Protection And Reuse of Nanjing Yihe Road Historical and Cultural Block

Abstract

The historic and cultural district of Nanjing Yihe Road has profound historical value, which should be preserved in today's society. To preserve these buildings means preserving the architectural history and culture of China. This paper examines the evolutionary process, the value and significance of the existence of the Nanjing Yihe Road Historical and Cultural Quarter, the existing problems, and proposes measures. The results show that there have been four stages in the evolutionary process from the implementation of the Capital Plan to the present. The value of the existence of the Yihe Road Cultural Quarter is divided into three aspects: cultural value, architectural value, and planning value. The construction of the Summer Palace has changed the traditional construction methods of the Chinese people for more than a thousand years and has pushed the construction of buildings in China onto the path of scientific design, which is also of great value in the history of modern Chinese architecture. However, some problems manifest in three aspects: poorly reflected values, poor preservation, and unsatisfactory improvement schemes. Several renovation proposals have been put forward in response to the problems, drawing on some excellent examples from China. Firstly, it is suggested to increase the functionality and spatiality of the building and pay attention to the development of Republican architecture.
