Environmental Design of Lingnan Residential Area and New Regional Culture

Environmental Design of Lingnan Residential Area and New Regional Culture

The research on the external environment design of Lingnan residential area must be placed in the background of social environment, regional cultural system and its operation, and pay attention to the unity of opposites between its regionality and the times, that is, it is created under the background of Lingnan traditional regional culture and combined with new information of the times. Only by designing the external environment of the residential area rooted in the soil of Lingnan regional culture and constantly tapping the local spirit can we dynamically continue the design culture of the external environment of Lingnan residential area in the regional renewal and create a better living environment.

First, the regional cultural issues of the external environment design of Lingnan residential area

The foundation of regional culture is the unique cultural characteristics developed by various nationalities and regions in a relatively closed state under specific historical conditions. The materialization of regional culture in buildings and cities is the external expression of regional cultural individuality.

As the rapid economic development in Lingnan area of China, the establishment of regionality in the modern sense is no longer simply from the accumulation of traditional culture, and external factors have increasingly affected its development. Politics, economy, society and foreign culture will all promote new changes in regionality, and the evolution process of regionality will accelerate with the increase of information dissemination speed. Today, with the globalization of the world economy, people's basic necessities have approached internationalization in all directions. At the same time, the increasing interaction of spatial environment also makes the traditional regional characteristics originally associated with a specific region break away from the geographical and material restrictions, showing a global flow trend. Regionality itself restores the characteristics of cultural flow and blending, resulting in the global collage of different regional cultures. However, some disadvantages brought by this have not been effectively curbed, which are reflected in the superficial imitation of European style, the neglect of traditional culture and local characteristics, the abandonment of local materials and technologies, and the indifference to the overall environment of settlements.

In view of this, as one of the designers of human settlements, it is necessary for environmental art designers to advocate a dialectical attitude towards globalization and localization, seeing both the contradictory side of globalization and regionalism and their unique characteristics. Only by examining the specific regional characteristics from the social and cultural background of regional formation and establishing a new connection between the world and the region can it be more conducive to the formation and development of contemporary regionalism.

It can be predicted that a certain mainstream culture and various regional cultures will coexist in the world for a long time. In the design of residential space environment, the performance of mainstream design culture is not static. The collision and blending of various design cultures is the driving force to realize the replacement of mainstream design culture and the more valuable existence of regional culture. Based on this understanding of regional culture, the development, renewal and dissemination of Lingnan regional culture are very important for the survival of specific regional culture or the health of world cultural ecology.

At present, the traditional slogan of regional culture in environmental art design is very loud, but it has not been established in essence. Instead, it shows the taste of a weak culture. Its own characteristics, under the influence of various social factors, especially strong culture, are often easily ignored and lose cultural identity. On the other hand, in the design, the traditional regional culture is too symbolic, modular and superficial, and its spiritual connotation has not been properly excavated and deeply expressed. Such traditional regional culture is even lost and stale in environmental design.

New regionalism is relative to traditional regionalism. New regionalism is a kind of backwash to the globalization trend. It focuses on a specific region and culture, pays attention to daily life and familiar life tracks, extracts more essential things from culture, and devotes itself to expressing local culture with advanced concepts and technologies, so as to keep a close and continuous relationship between architecture and its local society.

Second, the characteristics of traditional regional environment and new regionalism in Lingnan area.

1. The * * characteristics of Lingnan traditional regional environment. The traditional regional environment system is rooted in similar natural environment and historical background, and the traditional regional environment in Lingnan area has the following characteristics:

(1), the buildings in the same area have the similarity of individual form and the unity of the overall environment. Lingnan is located in the subtropical zone with a hot climate and a long rainy season. Due to the limitation of natural and social conditions in Lingnan traditional society, Lingnan residential buildings require high ventilation and heat insulation. The interior of the building pays attention to the organization through flow, forming a favorable microclimate, and the architectural colors are mostly bright and elegant. Individual architects often choose the same shapes, materials, colors and artistic techniques, thus maintaining the harmonious relationship between Lingnan architecture and the environment. In the traditional agricultural practice, the trajectory of people's production and life changes according to the laws of nature, and the social productive forces as a whole cannot surpass the limitations of natural forces, thus determining the awe and respect for nature in the traditional view of regional environment.

