通过文献法和访谈法对陈慈簧故居建筑形态演变进行梳理,从建筑地理学视角探析建筑演变与社会文化构建之间的互动关系与作用机制。研究发现,故居的建筑形态演变与前美村的社会文化建构间的互动关系存在耦合关联,由于在建设之初、冲突和重构3个不同时期双方作用力量有所差异,因此两者所呈现的形态与关系亦有所不同,宗族意义场所是两者的交汇点,建筑形态表现其场所意义,时代特征推动故居场所意义经历从宣示家族荣耀与权力―试图规训宗族意志―展演宗族与地方文化的重构。侨乡建筑的时空叠合的性质以及由其文化内涵所产生的场所意义是人文地理研究值得关注的对象。
This paper tried to analyze the interactive relationship and the mechanism between the transformation of architecture morphology and socio-cultural construction from the angle of view of architectural geography. Chen Cihong's former residence in Shantou was taken as a case to be studied. We found that the relationship between the morphology evolution of the former residence and socio-cultural construction was coupling and interactive. As the acting forces of the conflict and reconstitution were different in three stages, the morphology and the relationship were also different. What's more, for the Chen Cihong's former residence, the locality of patriarchal clan meaning is one of their meeting points. The architecture morphology of the residence showed its locality meaning and the times pushed the former residence's meaning reconstructing to experience a process from declaring family glory and power to trying to discipline clan volition, and then to performing the place's and clan's culture. We argue that more attention for human geography should be paid to the study of the space-time overlying property of Overseas Chinese's architecture and the locality meaning produced from its cultural connotation.
