Interpretation of Historic Urban Landscape Genes: A Case Study of Harbin, China by Jianqiao Sun, Long Shao

“…The results indicate that: (1) The historic urban landscape genes are comprised of explicit landscape pattern genes; street and alley texture genes; architectural appearance genes; and implicit human settlement culture genes, industrial culture genes, historical culture genes, and spiritual culture genes. (2) The evolutionary traits of Harbin’s historic urban landscape genes manifest in several ways: the evolution of its landscape pattern genes, featuring “three-tiered terraces, balanced spatial arrangement, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and fan-shaped radial layout”; the evolution of its street and alley texture genes, exhibited through “a blend of Chinese and Western styles, sprawling and interconnected, unit linkage, and multi-dimensional intersections”; the evolution of its architectural style genes, marked by “diverse styles, a harmonious fusion of Chinese and Western elements, grouped interdependence, and adaptation to the times”; the evolution of its human settlement culture genes, highlighted by “a secluded lifestyle, diverse customs, and the coexistence of Chinese and Western cultures”; the evolution of its historical culture genes, distinguished by “unity in diversity and multicultural differentiation”; and the evolution of its spiritual culture genes, characterized by “pluralistic beliefs and inclusiveness”. (3) The essential difference between historic urban landscape genes and other genes lies in their adaptive evolution in response to environmental changes over generations and their ability to reveal the influence mechanisms among genes, between genes and landscape features, and between genes and the environment. …”
