Abstract: The design and planning of hotel space should be based on the survival and development of hotels. The designer should try to make his design and planning comprehensive and accurate, highlighting the function and features of the targeted hotel space. In the mean time, the designer, when designing and planning the hotel space, should keep up closely with the times, follow the trend in which traditional culture converges and integrates with modern civilization, insist on people foremost, make scientific analysis and appraisal, integrate various resources, so as to maximize the value of a hotel and enhance its vitality and competitiveness in markets.

Abstract: Construction of new design scheme in new countryside settlements should be closely around the "people-oriented and environment-centric" design concept under eco concept, with it building a sustainable village living environment system. This paper through a large number of field research and scientific research, uesd rural settlements in Guanzhong area as case study, under eco-design strategy to construct design mode of settlements planning and architectural design. And used the typical village - “Donghan”village as an example in keeping with the practice of the mode. It would have certain theoretical and practical guiding significance for the sustainable development of ruralcountryside settlements.

Abstract: Chinese and western architecture art, often be summed up with a "stable" and "change". This article tries to architectural culture, building materials, construction space layout and construction from four aspects of development of Chinese and western architectural art characteristics were analyzed.

Abstract: Feature decline is a common phenomenon in our city nowadays. Taking the cities in southwest china for example, this paper discusses conception and formation of urban morphology,sums up the influencing factors, and concludes the law that urban morphology fits the function, adapts to the environment. Furthermore, it also discovers the mechanism that explains how all this happens. Then, the paper analyses the reasons of feature decline, gets the inspiration that the aim of building characteristic city is not chasing some certain shape, but inheriting and developing the way of making use of nature, building city which satisfying the function and environment.

Abstract: Modern operating rooms are increasingly turning to contamination control by ventilating technology for the infectious control. The objective of this study is to present the strategic approach on performance improvement of the ventilating system for a hospital operating room under limit budget. A physical partition curtain has been proposed and conducted around the high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter of an operating room to validate the improvement of air distribution and contamination control. Numerical simulation of a full-scale operating room has been carried out at a district hospital. The results from computer simulation revealed that the improvement of airflow could be achieved satisfactorily by the application of a physical partition curtain at the length of 1.2 m. Ventilation performance could be assessed extensively not only by airflow distribution and concentration profile but also by the calculation of contamination concentration decay.

Abstract: Thermoelectric cooler has the advantage of being portable, simple, compact, noiseless, reliable, and environmentally benign. It is quite suitable for transporting and storage for bio-medical products (such as vaccine and blood) which are very sensitive to temperature variation. However, the coefficient of performances (COP) and the cooling capacity of the thermoelectric coolers available in the open market are relatively low. In this study, the effort will be focused on the design of the heat transfer aspect for a thermoelectric blood cooler specific for bio-medical application. Optimized thickness at 0.0025m of a plate fin with length at 0.598m could be obtained through heat transfer analysis. Performance tests have been conducted to investigate the influence of cabinet temperature in the thermoelectric blood cooler. Experimental tests revealed the optimized plate fin can provide satisfactory cooling performance, and to cool down the cabinet until 2°C within 40 minutes. Some tests including different voltage input, loading condition and ambient temperature tests for blood storage have been conducted as well to validate the quality of blood cold chain storage. It is expected that the developed thermoelectric cooler for blood cold chain system will perform stable cold storage and precise temperature control specific for medical application.

Abstract: The daily life mode of urban residents is the basic content of the construction of low carbon city. The transformation of daily life mode reflects the values and the value orientation in the stages of the social development. For the innovation of reducing carbon emissions, the mode of public daily life must be transformed with a creative method. The paper reviews the traditional urban life mode, discusses the three aspects of construction of public value, extensive public participation, and low carbon life mode based on community, and proposes the methods and approaches of constructing the daily life mode of low carbon city.

Abstract: Today of context of globalization, the traditional geographical constraints are broken, and the differences between urban scenes are narrowing. So how to reflect the regional characteristics while the construction of modern city becomes an important issue of urban color planning. Based on chromatology theory, this paper takes Zhengzhou for example to explore the direction of urban color environment planning in respective of current process of urbanization.

Abstract: Wooden building has a long history in China. In Chinese ancient architectures, such as many palaces, temples, pavilions and ordinary residences were built with wood. However, because of the shortage of forest resources in China, the development of wooden building in China severely lagged behind the other developed countries nowadays. In order to promote the development of wooden structure in China, the advantages of modern wooden building are objectively analyzed from five aspects including seismic behavior, thermal insulation and energy conservation, green environmental protection, comfortable property and construction technology, etc. The problems are occurred in the process of popularization and application of wooden building in China are also described. Base on China’s actual conditions, some instructive suggestions and countermeasures about revival application of wooden building in China are presented. The research can provide theoretical reference to the development of wooden structure in China.

Abstract: Innovative architectural acrylic spike application leads to a great challenge for structural engineers for the structural design of Shanghai Expo British pavilion. A set of mechanical properties has been proposed to provide a reference for the application of acrylic material in structure design area. The wind tunnel, fatigue and creep tests and research for acrylic spike were carried out to determine the wind load effect of spike and ensure that the spikes are not damaged under fatigue and creep effects during 1.5 years service period.
