| Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to explore the diverse layout types of Wuhan’s early-modern Lifen house. Despite there already being enough
research respecting individual urban dwellings, the systematical and elaborate studies on this topic was minimal until the study that defined
Row House as Li House emerged by Chinese researcher Sun. The definition of Li House was drawn upon and the layout types of different
cities that emerged under the same generational background was comprehensively analyzed utilizing an on-the-spot investigation method
around Liyuan House in Qingdao Lilong House in Shanghai and Lifen House in Wuhan. During this systematical research about Li House,
the otherness of Lifen House in Wuhan was more prominent compared to other houses. By focusing on the layout types of Lifen House,
there were definitely more types than in other cities; this kind of housing layout highlighted Wuhan city’s regionalism. |
