Research on the Renovation Strategy of Micro-space Facilities in Front of Aging Residential Buildings under the Concept of Micro-renewal——A Case Study of Benxilou Small District in Tianjin
This paper aims to effectively implement the renovation strategy for micro spaces in front of urban aging residential neighborhoods.It is imperative to extend and establish a spatial environment that embodies a richer'everyday scenario'and'life significance,'thus enhancing the sustainable development of the living environment within the context of'incremental renewal'.Taking the Benxi Building Complex in Tianjin as a case study,this research involved on-site observations,questionnaire interviews,and behavioral notations to investigate and analyze the current utilization and functional characteristics of its front microspaces.Based on residents'daily life needs and regional cultural features,it proposed design principles for adjusting,refurbishing,reshaping,and activating these micro spaces.The study employed a design strategy of functional module'deconstruction-recomposition'and service site'clever borrowing-light returning'to create a series of facility composite modules that are functionally versatile,mechanically flexible,morphologically diverse,and adaptable.Significantly alleviated ownership management and boundary interest conflicts that arise during the spatial renovation process,enhanced spatial efficiency,activated community vitality,emphasized traditional aesthetics,and improved environmental quality.The micro-space facility renewal strategy,guided by the micro-renewal concept,offers valuable insights and references for sustainably creating an engaging,co-building,co-sharing,and harmonious living environment in aging residential neighborhood micro spaces.
