Abstract:Vernacular architecture in the Chinese context is often misunderstood as a binary? notion as against the “urban,” the “modern,”or the“western.”The case study discusses on the? general discrepancy between the “inside”and“outside”of vernacular architecture, or between? its new program and assigned traditional fa?ade.It argues that in contemporary China,a? collaged“vernacular?architecture”is inevitable,making the static“style”out of question.The? contemporary vernacular architecture will need“build the site,”reconfiguring the general? context of space-making from scratch.By systematically creating new local characteristics,? architecture does not adapt itself to landscape settings but invent a landscape of its own.

Abstract:Regionalism,as the basic attribute of rural settlements,convey the more pertinent? connotation in the context of the subject.This paper analyses the meaning of subjectivity by? introducing the concept of third space and conflicts of values.Moreover,it proposes a series? of countermeasures of regional expression in view of the inherent features of rural settlements? such as authenticity and growth.

Abstract:This paper attempts to re-evaluate the feature-oriented research paradigm of? vernacular architecture, which is regarded as the architectural discourse with the“Chinese? identity”created by Chinese cultural crisis of western invasion from 19 century.When Chinese? modern cultural transformation had already completed recently,however,the feature-oriented? paradigm has also lost its rationality along with its professional attention.Thus,vernacular? architecture research paradigm should be transformed from feature oriented to problem? oriented,attach importance to the true reality and issues in rural areas,pay more attention to? the ordinary,extensive,and nondescript folk houses,and focus on the basic mechanism and? law of morphological evolution of the vernacular architecture.Finally,it’s expected that it will? provide references for future studies.

Abstract:This paper employs the analytical tools of composite system composed of social? structure,habits and practice,and illustrates that the key to reserving,regenerating the? traditional vernacular system is to last and rebirth the materialized space control system? under the projection of the original traditional vernacular social structure.On that basis,this? paper develops the repetitive isomorphism mechanism withn local texture according to the? consanguineous and geographical characteristics of traditional vernacular space control system,? and applies it to the practices.
