Abstract:

The earth building is a building type with enormous quantity and widely being used in rural section of south-western part. It will dominate for a long time. The environment of traditional earth buildings is very poor because of out-dated ideological limitations and construction mode, it can’t meet the needs of increasingly demanding of local people. So these buildings must recur to modern technologies to integrate fine parts in tradition and form new appropriate technologies. This paper took Yi minority’s houses in Yongren as an example to look for a road opening to rural buildings’ sustainable development.
