2. Xiang Shan University in Hangzhou, China :
Traditional Revival through the Adaptation of Traditional Chinese Architecture in Modern
Contemporary Design
Problem Statement:
Chinese traditional architecture is indigenous to its specific time and place which is not
replicated elsewhere that allows a higher and more sustainable quality of life in the residential
communities. Such simple traditions have long been regarded as backward, and have been
replaced by half digested, mostly inappropriate architectural values. Therefore, it is crucial to
bring back the traditional architecture values in modern contemporary architecture to maintain
the harmony and the unique tradition of the region.
Research Questions:
1. How did Xiang Shan University revive traditional Chinese architecture through its building
orientation?
2. How has the revival of traditional Chinese belief informed the placement of Xiang Shan
University?
3. How does the application of traditional Chinese courtyards deliver the aim of reviving
traditional architecture at Xiang Shan University?
4. How does the form of the exterior corridors of Xiang Shan University reflect the surrounding
context and assist in (BY) reviving traditional Chinese culture?
5. How can the revival of traditional Chinese architecture be accomplished through
implementing the gable roofing system in Xiang Shan University?
6. How does the revival of traditional Chinese architectural element “Moon Gate” in Xiang Shan
University influence the poetics of building spaces?
3. 7. How does the application of old clay tiles in Xiang Shan University conduce in reviving
traditional Chinese architecture?
8. How does the vernacular material, stones assist in reviving traditional Chinese architecture at
Xiang Shan University?
Summary
In this project, we decided to carry out an in-depth case study on how the Xiang Shan University
pursuit traditional revival by adopting traditional Chinese architecture characteristics in its
design. Traditional Chinese architecture faces a retrogressive movement due to strong
emphasis on modernism. If the values and characteristics of the traditions are not preserved, it
will be gone forever. Thus, traditional revival through readaptation of certain characteristic of
traditional Chinese architecture in modern design may be a solution to preserve these
outstanding universal values. Our case study supports the topic with in-depth research through
articles, journals and documentation about Xiang Shan University and traditional Chinese
architecture. The objective of this study is to bring awareness that modern contemporary design
can evolve simultaneously with traditional architectural concepts and values. Traditional revival
in modern contemporary architecture will not just preserve alone but create a unique and
successful design which find balance in these two contrary eras and create a new perspective in
architecture.
