Abstract

Planning and design methodology of residential areas in ancient time is a comprehensive transition of technology and aesthetics, where imperial palatial projects play an exemplary role. Through the process of the Age of Discovery, European culture infiltrated into China's architectures, especially the royal gardens and palaces in Qing Dynasty. Ideological trends of Renaissance architecture present a diverse phenomenon into Chinese palace design of Yuan Ming Yuan. The Old Summer Palace buildings were analyzed in terms of their components such as column, dome, sculpture and decoration, door and wall, the proportion of elements, etc. The results prove that the cultural phenomenon is a convergence of and technology and aesthetics between European and Chinese.

Abstract

The rapid urbanization of Chinese cities has been resulting to the degradation of urban residential environments. As a representative of green areas, residential open spaces play key roles to balance the needs for both conservation and development. Traditional ways to observe resident’s behavior mode only by calculating the absolute population count is not perfect. In order to achieve the goal of public benefits, this study attempts to develop traditional behavior approaches to establish an unconventional determinant factor to enable the examination of temporal regulation, spatial distribution and activity category of residents’ behavior through the Behavior Entropy Index (BEI). Through this study, the author hopes to provide recommendations to interrelate the local view into planning process. The data was collected in 6 different residential areas and 4 campuses in Hangzhou. In sum, the result obtained from the study aiming to not only satisfy residents’ desire of the improvement of open space but also bring to professional’s attention by examining the diversity of user’s behavior in the context of residential open space utilization and finding out physical factors which influence their satisfaction and behavior. The samples can be hopefully extended to reasonably represent the overall situation of Yangtze River Delta and provide a valuable reference for other regions of China.

Abstract

Cement stabilization method is one of the ground improvement techniques and has been also used for the purpose of utilization of dredged clay or construction muck. The long-term strength of cement soil is influenced by many factors such as cement content, water content, curing age and soil properties. In this study, a new formula without fitting parameters, which was based on the functional relationship without fitting parameters between the unconfined compressive strength and the curing age which was proposed by Yang et al., was proposed for predicting the unconfined compressive strength of cement treated soil during full age, The results show that the formula can properly predict the strength growth of cement treated soil by comparing with the experimental data that was cited from the literatures.

Abstract

The perception evaluation of soundscape in a wetland community is investigated based on spatial graphical representation and statistical theory. The data were analyzed by EXCEL and SPSS and they produced the zoning map of soundscape in a wetland park. XIXI Wetland,Hangzhou, China, was chosen as the case area. The perception evaluation of soundscape was conducted at ten aspects: elements, time, preference, integration, liveliness, boisterousness, pleasure, feature, nature and irritability. Meanwhile, the goal is to provide a favorite soundscape for tourists, and a visual map with graphic reference is drawn for soundscape design in the wetland community.
