Abstract: This study focuses on finding the means for the harmonious and sustainable development of the people, resources, and environment of indemnificatory housing areas, as well as the prevention of the concomitants occurred in precedent countries, for example environmental deterioration, polarization between rich and poor, and social instability. It is elucidated in this paper that the government should provide residents of indemnificatory housing areas with diverse and humanized basic housing conditions and management services under the guidance of the idea of mixed housing, while follow the principles of open structure, elaborate design, shared facilities, environment friendly, and cooperative management. In addition, in this paper we demonstrated with practical examples that Harmonious Housing Mode is a sustainable development mode for indemnificatory housing.

Abstract: Natural light is the most fundamental natural element, and renewable natural resources. Rational and effective application of natural light in modern architectural design, reduces the consumption of energy, cuts down on architectural operation, maintenance, and management costs. It is an issue that must be taken into consideration and resolved for modern and future architects in design. The architectural world that we live in is composed of various materials. To choose the right materials, integrate and construct an ideal environment with natural light, and create architectures that communicate with people, are the objective of designers.

Abstract: Church missions have performed substantial missionary work and experienced many twists and turns in Modern China. Contacts and interchange between Chinese and Western culture became intense. A great number of churches were built to accommodate the Scheutist missionaries in the remote counties beyond the Great Wall. Many of these churches are still used, while others have been abandoned or fallen into disrepair. These churches bear witness to the architectural transmission and culture exchange between the West and East during the modernization process. I will trace the history of Scheut Missions in northern China, and focus on their church buildings. Through the comparison of the Belgian churches with the Chinese variants, the relevant similarities and differences in architectural design and construction will become evident within a global environment.

Abstract: The paper focuses on the relationship between the architectural culture and architectural design, puts forward the concept of architectural culture, expounds architectural cultures influence on Chinese traditional architecture and the western traditional architectures, and summarizes the importance and influence of architectural culture in the modern architectural design. This paper provides reference and experience for architects to design the modern architecture that can embody the design and spirit more vividly.

Currently the basic requirements of kindergarten location are affected by many factors, such as high-rise buildings, traffic jam and so on. The designs of most of kindergarten outdoor playground are simple and traditional. Combined with careful design by architecture and the needs of children, Outdoor playground will be quality environment for children in the kindergarten. Some factors related to kindergarten Outdoor playground are discussed for reference in design.

Abstract: The document demonstrates the topological theory application in architectural design, especially for the exhibition building. On the premise without changing the relationship between the various functions, the exhibition buildings can transform equivalently by the topological theory to adjust the function of the building and optimize design method. Building skin can be distorted, concave and convex, bending and so on, in order to boost the sculpture and modernity to exhibition architecture. The exhibition space can also be enhanced and amusing by disrupting flat, confused up and down, fuzzy inside and outside space. Summarize the topology theory application in exhibition design by topological analysis in the function, skin, streamline, space of the exhibition building.
