Yang-Lon house in Kin-Men is a starting point of the diversification of traditional houses in southern Fujian. Its Veranda colonnade is not only a symbol of westernization, but also a significant stylistic form and a decorative vocabulary as well. The order of Veranda, which is composed of columns and beams, is not only a part of facade structure, but also a decisive factor of the form, image, and style of architectural decoration. Through an analysis of the Veranda colonnade of the Yang-Lon houses, this research attempts to investigate its compositional rules and to realize its formal characters and decoration. Main conclusions are as follows : 1. The colonnade on the facade of Yang-Lon houses in Kin-Men is basically built in three-partitioned motif. The distances between columns decide the outline of interior space. “Auxiliary posts”, which are located between central columns and margin columns do not carry load, create rhythm of colonnade. The auxiliary post changes the role of columns from a structural element to a decorative element, which shapes images of facade. 2. Since columns are mostly built in bricks, most columns are rectangle than circular. The decoration of columns is plentiful and remarkable. They are quite different from western classic columns. 3. About 80% of Yang-Lon houses adopt a unique type of beam or arches. “Beam on top”,“beam at side”, and “mix-up” are three major types of the compositions of column and beam. Generally speaking, “beam on top” is the most common types of column-beam composition. |
