Against the background of building "beautiful Zhejiang and good life", Ningbo City has to optimize the livable environment continuously, integrate natural, humanistic, green, characteristic and comfortable elements into the beautiful countryside construction, thus it is urgent to explore the cultural characteristics and functions of architectural environment in traditional villages. Cultural characteristics and functions of architectural environment in traditional villages of Ningbo should be more systematic, legalized, and scientific. This paper reviewed concepts and cultural connotations of traditional villages, and integrated cultural characteristics and functions of regional architectural environment in traditional villages of Ningbo, and provided references for theoretic researches on the formation of characteristic regional architectural cultures in traditional villages of Ningbo.展开更多

The results showed that there were many unique elements in the traditional Tibetan architecture as the carrier of traditional regional culture, including the Tibetan architectural and decorative components, Tibetan paintings and symbols, and Tibetan architectural colors. By extracting these traditional Tibetan architectural elements and age-old and unique regional culture, and integrating them with modern landscape planning and design, and displaying them in modern, human and diverse ways, traditional Tibetan architecture elements and culture could be better inherited and developed.展开更多

Faith as a way of life and social memory exercises a decisive influence on the shape of the construction environment. Yet this relationship is rarely analyzed. On a general level, one reason for this deficiency is probably due to the spread of the ideology of modernity. Given that modernity is implicitly secular, it does not prompt to understand faith in its relationship with other phenomena. It is the same for architecture. We believe on the contrary that the construction environment and the cultural aspect must interact and complement each other. When this is not true or only partially true, this results in user dissatisfaction, and refusal to engage and participate in the process of changing that environment. Many authors have tried to show explicitly the influence of Islamic thought on the social organization and the housing as well as the link between housing and identity, but its implications have not always been understood and transmitted concretely. One thing is certain: the ideological -symbolic-metaphoric sphere is the essence of architecture, as are the program requirements: functionality, distributivity, health of the environment and technology of construction. In this contribution we will address the thorny issue of cultural and religious influences on the choice of the morphology of the habitat and its components, and we will try to highlight the interaction between architecture, faith and culture through analysis of a Mediterranean type "House with Patio" as a particular architectural style, which has been enriched through the centuries by different cultures. Although the course of this typology in each of these cultures and at different times has not been the same, this has only strengthened the mission and spirit of the "Patio" until the appropriation of this model by the Arab-Muslim peoples who were able to incorporate the Islamic perception in this space.展开更多

In the past 2 000 years, Qinhuangdao had accumulated rich cultural connotation. As cultural carrier, landscape architecture of Qinhuangdao displayed distinct cultural characteristics. Landscape culture of Qinhuangdao not only manifested in traditional culture and coastal culture, but also involved sports and Olympic culture, ecological culture and high-tech culture. So it was multi-culture with prominent features. In terms of protection and exploration of landscape culture of Qinhuangdao, it should reflect more sports spirit while the main feature of traditional culture and coastal culture was highlighted, so as to enhance the construction of ecological garden in Qinhuangdao and further apply modern technologies in landscape architecture.展开更多

In that sense, the primary objective of this study is to examine the Core Concepts and Forms of traditional architecture, as well as their cultural connotations, in three regions of Saudi Arabia: the central, eastern, and western regions. Non-participant observation, ethnographic, and descriptive approaches were used in the study, which was based on a multi-dimensional comparative observational model. It was determined that the traditional Saudi built environment relied on forty Core Concepts and Forms that were divided into four categories: constant, semi-constant, semi-flexible, and flexible core forms to regulate the production process and maintain its continuity over centuries.展开更多

文摘Landscape culture was the quintessence of landscape art. In the past 2 000 years, Qinhuangdao had accumulated rich cultural connotation. As cultural carrier, landscape architecture of Qinhuangdao displayed distinct cultural characteristics. Landscape culture of Qinhuangdao not only manifested in traditional culture and coastal culture, but also involved sports and Olympic culture, ecological culture and high-tech culture.

In terms of protection and exploration of landscape culture of Qinhuangdao, it should reflect more sports spirit while the main feature of traditional culture and coastal culture was highlighted, so as to enhance the construction of ecological garden in Qinhuangdao and further apply modern technologies in landscape architecture.