(2) People in the same area generally hold similar environmental views, that is, special aesthetic view, price view, evaluation standard, psychological orientation, etc. This is a kind of psychological understanding that people have reached in the long-term development of traditional regional living environment. Their differences in ideology, ethics, aesthetic concepts, folk customs and other aspects have accumulated their own traditional culture for thousands of years, and have a unique value orientation in this region, which has a subtle influence on their real life.

(3) The construction organization, construction procedure, technology and craft level of human settlements in the same area are consistent. Traditional ancient craftsmen have passed on architectural knowledge and architectural skills from generation to generation, which is the main reason for the regionalization of architectural construction and technology. Concept, technology and art restrict the creation of new living environment, and it is difficult to get rid of the shackles of the traditional regional environment construction model and achieve a qualitative leap.

2. The characteristics of new regionalism regionalism are not only the concepts of orientation and region, but also the natural environmental conditions such as climate, soil, vegetation and resources, as well as the humanistic spirit formed in the long-term historical development. These factors have a profound impact on human life style and living environment. Compared with traditional regionalism, the new regional environmental system should have the ability of self-organization, self-adaptation and self-repair.

(1), the new regional environmental system is open, that is, the new regional environmental system has the function of continuously exchanging materials, energy and information with the external environment, and its value and significance are reflected in the interaction between the system and the external environment.

(2) The new regional environmental system should be compatible. In today's diversified world, globalization and regionalization, traditional culture and modern civilization, science and technology and traditional handicrafts are phenomena that cannot be ignored. This requires that the new regional environmental system can contain these contradictory factors and form a whole.

(3) The new regional environmental system is diversified. That is, the new regional culture is not narrow xenophobia, but actively combines with foreign culture on the basis of maintaining its own characteristics. From the perspective of sustainable development, the human settlement environment itself is an open system, and a diversified environmental system is more vital and energetic than a single environmental system.

New regionalism is a reflection on the trend of globalization. Integrating local culture into environmental art design, serving the sense of region and paying attention to life trajectory initially triggered our thinking on local cultural design. We are discussing new regionalism, and at the same time we are discussing how to extract traditional elements and ideas through "abstract" methods and integrate them into our modern space environment.

Third, the new regionality of environmental art design in Lingnan residential area In the environmental design of Lingnan residential area, the elements of new regional culture include:

Material culture and spiritual culture are inseparable, and spiritual connotation is embodied by material elements, which is more unique through spiritual connotation. Different design styles formed in different regions are closely related. Neo-regionalism mainly embodies the local ethnic characteristics formed by the local humanistic geographical environment and traditional culture, as well as the aesthetic orientation of local people. Different design styles must have distinct regional colors.

Specifically, the new regionality of Lingnan human settlement environment is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. Spiritual Characteristics of New Regional Culture in Lingnan Residential Environment Design

(1), the new regional culture in Lingnan residential environment design has the characteristics of respecting and continuing the regional historical context. Residential area is the destination of mankind. Integrating the living environment into the regional tradition can enhance the sense of belonging and strong local characteristics. Since ancient times, the human settlement environment, as a part of human life, has local characteristics, reflects a spiritual culture and is loved by local people. As far as Lingnan area is concerned, the far-Confucian culture is the most incisive interpretation of Lingnan culture, that is, secular culture is the mainstream of Lingnan culture, which is manifested in the practicality of space and the integrated design of gardens and houses in Lingnan garden environment. Located in Lingnan area, Guangfu residence is different from Chaoshan, and Hakka residence is different from western Guangdong, with bright spots in layout, modeling and furniture display.

Significant differences, which are influenced by their cultural background, lifestyle, local hobbies and other reasons. Drawing lessons from regional traditions and absorbing its essence is conducive to improving our cultural taste in the artistic design of living environment.

(2) The new regional culture in the environmental design of Lingnan residential area is eclectic. It not only absorbed the essence of traditional gardens in China, but also adopted the techniques of western gardens. Modern Lingnan culture is not only rich in regional color, but also pragmatic, paying attention to realistic sensory enjoyment and physical and mental entertainment, highlighting its characteristics of novelty, reality, liveliness, change, vigor, broadness and openness.

(3) The new regional culture in the environmental design of Lingnan residential area has the aesthetic pursuit of "harmony but difference". The similarity, integration and complementarity of the environmental culture of heterogeneous buildings not only have the identifiability of individual buildings, but also have the harmony and unity of environmental groups. The new regional culture in the environmental design of Lingnan residential area embodies the value orientation of pragmatism, pioneering and innovation, the cultural psychology of openness and tolerance, and the aesthetic ideal of being in harmony with the environment and fresh and natural.

