论商业业态与仿古建筑

Commercial Property and Imitated Classical Architecture

前门商业街始建于明末清初,至今已有三百多年,从廊坊到京都第一商业街,不少商业建筑随业态的改变而改变,使得前门大街的古都风貌日益消衰.在重新恢复这条街的过程中,古都风貌和现代商业业态之间出现许多矛盾.笔者试图在仿古建筑如何与现代商业业态相适应的问题上,从建筑设计角度对其进行理论上的探讨.

Qianmen Commercial Street was first established at the end of Ming Dynasty and in the early of Qing Dynasty. In the past three hundred years, Qianmen witnessed the transformation of Lang Fang, small vendors＇ booths outside imperial city, to the first and the most prosperous commercial street in Beijing. With the flying times, especially the changes of commercial properties, the previous commercial street has unfortunately lost its historical capital style and taste. Consequently, Qianmen, a traditional and commercial center with typical Beijing style, has been vanished from memories of many people. Now there are conflicts in the usage, function and style in the reconstruction of the traditional historical street and the re-juvenilization of its business. The author is making an effort to research in architectural theory about how the imitated classical architecture to fit modern commerce, reconstructing and explore a modern Qianmen Commercial Street with historical and typical Beijing style.
