Abstract：AbSTRAcT The visual sensation of a city usualy comes from its physical, architectural spatial forms. Exploring deeply into the city reveals its cultural pattern. The material and non-material forms of the dweling culture actively interact with each other. It is therefore worthwhile to investigate whether the material form of dweling determines the cultural pattern of a city or vice versa. Since modern times, the dweling development of Hankou has a distinct social and geographical space diachronic identity and housing, which is the material carrier of the block culture represents its identity. In the process of exploring the urban dweling of modern Hankou, we found that the diverse block types and dweling forms generated various of subcultures, which established a bi-directional association for interactive relationship of cause and effect, we analyzed the macro characteristics of residential block culture and the dwelling type culture constructed on the form of heterogeneous texture. We further focused on the correlation between social and cultural category like people’s “behavioral and psychological paradigm” under specific dweling circumstance, which wil be of practical significance for housing development and establishment of identifiable community culture.
