Analysis on Derivative Mechanism of Liuzhou Urban Architecture, Qing~Minguo

Abstract:

This paper figures out that during Qing ~Minguo, defensive settlements including Hakka enclosed dwelling and castle-type building were taken as the fundamental units, which plays an important role in Liuzhou urban morphological evolution. Compared with the instances in the different histories, this paper illustrates the derivative processes wherein the defensive type of architecture was gradually geared to the local culture and constructed requirement. According to the comparisons of space patterns, this paper comprehensively analyzed the urban architecture features of Liuzhou. This paper further explores some historical phenomena, taking watchtower as the basic code of typological selection which gained afresh its cultural connotations in different historical periods accordingly. Lastly it generalizes two internal principles on the derivative mechanism of the urban architecure in this period.
