Aiming at the weakness of “two kinds of thinking; lack of integration” between Chinese culture and green technology in the field of urban and rural construction, as well as the high-quality construction needs of China’s new urbanization, using system thinking, genetic factors, and iteration theory, the components of genetic and variation factors and the integrative and iterative mechanisms of Chinese culture and green technology were studied. Chinese culture is rich in humanistic and green science and technology feelings of “reciprocity between heaven and mankind” and “matching nature”, believing that the ways of science and technology is inherently consistent with the ways of nature and man. Chinese culture endorses green science and technology with humanity and soul, and green science and technology promote the evolution and rebirth of Chinese culture. The genetic factors of Chinese culture and the variation factors of green science and technology constitute the inheritance and renewal system of integration, the unity of opposites, and the coordination of conflicts between them, deducing the integrated architectural design mechanism in which science and technology are “culturized” and culture is “technologized”. The iterative mechanism of mathematical operation is the logical thinking of architectural design in the repeated feedback process of cultural and scientific spatial graphics. It approximates the design thinking law of design conditions and requirements through a cyclic iterative scaling operation and can use computer-aided iterative design. According to the function, level, and structural relationship between Chinese culture space graphics and green science and technology space graphics, the iterative mechanism of collocation accumulation is the iterative design law of level accumulation and optimized collocation. There are two kinds of deduction paths, forward and reverse fusion, in the iteration–fusion design mechanism, which form the integration and iteration logic of mutual carrier and object.

As the core area of south of the Five Ridges culture, Guangzhou is situated in the Pearl River Delta. The densely-distributed river network generates many waterfront settlements. The spatial patterns of the watercourse are complicated and diversified. Water port is an important element of the village. In this paper, we take water port and its surrounding space as the research object, such as Daling Village of Panyu District and Huangpu Ancient Port. Its spatial characteristics, protection and utilization are analyzed to reveal the mechanism of the external environment on the waterfront morphology and living environment of the waterfront settlements.
