The large volume of urban industrial zones in China is a key area for the optimization of urban stocks and these zones should be repositioned and re-developed. Nowadays, the renewal and transformation of China's existing urban industrial areas follow the development trends of two-dimensional balancing and diversified sharing. In the current study, these areas were divided into four basic models consistent with the purpose of renewal: industrial transformation and upgrading, the promotion of urban public space, sustainable ecological restoration, and functional transformation. Next, the corresponding relationship between renewal purpose and the subject of development for each model was further analyzed. Results revealed that the renewal and transformation tasks that focus on economic benefits are government- or market-led, or they adopt a public-private partnership. Those renewal and transformation tasks focusing on social and environmental benefits were found to correspond with development entities that are government-led, which enables the realization of renewal goals. The combined applications of the four models are discussed in this paper.

Industrial heritage protection includes material heritage as well as environment and intangible cultural heritage. A more comprehensive understanding of industrial heritage can be achieved, particularly where there is a focus on historic urban landscapes. This is conducive to the promotion of integrity protection. In the current study, an empirical analysis of the Yongjiangbei Port Area in Ningbo was performed from the perspective of the natural and built-up environment, infrastructure and spatial structure evolution, and the industrial heritage unit (including its industrial technology). This study revealed correlations between characteristics at all levels. Moreover, several suggestions for industrial heritage protection were proposed, including fostering improved understandings of industrial heritage under the framework of time and space, advocating overall protection based on a system of industrial heritage elements, and perfecting the planning management system that shapes the characteristics of industrial heritage.

The energy consumption for heating and cooling in an existing residential building was calculated using TRNSYS based on data from the typical meteorological years of nine cities located in severe cold, cold, hot-summer and cold-winter, and hot-summer and warm-winter zones. Results revealed that the linear relationship between the reduction rate of heating energy consumption in the residential building and the urban heat island (UHI) intensity in the same climate zone was strong, while the linear relationship between the increasing rate of energy consumption for cooling and UHI intensity was not obvious. In the hot-summer and warm-winter zone, energy consumption only occurred for cooling, and the increasing rate of the total energy consumption caused by the UHI was approximately 8.55%/0.5 ℃. In the hot-summer and cold-winter zone, a small difference existed between the increasing energy consumption for cooling and the decreasing energy consumption for heating caused by the UHI, and total energy consumption essentially remained constant. In the severe-cold and cold zones, energy consumption existed predominantly for heating, and the reduction rates of total energy consumption caused by the UHI were found to be 1.7%/0.5 ℃ and 2.9%/0.5 ℃, respectively.

This study aims to provide references for furture renovations of old dormitories. Currently, many old dormitories are still in use on university campuses. However, old dormitories fail to meet the usage demands of college students with respect to, for example, structural safety, fire safety, energy-saving measures, and indoor comfort. Additionally, these dormitories do not align with current trends dictating that building development should be environmentally-friendly. To improve the living conditions of old dormitories, a case study based on Room 43 of Tianjin University was conducted. Site investigation, investigation, detection and software simulation were applied to the design reconstruction. From an analysis of the existing problems, this paper proposes several measures regarding a design upgrade for the existing dormitory buildings from the perspective of green design and improvements to residential quality.

The reconstruction design of existing schools is considered a key area in school expansion and reuse, particularly against the current background of land intensification. In the current study, the case of the reconstruction of Yangjiang Applied Undergraduate College was examined. The reconstruction of Yangjiang was compared with other cases of campus reconstruction. Existing campuses continue to encounter various problems, such as low space utilization, maladaptation of original functions to modern-usage demands, divergence between new and old styles, a lack of environmental characteristics on campuses, and poor interaction between buildings and the surrounding environment. To address these problems, the paper proposes several strategies, such as an intensive spatial layout strategy to improve campus capacity and advance functional recombination, an intelligent campus construction strategy to meet modern teaching needs, a strategy around style coordination and the inheritance of campus culture, a place-creation strategy and a step-based implementation strategy. All such strategies serve to provide reference points and ideas for campus reconstruction in the future.

In the current study, the effects of disasters, epidemics, and health and safety elements on the spatial form of existing blocks were examined. A focus on such effects in architecture circles demonstrates that research oriented towards the post-epidemic era should be prioritized. Therefore, examination of the renewal of a tea-set workshop in Chaozhou was conducted. The spatial forms of existing blocks were reconstructed and the corresponding design principles and solutions are discussed in this paper. Moreover, a spatial model of relevant architectural design was built to address several research questions related to the post-epidemic era. It is believed that expandable research fields encompassing existing blocks in the post-epidemic era should be a public-participation activity in the reconstruction process, as well as address mixed-land use of government and private organizations, public health, and the spatial control of disaster control systems. The study revealed that the production-residual integration mechanism of existing blocks, activation and perfecting of economics, and the healthcare and disaster control systems of blocks with "semi-public" spaces may collectively represent a development mode for the achievement of sustainable cities and architectural forms in the future.

