Abstract
The directly observed spatial morphology and current landscape pattern data are important premises for optimizing and updating historical districts. Taking the Central Street of Harbin for example, the paper analyzes the block spatial structure, landscape pattern, architectural color, and spatial visual perception through ArcGIS software technology, based on architectural vector data and road vector data. The result shows that the D/H of the main street is between 1 and 2 with a low sense of space pressure and a phased sense of spatial enclosure. The spatial structure of “one main road with multiple frontage roads” has more spatial intersection nodes, forming a progressive relationship between the primary road and secondary ones. Architectures of different European and quasi-European styles created the continuity in space and spatial enclosure among all preserved buildings. The enlarged visual angle of the intersection of the main and the frontage road forms a corner space, with strong depth perception while the sight extends along the frontage road. The primary colors of the building façade in the district are beige and gray with red and green as the embellishment color. To protect the original cultural elements in the historical districts, the space renovation concept adopts the idea of “knowledge tour box,” laying a theoretical foundation for optimizing the space structure and the heritage protection of the historical districts in the winter cities.
