Abstract: Targeted at the isolated old (including the isolated old living with nanny), this paper analyzes the characteristic of the living style of the isolated old through the place in which the elderly sleep, have meals and do daily living, and the relationship between the living styles and the health stages. On the basis of it, this paper comes up with suggestions for the sustainable residential unit design for the isolated old from the self-care stage to the nursing-cared stage.

Abstract: Stadium vomitory width plays a very important role in the evacuation process of large number of spectators. The current estimation method of vomitory minimum width in China building codes often brings architects misunderstanding in the egress design and evacuation performance of stadiums. Therefore, this paper investigates the composition of spectator crowds in different events hosted in stadiums, their movement capability and way-finding behaviors, build a typical unit of terraced stand based on the parameters given by building codes, use agent-based model STEPS to simulate and analyze the effect of vomitory width on stadium evacuation efficiency. The simulated results show that the vomitory width affects stadium evacuation efficiency very differently. Architects should organize the circulation system reasonably and provide guidance for spectator crowds while designing the stadiums, not blindly increase the vomitory.

Abstract: The authors tried to explore the design direction on the regional characteristics of the campus building in southwest district by studying on the relevant theories and combining with the design practice of the art teaching group in Zunyi Normal College Xinpu new campus, which had used the function applicable, terrain suitable, climate adaptable, economy suitable and characterization appropriate strategies.

Abstract: The characteristics of gymnasium and its specific large span structure were summarized. Then, in the view of an architect, to explore the innovation of gymnasium images, structure expression technique was utilized, including space form and development, space and image, dialogue between environment and culture, and individuality. It is an important way to architecture innovation that structure is correctly and properly treated, utilized and expressed.

Abstract: Architectural history of China is all about the forms of mute objects and urban plans as well as architectural technology and spatial art. The role of men in the process of construction is neglected. The detail of the men working on the project should be made visible in the history. Only in this way, we can understand a whole architecture or a city plan [1]. The story of how to start a project and how to manage a project is a very important part of architectural history because a building or a city should not be allowed to construct without a reasonable demand and should not be constructed without management specially a large scale of project. Accordingly, management and historical background should be reflected in the history of a building or a city plan, rather than leaving them as anonymous elements behind the history. In this paper, some examples are taken to exemplify why the role of men is neglected from the state institute to the craftsmen themselves and the importance of the role in a construction. How to manage or determine a project is also studied to exemplify part of the reason why traditional architecture in China develops in this way [2].

Abstract: In the course on recalling the history of modern college library, the article excavated that modern college library was formed the decisive planning mode and architectural style before last century 80's, as a major member of universities’ architecture. And to a great extent, it influenced university library after last century 80's. In order to explain this phenomenon intuitively, the article has carried on the massive on-the-spot investigation and the research, then has expounded their historical value, artistic value and scientific value, and finally gives the new development suggestion through undeceiving demonstration of argumentation. The article also lies in enlightening more experts of other cities on research relevantly, so that the development status of college library has presented in precise term throughout the country, and then afforded us a useful reference in creating college library further better.

Abstract: With the rapid development of social economy, a new wave of environmental renewal and old city reconstruction will be stirred. conserving and inheriting traditional and its historical culture is not only an issue but also a challenge. This paper tries to extend the concept of menes to the conservation and inheritance of traditional architectural culture from the perspective of biological gene genetics and by means of analogy and deduction. It aims at conserving and inheriting the historical culture of architecture and preserving the historical architectural heritage so as to promote the sustainable and harmonious development of architectures, landscape and environment.

Abstract: Based on the architectural design practice of Peach Blossom Valley Traffic Control and Training Center, this paper probes into several key points of modern architecture creation from the aspects of local cultural context, adaptation to local conditions, traditional signs and architectural style, etc., emphasizing that traditional local architectural culture should be inherited and developed in the modern architecture design.

Abstract: This paper discusses on the protection significance, contents and principles of ancient architecture in China, and reveals current protection problems. By taking the Ming and Qing dynasty’ street in River town in Xiaochang for example, it is analyzes the local protection attitudes and principles. The ultimate purpose of the article is to show the protecting importance of ancient architecture, and discuss the general protection method.

Abstract: Sustainable architecture design is a kind of system design, which helps to solve all the economic，social and environmental issues simultaneously as a single system. It is directed by the system theory and has changed the traditional linear thinking into system thinking. Because of the poor city planning, solving the energy crisis has becoming a most important consideration of modern sustainable architecture design. About 50% of all the poisonous substances generate from the transportation and construction of the building materials. It is time to reflect on the relationship of all the components in the ecology system. In order to understand the theory well under the complex ecosystem，the paper integrates with the practical case to help analyze the sustainable architecture. Directed by the system thinking in the architecture design, we hope to obtain the goal of minimum consumption, maximum effectiveness.
