Abstract:As the most commonly used spatial vocabulary in Chinese traditional architecture, courtyard has been the experiential paradigm of Chinese habitation with long term accumulation of collective memory. However, amalgamated dwelling seems to be the mere choice to rapidly satisfy the rigid demand of mass social housing under the contemporary resource and environment pressure. Based on previous studies on the vocabulary and syntax of Chinese traditional courtyard, this research explores the possibility of representing courtyard vocabulary in contemporary amalgamated dwelling. By applying design-based approach, it aims at exploring the strategy of transforming the traditional vocabulary and syntax into achievable spatial structure within contemporary amalgamated dwelling, and then discussing the significance of courtyard inhabitation mode in terms of fitting potential social relationships in modern China.
