Design logic of post-industrial landscape structure based on Metaphor-Deconstruction-Empowerment: A case study of the Truss Red Gallery in Hebei

Abstract

The cultural memory of the formation of urban culture in the post-industrial era has driven the development of post-industrial landscapes. Post-industrial culture needs to be conveyed through functional spaces, and among various functional spaces within post-industrial landscapes, post-industrial landscape structures hold significant research value. Through a literature review, three main issues in current research on post-industrial landscape structures have been identified: disputes regarding design styles, scattered design and analysis logic, and the lack of specific case-based analyses. Therefore, this study introduces the Metaphor-Deconstruction-Empowerment (MDE) design logic and utilizes the Truss Red Gallery (TRG) in Caofeidian, Hebei, as a research subject for specific analysis, thus addressing these three research gaps. In the analysis process, this study provides specific analyses of the metaphors reflected in TRG's design symbol language and exterior colours. It also examines the deconstruction manifested in the overall space and design details. Furthermore, it analyzes the empowerment showcased in the expansion of architectural space functions, the application of parametric design techniques, and the use of green and low-carbon technologies. Finally, this study conducts an overall logic analysis of the MDE design logic in TRG's design and, in conjunction with the actual construction process of TRG, provides insights into future research directions for the MDE design logic.
