Under the influence of Huizhou Merchant Culture, Research on Spatial Morphology of Huizhou Ancient Village Landscape Based on Spatial Intelligence Analysis

Abstract

The modularity of the spatial design vocabulary in new villages is a fairly common phenomenon in village landscape design, and it is one of the primary sources of problems like the deterioration of local features and the spatial incompatibility with spatial behaviour. The elements between homes in old villages are a product of the long-term adaptive growth of the villagers' daily life and village environment under mutual impact, and the study of the modularity of the elements between houses can aid in enhancing the vocabulary of the new village spatial design. Using the ancient villages in Huizhou as an example, the research methodology of the inter-house element pattern of ancient villages is examined from three viewpoints, namely, classification, illustration, and association with spatial behaviours of inter-house components. The Huizhou Maotian New Village's landscape design incorporates the inter-house element model, and the optimisation approach for village landscape design based on the inter-house element model of prehistoric communities is also covered. This is beneficial for developing and promoting the regional vocabulary of spatial design and avoiding over-reliance on the city's existing plazas, lawns, and tree pools, which could lead to indiscriminate design.
