Study on the spatial relationships of traditional regional dwellings in Huizhou district
摘要
In architectural heritage protection and revitalisation, traditional regional dwellings face challenges such as poor spatial connectivity and disconnection from modern living needs, hindering their living heritage and adaptive development. This investigation of traditional regional dwellings in Huizhou, China, employs spatial syntax theory and topological modelling to systematically establish a three-phase analytical framework encompassing spatial map translation, topological value domain analysis, and typological reconstruction. The findings are as follows: (1) The spatial topological relationship is characterised by three overall configurations, such as the ‘Multi-layer and Multi-ring Type’, and eight local configurations, such as the ‘Basic Ring Type’. (2) The spaces are classified into four categories on the basis of the relative asymmetry value (ηRA), such as the Patio Connection Type. (3) The Patio Connection Type topology guides new regional dwelling designs. These results offer a technical path for digital analysis and heritage renewal, combining algorithmic and cultural insights and aiding promotion and generalisation.
