开放式建筑和多用途设计的概念被普遍认为是当代建筑的最新创新趋势，以应对当前全球化，快速变化的市场和可持续发展的要求。然而，基于对现存村落祠堂实例的广泛研究，特别是对其功能规划和形态需求的分析，本文试图证明这些概念已经存在于中国传统乡土建筑中。这一假设符合中国建筑的基本精髓：最大化模块化构件和标准平面，以适应大多数功能。这就解释了为什么中国传统建筑似乎大多掌握在大师级工匠手中，而没有经过建筑师的设计。为了引领未来，本文进一步研究了开放式建筑和多用途设计在当今时代的作用，特别是在当代语境下，无限空间和灵活方案在中国乡土建筑适应性再利用中的可能应用。
Abstract The concepts of Open Building and Multi-purpose Design are generally considered as the latest innovative trends in contemporary architecture in addressing the current globalization, rapidly-changing market and requirements of sustainability. However, based on extensive research on examples of surviving ancestral halls in villages, in particular on analysis of their functional programme and configurational desire, this paper attempts to demonstrate that such concepts are already inherent in Chinese traditional vernacular architecture. This hypothesis is in line with the basic essence of Chinese architecture: maximization of modular components and standard plans to suit most functions. This explains why traditional Chinese architecture appears to have been mostly in the hands of master craftsmen without the design by architects. To lead the way forward, this paper further studies the roles of Open Building and Multi-purpose Design in the current age, in particular the possible application of Indefinite Space and Flexible Programme in Adaptive Re-uses of Chinese vernacular architecture in the contemporary context.
