Abstract

The general practice of town renovation is to pull down old houses and build new ones. However, demolition wastes can be used again. With the support of party A, the Mou Estate designed by the author serves as a good example of old village transformed by utilizing old materials. With old materials particularly preferred, mass demolition and total reconstruction can be avoided, and heritage protection and cultural tourism can be achieved at the same time.
