Modern Reconstruction of Traditional Garden Space Prototypes in Neo-Chinese Landscapes

This paper explores the dialectical relationship between 'boundaries' and 'integration' within Neo-Chinese landscapes. Focusing on the four core spatial prototypes of traditional gardens—'corridors, pavilions, courtyards, and lanes'—it analyses their contemporary translation strategies within the context of high-density urban environments. The research reveals that while traditional spatial prototypes face multiple pressures, including spatial compression, shifting functional demands, and climate adaptability challenges, their cultural value and spatial functions can still be effectively reconstructed through innovative methodologies such as three-dimensional extension, fragmented reassembly, topological deformation, and scale translation. The boundary reconstruction of Neo-Chinese landscapes is manifested not only in physical transparency and functional compounding but also through psychological suggestion and dynamic temporal transitions. Furthermore, integration is achieved across multiple dimensions, including the contemporary translation of cultural memory, the amalgamation of ecological technologies with traditional wisdom, and the spatial empowerment of community governance. By examining the 'Yanlord Tangbei' project in Suzhou and the 'Sunac Guobin One' project in Chengdu as typical case studies, this paper verifies the efficacy and innovativeness of modern translation strategies, providing both a theoretical framework and a practical pathway for the critical reconstruction of Neo-Chinese landscapes.
