本论文的目的为振兴重庆历史名镇磁器口主街道以外地区的旅游业和商业发展。作者在现存建筑的基础上创新性地设计了一个既有商业价值又有观赏功能的生态区域；相互连接的屋顶花园和高架通道与现有建筑无缝对接，使得主街道游客分流和主街道以外区域的发展成为可能。自从1997年该市成为直辖市以来,地方政府一直致力于改造翻新磁器口一条长达800米的主街道，以便将其打造成旅游热点。在过去的二十年里，这条街道见证了游客的稳定增长，今天它是中国西南地区最受欢迎的景点之一。尽管享受了商业成功，磁器口一直存在一个不断被忽视的问题，威胁它作为一个功能性的稳定发展的旅游目的地：主街道后面的区域破旧衰落，而每天访问这条没有向外分叉主街道的游客往往超过其正常容纳能力，游客不得不在不使人愉快的过度拥挤中度过访问的任何一天。更重要的是，忽略主街道分流建设已导致主街道以外的许多地区（约占该千年古镇土地面积的50％以上）的生态环境日趋恶化。这些地区挤满了残破的建筑物，堆积废旧物品的窝棚，以及众多家庭共用的公共厕所，这幅景象反映了磁器口的更大的现实。考虑到这一点，本文提出对主街道以外不发达区域通过实施由相互连接的屋顶花园和高架通道组成的新的循环通道系统，高架通道作为次要循环路线以缓解主要街道的拥挤，在结构上与现有建筑结构有机连接，而屋顶花园则提供了磁器口所缺少的大面积休歇空间。

The purpose of this thesis is to revitalize part of the Ciqikou Historical District inShapingba, Chongqing. Since 1998, when the city became a municipality, the governmentplaced an enormous amount of time and effort to renovate Ciqikou as it remains the onlysurviving old town in Chongqing. Tourists have since flocked this touristic destination to takestroll down its main street and try the local delicacies and cuisine. Over the last fifteen yearsof renovation, the buildings along the main street have been slowly and steadily revitalizedand occupied; however, less than 50% of the land of the historical district is fully occupiedand giving either commercial or residential value, as the majority of buildings not directlyvisible or connected to the main street have been ignored in the grand scheme of thisrenovation. Because of the poor conditions that these areas make for living, many old localshave long disappeared. It is therefore imperative to find solutions to reverse this trend andrevitalize the ‘history’ in Ciqikou by bringing old residents back and giving them a decentplace to stay within the old district. This thesis will result in a comprehensive design of a setof buildings in the most historical part of Ciqikou, with the objective of improving the overallcultural, experiential, and economical value of place.
