, and attach great importance to mountain characteristics rather than simply imitate or directly apply the planning methods of plain cities. It also should take the eco-city as the main objective, and achieve ecologicalization. Meanwhile, it should develop culture, education, medical care, public services, telecommunications, technology, and other social undertakings in order to ensure the sustainability of mountain cities.

Abstract:The paper analyzes current situation, trend and existing problems of basic public services equalization. In the context of new urbanization, it presents the value and significance of study on the countermeasure frame of the basic public services equalization in urban fringe area. According to the model of policy process theory, the research contents and methods are established under the logic basis of identification of problems, countermeasure studies and optimization of application. And then, it designs the scientific research framework which integrates methods of boundary value, performance evaluation, linear regression and analysis model. Under the background of imbalance development of town and urban areas, the study on the basic public services equalization in urban fringe area can be used to solve the significant problems in the critical field of new urbanization problems.

Abstract:Based on a case study of Guangzhou Haizhu eco-city planning, this paper explores the methods of achieving the goals of low-carbon city planning both in master plan and regulatory plan, and proposes the concept of low-carbon city index system which is compatible with the traditional urban planning system. The compatible low-carbon city index system is hierarchically established in order to match the hierarchy of traditional urban planning system. Also, the compatible low-carbon city index system is practical in each process of urban planning, city management, project construction and operation and the approval authority of each low-carbon city index system is clearly defined. Finally, this paper concluded that the compatible low-carbon city index system is highly related to the traditional urban planning system and can be easily implemented.

Abstract:Transition of development zone is an important content of new urbanization in China. To improve the quality of the transition development, it should further clarify the transition path, pattern and relevant strategies. By reviewing the development of Suzhou development zone, this paper summarizes two kinds of patterns in development zone through case comparison. Basing the transition target on constructing comprehensive city, this paper points out a transition pattern about building three-phase interactive development model, including industry, human resident and ecology. Finally, the paper puts forward several specific optimization strategies during transition.

Abstract:Pedestrianization is at present a definition and topic attracting great attention, while the theory and practice it belongs to is diverse. This paper tries to clarify the process and characteristics of development of pedestrianization, and provide clearer references for development of pedestrianization and pedestrian environment in urban area. It mainly adopts the method of time-spatial (T-S) comparative analysis. In T-dimension, the process of development of pedestrianization in different period is checked. And in S-dimension, it chooses pedestrianization in German and US as samples to compare differences of performance and mechanism of pedestrianization in different areas. It’s found that development of pedestrianization has experienced two transformations in history, both taking place in characters of property and spatial, consisting of two binary relationship of exclusive-public and indoor-outdoor. Meanwhile, in comparison analysis, transformation in property is more important than in spatial. Pedestrianization, as a definition with long history, has new connotation and function in motorized period. Meantime, pedestrianization is a comprehensive definition covering aspects of economy, transportation and society, not simply a strategy for urban development.

Abstract:Dali is a national historical and cultural city, Yunnan tourist resort. Xiaguan district is the Dali tourism distribution service base, surrounded by hills, against the background of Erhai Lake, with a high quality external space environment. To shape the landscape of the city's image with the plateau is crucial. The city building height of Xiaguan district is one of the key factors to city style featuring. Based on research and analysis of current situation, this study firstly summarizes status basic characteristics of urban building height of Xiaguan district, secondly widely learns from the research on control method about urban building height, especially for rich natural landscape, heavy history and culture region, refines the "basic model plus correction model" for height control technology framework. Finally, by GIS technology and CAD overlay multi-factor cross sectional analysis techniques, the methodology is applied to build process of building height, for generating building height control guidance sheets and control zoning map to provide reference to the building height control for detailed planning.

Abstract:In order to explore the impact of western urban planning on the Chinese communities, three cases of Macau, Shanghai and Tsingtau are studied. It’s found that high-dense alley houses are common features in all these cities. Such neighborhood with lanes and alleys is recognized as a unique type of neighborhood in traditional residential architecture. The emergence of new types of alley houses indicates a double layer of urban structure with both Chinese and western cities in the process of transition from ‘the other’ to ‘the original’. It’s expected it will provide references for current large-scale urbanization.

Abstract:Modern historical view is one of the rising types in recent years. Related theory has laid a solid foundation for the understanding of west and even the whole world. It has been the exploration focus that how to effectively make use of those fundamental theory and concepts in the field of research and teaching of Western Architectural History. This paper conducts some reflections on the teaching and research in terms of combing knowledge clues, organization of teaching content in recent years.

