What is Nanyang Architectural Style 20

Nanyang architecture in China refers to arcades.

In the Chinese area, the arcade has an architectural design with strong South China characteristics and is used for shophouse construction. At present, the arcades in the Chinese area are generally used underground (the first floor) for business, and the second floor and above are used for residents. The arcade can not only protect from rain and sun, but also facilitate the display of windows and attract business.

According to the analysis of building collapses after several major collapses in Taiwan, arcades may have a serious negative impact on the seismic resistance of buildings, and can be avoided if the structure is properly designed.

In addition to the "Nanyang architectural style", in order to adapt to the tropical climate after the colonial invasion, the Western architectural culture and the local culture of Southeast Asia blended with each other, resulting in a new eclectic architectural style. The returning "Nanyang guest" also embellished his hometown of Hainan as "a place where the European wind blows vigorously and Western customs infect".

Nanyang is the name of Southeast Asia in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is a concept centered on China. Including the Malay Archipelago, the Philippine Islands, the Indonesian Archipelago, as well as the coastal areas of the Indochina Peninsula and the Malay Peninsula. During the Qing Dynasty, it also referred to the coastal areas south of Jiangsu as Nanyang (the coastal areas north of Jiangsu were called Beiyang).

The economic development of the Nanyang countries has attracted overseas Chinese from Hainan, and the tradition of Hainan people attaching importance to ethics and family law has led to a serious imbalance in the sex ratio of the overseas population, thus creating a unique two-way migration of Hainan people to Nanyang.

The low-rise building style on both sides of Sunxi Pedestrian Street is a mixture of European-style colonial style buildings in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and Lingnan arcade buildings"Nanyang-style architecture", is a Eurasian mixture"Nanyang"An important expression of culture.

Arcade buildings are often several or more than ten buildings adjacently adjacent, forming a jagged and continuous interface effect, and the appearance is unified.

The buildings are mainly 2-3 floors, a small number of 4 floors, the average height from the ground to the parapet is about 16 meters, the street width is 12 meters, and the average degree of the building is a spatial ratio of 3:4.

The humid climate of Jiangnan makes ventilation particularly important, so houses in Jiangnan often leave a gap of no more than 1 meter between the building and the wall to draw up the air and light, which is quite effective. Jiangnan dwellings, large residences generally pass through the sedan hall, living room, main room to the inner room or back room from the gate, and there are flower halls, study rooms, bedrooms and small gardens and theaters on both sides. A large dwelling can have two or three parallel axes.

However, regardless of the size of the building, the Jiangnan dwellings reflect a clear difference from the northern dwellings, that is, the carvings and decorations are extremely numerous, but there are few color paintings, the walls are made of white tiles and gray gray, and the wood is brown-black or brown-red. It is very light compared to the brilliant colors of the north.

The craftsmen of Jiangnan are ingenious, using the changeable terrain to make the flowing water ripple between the houses.

The buildings in the south are greatly affected by the topography, and are built with the change of terrain, with flexible layout, clear layers, and the architectural style is relatively "delicate".