In the context of industrial structure upgrading and transformation, disordered space utilization and an insufficient number of facilities represent universal problems in many industrial areas. In the current study, the case of the Chen Dajiao urban industrial area was examined. Its problems were comprehensively analyzed using an urban network analysis method based on the five quantitative indicators of reach, straightness, redundancy index, find patronage and patronage betweeness. A strategy of site-selection optimization and facility-scale adjustment from the perspectives of supporting facilities and improving the slow-traffic system and public space was developed. Furthermore, a strategy for a prototypical slow-traffic network system was developed by combining overall reserve and local remediation to collectively improve the density of the slow-traffic network and number of facilities in the area. Moreover, an ecological corridor combining nature and artificial landscapes was built to optimize street space by combining the reconstruction of right-of-way and facility perfection and creating public spaces with multi-level characteristic ecological landscape nodes.

Against the background of sponge-city construction and the transformation of old residential areas, sponge transformation in residential areas has become an important measure to improve residents' lives. As an important element of sponge facilities, green spaces represent the multiple functions of ecology, beautification and water storage. How to select and match suitable plants for sponges is central to sponge construction. Firstly, with an aim to optimize plant growth, plant species are selected according to the climate zone of the project. Secondly, plants with habits that align with the characteristics of different sponge facilities are selected to improve rainwater utilization and ecological benefits. Finally, plants that match with the morphological features of different sites are chosen to create plant landscapes in accordance with local atmospheres. In the current study, based on the abovementioned three steps, plant species and the combinations that are applicable to sponge projects in existing residential areas were screened. These plants can help designers form high-efficiency sponge-plant landscapes that reflect and adapt to local characteristics as well as minimize maintenance costs under limited planting conditions.

Based on a literature search and field investigation, and through a comparative analysis of oasis folk houses, the current study found that the phenomenon of periodic transfer between raw adobes and grey space is common in southern Xinjiang, but the differences lie in the form of grey space and the transfer time. This paper summarizes the geographical distribution of gray space types, compares and analyzes the different transfer times in different regions, and tries to explain these from the perspective of environmental adaptability. Through the analysis of the causes of transfer, it is hypothesized that transfer is caused by climate constraints, building material restrictions, differences between different parts of housing, and psychological compensation. As there is currently no professional description of this spatial system of periodic housing transfer, we propose the use of "migratory space" to refine this geographical feature. This study provides a theoretical reference for the construction of residential buildings in this area.

Spatial morphology is an integral part of the regional cultural blueprint of villages. In recent years, rapid urbanization and new rural construction have destroyed the authenticity of the spatial form of villages, resulting in disordered development of village spaces and broken village layout . The optimization and continuation of the spatial form of villages have become critical issues in the process of future rural planning. Most of the research to date in our country has focused on the spatial form of cities or traditional villages, but villages that have been destroyed in the process of rapid urbanization have been neglected. Further, most studies to date are qualitative in nature with rough geometric measurements, There has been little research on the laws of villages and the surrounding environment, nor on their future development. Based on fractal theory, geometric information was collected from 40 village samples. Plane geometric figures of three spatial scales were extracted and then quantitative analysis of spatial morphology was performed. Further, an in-depth analysis of the quantitative characteristics of village morphology and the relationship between spatial morphology and other elements was performed. This study of spatial morphology can be extended to common villages, allowing effective promotion of the optimization and continuation of the overall village spatial pattern in Nanning and to provide new ideas and methods for rural space construction in the future. At the same time, this study provides an accurate picture of rural construction in areas where the economy is lagging behind but urbanization is developing rapidly. The insight from this study can inform more scientific rural construction and planning in the future.

To date, survey projects on the protection and renovation of traditional historic buildings have only collected data on building diseases. The available studies also fail to carry out an effective building pathological analysis and fail to effectively utilize computer simulation technology to carry out environmental microclimate simulation recognition in the non-investigation period. By combining evidence-based analysis with building pathology, new evidence-based diagnosis technology for building pathology based on image chromotography is proposed. This study is based on the conservation project of ancient murals in the Town God's Temple. The features of building defects and environments were analyzed by image tomography. Further, combined with computer technology, the microclimate environment of different seasons was simulated. The layer overlapping technique was utilized to study the causal pathological mechanism of architectural diseases. The results showed that strong wind, rainfall, snow, freezing and thawing, and large differences in temperature are the important factors causing disease of murals in the east-west side hall. The application of this method to make inference on building disease mechanisms is more scientific and rigorous than traditional methods, and the analysis results can be extracted as an important reference for making engineering repair plans.

The bamboo house is the typical traditional residential building in Guangzhou. Due to the huge pressure from population growth in modern times, traditional bamboo houses have been excessively extended resulting in a large number of poor quality and unsafe bamboo houses; this has led to the formation of "slum-like" urban areas with serious hidden safety hazards. This, in turn, has caused a crisis for Guangzhou's traditional urban form. In this paper, a concept and design method for "new bamboo houses" are proposed. These can be applied to the renovation of poor quality and unsafe bamboo houses, so that bamboo houses can be protected and developed scientifically. This will result in revival and improvement of the traditional urban morphology of Guangzhou, promoting sustainable development of the urban context.

