What is an arcade?

Question 1: What is an arcade in a building? Who can explain it briefly? Arcade is the characteristic of early street shops in southern China. Its architectural form is two or three floors. Underground shops are paved only when they are recessed about 4 meters away from the street. The floor is supported by brick columns in the street. All the shops are closely connected, and the sunken part is a channel for sun protection and rain protection. This passage is called the arcade, that is, the cycling passage on the second floor, which is similar to the pedestrian walkway on the street now, except that an extra layer is used to shade the sun and keep out the rain.

Question 2: What is a arcade building? Baidu can find a picture of the arcade in Wuzhou, Guangxi, and that style is arcade. To put it bluntly, it is a building built on the side of the road. Above the second floor of the building, it extends to the roadside and covers the sidewalk on the roadside. Passers-by can always be on the sidewalk when shopping, and the building seems to be riding on the sidewalk, so it is called an arcade.

Question 3: What does arcade mean? Arcade refers to the corridor between buildings, which is built across the sidewalk and connected with each other along the road to form a free walk. This is a typical modern commercial building. Arcades are generally divided into three parts: top, main body and bottom.

It is an architectural form evolved from the combination of western ancient architecture and traditional culture in southern China. It can prevent wind, rain and sun, especially adapt to the subtropical climate in Lingnan, and its commercial practicability is more prominent. There are many such buildings in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Hainan. For example, Shangxiajiu in Guangzhou, Zhongshan Road in Xiamen, Zhuhai Street in Beihai and Jinling Road in Shanghai (an early Cantonese community). This kind of building is built to adapt to the wet and rainy weather and dense commercial buildings in the south. Shop downstairs, people live upstairs.

Its arcade across the street not only expands the living area, but also provides rain and sun protection, which is convenient for customers to choose and buy goods freely. It is one of the most distinctive buildings in southeast coastal towns.

For example, in the preface of Ba Jin's Autumn, it says, "I am squatting in a four-story house downstairs with some friends." 2, crossing the street or hutong buildings, the ground floor can pass. For example, Xu Jie's "Yan Lu and Me": "This building near the road has been renovated and changed into a arcade, which is rented to people and used as a temporary dormitory." Xinhua Monthly, No.6 1979: "After crossing the alley, the head is not too high, and there is an arcade hanging across the street."

Question 5: What's the difference between an eaves gallery and an arcade? Undereaves gallery

The horizontal traffic space under the eaves of the first floor of the building. (In the field of real estate surveying and mapping, the eaves gallery on the first floor needs to be higher than the outdoor terrace by more than one step to be considered as an eaves gallery. )

A corridor with floating eaves above it, with columns attached to the house at one side, is called a colonnade, while without columns, the other side is attached to the house, and both ends are called eaves corridors. The eaves gallery is not necessarily on the ground floor of the building. Many villas are on the third floor, around the house.

Some buildings have eaves galleries on every floor. This wrong quota refers to the ground floor of the building.

A building with the ground floor retreating along the street and leaving public space for pedestrians.

The arcade is a modern commercial and residential building, which was once the main architectural form of towns in Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Hainan. In fact, commercial arcade architecture was first seen in ancient Greece more than 2,000 years ago, and then it became popular in Europe, and it didn't spread all over the world until modern times.
