What if traditional ancient buildings become dangerous buildings?

There are several forms of protection. First, style protection, combining with the characteristics of traditional architecture in western Sichuan, from the fields of historical tradition, urban texture, neighborhood communication, courtyard space, etc., to explore the connotation of local traditional culture, find the historical prototype of spatial form, repair the damaged street texture, strengthen local characteristics and historical features, and carry out its planning, design and creation.

Second, innovation protection. On the premise of combining historical archetypes, we should boldly innovate, explore new forms of historical and cultural expression, the regeneration of materialized environment and the interaction of historical and cultural inheritance, and inject new vitality into historical and cultural connotations through new material forms. Here, it is the architecture that innovates and the context that protects.

Take Shanghai New World Block as an example. This block is a typical traditional alley-style block with strong local characteristics. There are also many problems in the block, such as aging structure and worn-out style. Drawing lessons from foreign experience, the design of its block adopts the methods of retaining the architectural surface, transforming the internal structure and updating the infrastructure, and introduces new urban functions, which makes the carefully treated old buildings glow again and realizes the unity of innovation and protection.

Natural aging, disrepair, termites, fire hazards, disorderly construction, renovation and so on all threaten the old buildings:

In recent years, due to the crowded passages in the areas where some old buildings are located, the investment in fire-fighting infrastructure is seriously insufficient, and fires in old houses occur frequently. These old houses are all made of wood, and most of them are inhabited, so the fire danger is also a big threat to the old buildings.