2. The material composition of the new regional culture in the environmental design of Lingnan residential area includes planning layout design, architectural design, greening design, sketch design, facility design and many other elements, each of which reflects the regional cultural characteristics to a greater or lesser extent.

(1), Planning layout and architectural design of new regional culture in Lingnan residential environment design On the basis of traditional design, the planning layout and architectural design of Lingnan residential environment should pay more attention to the multi-function, ambiguity, pluralism, multi-dimension and compatibility of space and time. With the help of simulation technology, simulate the scene, quantify the local natural conditions, and truly make full use of strengths and avoid weaknesses.

In the present living environment, high-rise residential buildings have replaced the former quadrangles. In the design, the first floor is overhead or used as public land as much as possible, which not only reduces the noise, humidity and safety problems of the first floor residence, but also connects the adjacent green spaces on both sides, strengthens the ecological continuity of the living environment, organically combines green soft scenes with building hard scenes, improves the environment of the overhead floor, and provides a rain-free and ventilated place for residents' outdoor activities.

(2) In the environmental design of Lingnan residential area, the new regional culture emphasizes the principle of planting native plants and biodiversity. Lingnan area is less affected by Quaternary continental glaciers and is rich in light, heat and water conditions, so there are abundant evergreen forests composed of tropical and subtropical flora, which is an important symbol of Lingnan regional landscape and plays an important role in improving urban climate and maintaining water balance. On the other hand, many fruits, flowers and crops have been introduced from overseas since ancient times, such as pineapple, annona, papaya, grapefruit, tomato and jasmine. After long-term domestication and cultivation, these varieties have become important cultivated crops with Lingnan characteristics. Therefore, the environmental greening in Lingnan residential area is very plastic.

(3) The embodiment of waterscape culture in the environmental design of Lingnan residential area. Lingnan's regional environment is dominated by water, which is rich in water resources, while Lingnan people attach great importance to geomantic omen, and houses often live with their backs to the water. Since ancient times, there have been many modes of water control in Lingnan human settlements: pool water, waterfall, spring water, lake view, inlet and so on. The beauty of water lies in management. In Talking about Gardens, Mr. Zhou, a gardener, said: "The water bends because of the shore, and the water is separated by the dike", "The water level is the key to the beauty of a big garden" and "the water used in gardens is mainly static", which fully shows that the way of managing water in gardens is very important. The water is vast and has the feeling of Wang Yang; When water is scattered, it is Austria, and its meaning is endless.

(4) In the environmental design of Lingnan residential area, it is a direct and effective method to take local materials and adjust measures to local conditions. There are many characteristic materials in Lingnan area, but today, with the increasingly obvious energy crisis in modern society, designers should not only use local materials, but also use them creatively, which is also an important feature of the concept of sustainable development of new regional culture. Through reasonable and innovative design, we can achieve a win-win situation of economy and culture.

(5) The new regional culture pursues the harmony of architecture, gardens, sketches and facilities in the environmental design of Lingnan residential area. The environmental design of Lingnan residential area should always pay attention to the coordination and perfect integration of these elements, deepen and improve the planning and architectural design, expand the order of the place, skillfully borrow the unique concept and spirit of nature, integrate with nature, enrich the place, excavate and endow the specific environment of a specific residential area, and pursue the maximization of natural, social and economic benefits, so as to show new regional cultural characteristics and meet the needs of modern life.

Four. Conclusion The new regional culture is dynamic and developing, and it is gradually accumulated through constant innovation and absorption.

Regional culture is not a fixed pattern, nor is it just a "cultural heritage". For the design of human settlements in Lingnan area, only by creatively developing regional culture can we maintain its national charm.

The new regional culture is not blindly nostalgic and retro. With the support of the continuous development of modern science and technology, combined with the future development trend of world civilization, we should attach importance to absorbing the excellent traditions of regional environmental culture, strive to find the combination of traditional culture and modern lifestyle, constantly explore the combination of traditional aesthetic consciousness and modern aesthetic consciousness, analyze the regional characteristics of Lingnan area more reasonably, foster strengths and avoid weaknesses, and summarize more scientific and more suitable methods for the construction of human settlements.
