Abstract
The sunlight in summer is generally strong in hot summer zone, so the long-lasting shadow is conducive to people’s outdoor activities for a long time. Creating a space with “Constant-holistic Shadow” has become an important way to improve the outdoor thermal comfort. However, with special shadowing condition featuring in a varied topography with big vertical height, the sunshine shadowing formation in mountainous urban area is significantly different from that of plain area. Therefore, it is necessary to take the special shadowing conditions into consideration in exploring the influence and relevance on the “Constant-holistic Shadow” construction. This paper analyzed the characteristics of outdoor spatial morphology and shadow forming elements in mountainous urban areas, revealed the correlation between the characteristics and “Constant-holistic Shadow” space, and expounded the main design strategies of “Constant-holistic Shadow” space in mountainous urban areas so as to provide ideas and strategic guidance for more effective construction of “Constant-holistic Shadow” space in mountainous urban areas.
