Reusing Old Construction Materials in the Renovation of Traditional Villages — A Case Study of the Mou Estate of Qixia City, Shandong Province

Abstract:

The Mou Estate in Qixia City, Shandong Province is listed as an important heritage site under state protection. In view of its cluttered environment and dilapidated buildings, the renovation plan puts forward three protection strategies: preserving traditional mode of production and way of life, protecting the village's overall environment and utilizing local building materials for renovation, with old materials particularly preferred. Thus mass demolition and total reconstruction can be avoided. Historical development, spatial makeup, mode of production and way of life can be preserved and heritage protection and cultural tourism can be achieved at the same time.
