CHINESENESS IN WANG DA-HONG'S RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS

摘要

This paper discusses Wang Da-Hong's "Chineseness", that is, a central focus of his design, through five representative houses that he designed. There are five chapters in this paper. Chapter 1 introduces and provides the scope of this paper, while chapters 2 through 4 examine and discuss in turn five of Wang's projects, consisting of the Atrium House, Wang's house, Ro's house, the Hong-Lu apartments and the Hong-Ying apartments. In the final chapter, authors discuss the results of their analysis and conclude with Wang's approach to designing Chinese space. Through this examination of Wang's representative works it may be said that Wang started from a courthouse building type and took the traditional houses of Suzhou as a model to create the composition of Jin (進)as his first step to creating Chinese space. Later, he focuses on Ting(庁) and shifts his approach to Jian(間).However, no matter Jin or Jian, Wang's housing design shows his consideration of multi-spatial layering, which creates a depth of space. This is Wang's original viewpoint for representing his idea of Chineseness. Wang Da-Hong; Chineseness; Housing design; Suzhou house; Plan
