Abstract

Based on the concept of sustainable protection and regeneration, this thesis retrospected and analysed the history and culture, public space and courtyard space of Miaohou village in Hancheng to explore the historical prototype. And combined with Ecotect Analysis software to simulate microclimate environment, the public spaces was reasonable updated and predicted from both qualitative and quantitative aspects to explore the rationalized strategy of rural renaissance. It will provide reference for the development of related construction practice and theory in the future.

Highlights

  • The Miaohou village is located in northeast coast of the mid-Ju river in the South Gate of Han ancient city, adjacent to Han ancient city

  • The investigation and analysis of the historical evolution of village public space show that in the peak period of Ming and Qing Dynasty, the community public space once had a variety of space such as ancestral temple, market, various sacrificial temples, theatrical stage, guard towers and so on

  • About functional configuration of the public space, more consideration should be given to the continuation of the original spiritual attributes and varied spatial activities

Hancheng is a historic and cultural city in China with numerous traditional villages and the outstanding features of regional culture. The Miaohou village is located in northeast coast of the mid-Ju river in the South Gate of Han ancient city, adjacent to Han ancient city.

In the practice of settlement renewal, it is necessary to pay attention to public space, overall texture and residential buildings [7] 。 In order to grasp the characteristics and existing problems of the overall public space, courtyard in Miaohou village intuitively and accurately, field research is an extremely important means of preliminary research. Based on the public space and courtyard, through field visit, questionnaire and mathematical statistics, the early stage comprehensively evaluated the historical evolution, functional types and current space feelings of the public activity space, surveyed and analyzed the residential courtyard