The grid system adapts to the regular framework structure and is an effective way to establish space order. With the rapid development of Non-Euclidean geometry and structural engineering, the innovative evolution of the grid system has stimulated the diversity and richness of space and has helped to construct a spatial order with compatible order and complexity. Studies of the relationship between grid system evolution and spatial order have identified three main grid system evolution logics: "Reshape", "Hierarchy", and "Topology". The current paper summarizes these by sorting, classifying, and analyzing related architectural examples of the evolution of the grid system. The main characteristics of spatial order constructed by the three grid systems are continuity, hierarchy, and adaptability. Against the background of the rapid development of parametric building theory and tools, this paper aims to expand the strategies and methods for constructing spatial order.

This research uses a UWB indoor positioning system to undertake a series of collections and analysis of mobile behavior data of viewers in the exhibition hall, and obtains their behavior preferences in different spatial forms through three different exhibition modes, to provide theoretical support for detailed and quantitative research and design optimization based on behavior in the exhibition building space. The research shows that in a small exhibition hall, the centralized arrangement of booths and panels is conducive to enhancing attractiveness in the area. At the same time, creating a certain sense of enclosure in the exhibition space, emphasizing central elements, reducing the size of openings, and changing opening methods all have the effect of increasing the time spent in the exhibition space. However, the arrangement of overly complex panels in a small-scale space can easily lead to ineffective path guidance, which will have a negative impact. The research has certain significance in using indoor behavior data to analyze the internal visit behavior of exhibition spaces, and is a systematic attempt to apply behavior analysis technology to indoor optimization strategies.

In recent years, China's aging population has grown considerably. Therefore, greater attention from the government and communities has been paid to the optimization of pension-facility allocation. Using a big-data visualization platform on data from aged-care facilities in Guangzhou, the current study examined the spatial distribution and geographical location of these facilities across the entire city. Additionally, a comparative analysis of the distribution of resources across aged-care facilities in all administrative regions of the city was performed by combining the spatial-structure characteristics of the elderly population. Results showed that a large number of aged-care facilities are concentrated in the central urban area of Guangzhou, leaving a small number of these facilities scattered in the city's suburbs. Moreover, it was found aged-care beds are distributed unevenly in the central old urban area and are more obvious across the aggregation and blank points (beyond the coverage of aged-care facilities). The city's older urban area was found to have a higher elderly population, fewer or smaller-scale pension facilities and less resources per capita for pension beds. Moreover, existing problems and improvement strategies were discussed based on the results of the quantitative analysis performed. This study provides a foundation for planning around pension facilities and related policies, coordinating the allocation of pension resources in Guangzhou in an orderly manner, and promoting social equity and progress.

This paper describes the course of events after the meeting between Xia Changshi and the Soviet thermal engineering expert Г.А.Максимов, in Guangzhou in 1958 and the discusses the relationship between their studies of the cooling design of buildings in Southern China. Archive materials on building thermal engineering in China during the 1950s~1960s and an oral interview with Professor Xia Changshi were reviewed to determine their intersection in thermal insulation roof design in 1958. Г.А.Максимов carried out quantitative assessments, mathematical modeling, and theoretical studies on a series of thermal insulation roof design experiments performed by Xia Changshi. Further, the scientific studies of Г.А.Максимов on the cooling design of buildings in South China in 1958 were mainly focused on two national architectural thermotechnical meetings, one survey of four cities in South China, and 22 topics. These new data not only fill in the blanks regarding historical events that occurred after the meeting between Xia Changshi and Г.А.Максимов in Guangzhou, but these findings supplement historical data on the role of Xiang Changshi in cooling building design in 1958 and also provide important clues for further exploration of the early theoretical development history of architecture in China.

How to reduce childhood obesity by optimizing the environment has become a frontier issue in the field of healthy cities research. A great volume of existing studies has shown that urban planning can increase children's physical activities by optimizing various environmental elements. However, the best way to optimize environmental elements and the underlying mechanism remains unclear. In total, 497 documents, published between 1999 and 2019, were selected as data sources to review the impact of the built environment on children's physical health; among the included studies, 60 documents were analyzed in detail. It was found that: (1) built environment indicators are less involved in terms of the micro and visual aspect; (2) objective and quantitative evaluation methods are seldom used, and study of the spatio-temporal path characteristics of children's physical activities is scarce; (3) there are few studies on the underlying mechanisms and case validation is lacking; (4) geographically weighted regression models have not been applied to the analysis of children's health; (5) a weighting system of environmental factors needs to be established urgently. Through the review of the existing literature, the current study highlights the deficiencies in the current research, points to future research directions, and proposes planning strategies for optimizing the built environment and improving children's health. This study can act as a reference for domestic empirical research in this field under the background of "healthy China".
