Research on the Plight of Place-Identity and Reconstructed Strategy

Abstract:

The construction of numerous elements make modern city into a meaningless abstract space. Excess material construction and similar spatial pattern increasingly blur residents ' sense of direction and ascription. People cannot based on personal experience to locate itself, and also cannot develop emotional reliance to the space. Extreme mode of operation has not only replaced the traces of history, but also led to the loss of local characteristic. In the context of this reality, the concept of local design show us a new method.It focuses on the behavior of specific population and activity. It also emphasizes the principle to create cultural connotation of the design. The place who based on local element and method of construction is not only establish emotional dependence and recognition to people, but also can shape and strengthen the dominant position for the local residents at the same time.
