Architectural Model Design Research Based on Social Morphology Mapping

Abstract

This study aims to explore the issue of declining social mobility in China, against the backdrop of China's economic development since the initiation of reform and opening-up in 1978. This study introduces an innovative urban spatial concept that vertically distributes three major social strata within a building, aligning them with different functional spaces. By closely integrating production resources and factors of production, this study regulates workers' labor time on the one hand and encourages them to maintain substantial purchasing power on the other hand. This novel perspective constructs a distinctive urban landscape. Since the initiation of economic reforms and opening up in China, the economy has experienced vigorous growth. However, social mobility has gradually decreased. Against this backdrop, this study takes the three major social strata as its foundation and reimagines the spatial arrangement within cities. By integrating social strata with functional spaces, the spatial manifestation of various strata's status and roles is the goal. Meanwhile, the introduction of production factors guides the behavior of workers. On one hand, labor time is regulated to seek more production resources. On the other hand, workers are encouraged to maintain higher purchasing power. However, it's worth noting that the current notion of "humans should be doing the same things" is gradually evolving into a utopian aspiration. Through this study, the aim is to encourage individuals to reconsider the connection between social mobility and class, along with exploring ways to establish a more inclusive and fair future within urban environments.
