Research on New Folk Houses with Regional Characteristics and Earth Material

Abstract:

Based on the actual requirements of constructing characteristic towns in Yunnan Province, this paper describes the “framework design principles for architectures with regional characteristics” in an explorative way as the control measures and guidance for the construction of new residences in small sized towns. Taking Jiasa Town in Xinping County of Yunnan Province as an example, the paper gives five “framework design principles” which are extracted from the constructional essence of “Tu-Zhang-Fang”(Soil-Made House), a kind of traditional building of the local Huayao Dai ethnic group and the features of the mountain landform of the Dry&Hot Valley, and provides the innovative ideas on the construction of new folk houses with regional characteristics under the control of the aforesaid principles.
