Openness, interaction and nature: Case study on the regeneration design of the cold region architecture department building in the informatization context

With the upgrading of education mode and the architecture discipline development in the informatization context, modern architecture education has gradually shifted from top-down elitism education to bottom-up humanism education, the contradiction between the traditional enclosed space and the growing demand of the Architecture Department Building's environment is the key to the development of architecture education. For cities in cold region, the quality of the architecture education space is threatened by severe cold climate. In the informatization context, optimizing spatial environments is facing severe challenges. Based on the theory of interaction demand and bioclimatology, this paper takes the School of Architecture of Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) as an example, proposes regeneration strategies and conducts CFD simulation to verify the effectiveness of the design which provides reference to the traditional Architecture Department Building's redevelopment in the cold region.
