Features: Continuously updating and improving knowledge level is the source of competitive advantage. The current active period of residential design is characterized by innovation. The emergence of new design theories and concepts, the appearance of new types of housing, and the promotion of new technologies all demonstrate the vitality of innovation and its contributions to residential construction. Our urban life has been constantly changing. How many people still live in houses from 10 years ago? But how to innovate is a more meaningful question. Is the current residential design a good work formed on the correct development track? Will these houses become incompatible with life 3-5 years from now? Will they fall behind in terms of cultural expression and the future representation of lifestyles? Our society is constantly progressing, but the dwelling building is fixed. Therefore, as good residential architecture, it must have foresight in future lifestyles and consider the changes in future lifestyle methods.
Although Chinese culture is profound and extensive, it faces the strong impact of global popular culture. We long for more national cultural spirit and a rational perspective on foreign development experiences. We cannot blindly copy them but must study them in depth based on China's actual conditions and selectively absorb design concepts suitable for China's national conditions:
1. Cultivating neighborhood relationships. Residents not only hope to have a good house alone but also want some neighbors to create a sense of community.
2. The outdoor space of the residence becomes an integral part of the entire residence. Both the exterior and interior design should emphasize continuity more.
3. Emphasizing the coordination between the exterior of the residence and the surrounding natural environment.
As Mr. Wu Liangyong said, "Housing environment engineering is also a very complex systematic project." Housing environment construction must meet five basic conditions:
- Ensuring residents have adequate housing;
- Providing guarantees for health and safety;
- Promoting harmonious development between people and urban residential environments;
- Building ecological environments;
- Sustainable development and utilization of residential resources.
Meeting these five conditions is not something that can be achieved overnight.
