Abstract: Reasonable formula of jacking force and scientific dynamic analysis has an important contribution to guide the building monolithic moving Engineering. In this paper, take the temple as an example to study building monolithic movement. It is shown in the analysis results of SAP2000 that the mortise-tenon joints (in the wooden structure) has a significant influence in improving the energy dissipation capacity, prolonging the structural free vibration period,minimizing the dynamic response of structure. The acceleration of all the joints tends to be in consistent under the dynamic force effect. The structure has enough safety capacity within the right displacement margin for joints.

Abstract: Based on the Evaluation Standard for Green Buildings, we selected Taiyuan No. 63 Middle School Campus Rebuilding Project (which won “Two-Star Evaluation Label for Green Building Design”) as an engineering case, studied main design methods and technical means for this project from the perspective of an evaluation label, summarized relevant experiences, and put forward factors to be emphatically taken into account in creating green buildings as well as associated precautions.

Abstract: Ecological System Theory in planning and design is discussed in this paper. The article studies the composition of urban, landscape and building ecosystem, integrated ecology and design, integrated uses in urban and landscape area, the method of interdisciplinary working. System theory is involved in this paper to discuss relevant questions. In addition to these, the article gives account of ecological engineering in all-around, including ecological denotation and connotation analysis, the wider sense and the narrow sense, the general level and the high level about ecological engineering. This article argues the problem of ecological strategies in the landscape design and planning, and the main contents of ecological strategies. It includes the strategy of landscape sustainable development, which is in conflict with rapid economies and historic preservation, ecological conservation.

Abstract: New rural construction is practiced across the country and northern Jiangsu is one of them. In accordance with the overview of the current new rural development, the problem existing in the new rural construction is put forward, namely, the phenomenon that the current village landscape designs are similar lies in large amounts of new rural areas. New rural construction in northern Jiangsu can draw lessons from this problem. Starting from features of the local residence in northern Jiangsu to the exploration for the cultural value and significance of the local residence, some suggestions are provided for the protection of the local residence during the new rural construction in northern Jiangsu.

Abstract: The word of sustainability has acquired great importance due to the negative impact of various developments on the environment. The rapid developments in rural and urban area during the last decade have been accompanied by active construction which sometimes neglected the impact on the natural environment and human activities. One of the impacts of developments is occurred on the traditional heritage area, as the vernacular architecture of kampong of Bena, Flores, which has not been taken into consideration although the latter represents a rich resource for sustainable building practices. The study aims at examining these developments in the vernacular kampong of Bena, Flores by using an assessment tool that measures the performance of buildings in terms of their sustainability. This study attempts to: (a) develop a comprehensive definition of sustainability to suit the (indigenous) people needs; (b) classify sustainable building practices at local and regional levels; and (c) establish guidelines for future sustainable architecture. Results illustrate that average energy use in contemporary buildings is high and traditional buildings showed less sustainable measures in terms of energy features, energy performance and environmental features. Issues considered in the assessment of buildings such as energy use per square meter and CO2 emission are alarming. Traditional buildings in the vernacular kampongs of Flores were more sustainable than contemporary buildings.

Abstract: Use the same architectural language, different expression technique to meet the function of the construction and its own aesthetic. Use braiding, weaving and bifurcation to express the form, patterns and structure. Because the function of the architecture is a fashion museum, so from internal to external fashion tangling lines.

Abstract: Through the survey and research on the rural historical building of Zhejiang Province, the questions of protection of historical building and development of village individual style during the new rural construction phase are discussed and some measures and suggestions are put forward.

Abstract: The pitched roofs of Chinese traditional dwelling have good ecological adaptability. Deeply research to find out the valuable technology helps energy-efficient building today. Through the study of the technology of draining, waterproofing, wind protecting, ventilation, insulation, dissipation and heat preservation applied in pitched roofs, the paper summarizes the changes of roof pitch, material and construction technique according to the climate. The objective is to provide new ideas and ways for energy-efficient building to achieve better ecological adaptability today.

Abstract: Based on the analysis of the Provincial Third Middle School of Shanxi, the author demonstrates that these pre-modern school buildings are an excellent example of the rapid development of Shanxi pre-modern education and are a unique building complex among pre-modern school architectures in Shanxi, proving that the buildings themselves are of prominent historical value and are inspiring for contemporary architectural design.