Abstract:With great elegance and exquisite workmanship, a site of Stone Five Sacrificial Utensils located on the south bank of Weiminglake consists of the Weiming landscape. This paper introduced the existing studies which failed to figure out the carving time, original location and the tomb owner of the Stone Five Sacrificial Utensils, dated it by comparing it with other ones, found a possible range of the tomb owner by referring to the construction history of Yan Yuan and local tombs, inferred the official title of the tomb owner by analyzing the Ming and Qing dynasties' books and records, and finally consulted the most positive tomb owner. Based on the analysis, this paper dismissed the possibility of theStone Five Sacrificial Utensils belonging to Hang Ai or the imperial mausoleum and the possibility of it built in the Republic of China, conjectured that the most positive tomb owner was MiWanzhong in Ming dynasty whose tomb was in today’s Yan Yuan and the reason why the Stone Five Sacrificial Utensils were located on the south bank of Weiming Lake was obeying the Chinese element design concept of H.K.Murphy.

Abstract:Associated coupling theory is one of the classical theories in modern urban design, which highlights the "line" law relationship among each element in the city environment, and has been widely utilized in lots of aspects in urban planning, urban design and architectural design. It also provides new perspective and methods for cultural heritage conservation, by promoting the recognition and protection of new cultural heritage types (regional heritage, cultural routes e.g.), and also deepening the existing heritage types (historical memorial places, the historical and cultural cities, towns and villages, e.g.). Through exploring the relationship between associated coupling theory and cultural heritage conservation, combining with relevant cases, this article analyzes the general methods of cultural heritage conservation in views of this theory, and provides some references for Chinese cultural heritage conservation practices. Keywords: Associated Coupling Theory; Cultural Heritage Conservation; Interpretation;

Abstract:Despite of lots of similarities with ordinary industrial heritage, the remained constructions in the third-line construction movement have their own characteristic. Explorations on the reuse of military industrial buildings in the third-line construction movement should be based on the comprehension of situation of architectural heritage and the conservation of industrial heritage. Then the corresponding strategies can be developed by combining the reuse strategies of industrial buildings and the specific situation of third-line construction area.

Abstract:Emerged in 1910, the literature theory of form-structuralism is one of the important part of modern aesthetic theory. The formalists emphasized that the form factors of literature and art is independent of the content, and they have important aesthetic meaning. This kind of aesthetic theory not only promoted the modern art movement, but also affected the development of structuralism and semiotics aesthetic theory. At the same time, it also have profound infl uence on the generation and development process of modern architecture.

Abstract:After the establishment of highway passenger transfer hub in the urban planning of our country, people’s satisfaction and evaluation of it is questionable. Taking the Post Occupancy evaluation (POE) theory as the basis, this paper conducts in-depth research and analysis of Sigongli transfer hub in Chongqing, uses analytic hierarchy process(AHP) to establish a synthetic evaluation system, evaluates the satisfaction of station space from the perspective of qualitative and quantitative, finds out the problems of the hub, and finally provides references for the same type of future buildings.

Abstract:Based on the research and analysis of the base and other old communities, this article proposes that it does not lack activities and vigor in the public space of old community, instead it is faced with the gradually weakening and disappearing conventional activities AND public collaboration relations in community relations, and the traditions and customs become more formalistic and tend to be fast food. Meanwhile, due to a lack of uniform rational planning of initially construction of the old community, the problem existing in municipal facility is the common and serious one in most old communities. To solve these problems, this article proposes the design philosophy of folk resources sharing of old community and the reconstruction of public space.

Abstract:With the development of higher education in China and the increasing enrollment in the university, the hospitals in the old campus have been unable to meet the needs of teachers and students. Therefore, many hospitals are rebuilt or renovated. This paper attempts to analyze the problems existing in these renovations. It proposes some design ideas based on the concept of intensive and humanized design, and illustrates some solutions made in the renovation project of hospital in campus B of Chongqing University in order to achieve the expansion of medical function and optimization of streamline improvement of environment.

Abstract:Village relocation and planning is a very important part of building a new socialist countryside. With the implementation of village relocation and planning, the farming radius has changed, which exerts great infl uences on the ways of travelling. This paper takes Qijiang Wanxing Area as an example to explain how the change of farming radius influences the rural residential layout planning. It fi rstly estimates that its reasonable farming radius is 1000 meters. Then it optimizes present plan with the reasonable farming radius and then discusses the differences caused by such an optimization. It fi nally discusses the ways of enhancing the application of radius farming in rural residential layout planning.

Abstract:The evaluation system for the sustainable communities has very important significance, because it is a reference for construction of sustainable development community.
