Regeneration and Improvement of the Underground Courtyards in South Shanxi — Taking Zhangdian Town of Pinglu County as Example

Article Preview

Abstract:

As original forms of ecological building, underground cave dwellings contain rich construction ideas which embody modern culture including low carbon emissions, energy efficiency, environmental protection and harmony. Taking Zhangdian Town of Pinglu County in Shanxi as an example, this thesis made a study on the classification of the destruction of the underground courtyards in this region by collection and investigation of the first hand data on the spot. Then, a method for reinforcing, repairing and rebuilding is put forward according to different situations. The improvement for better cave dwelling environment is also proposed from the aspect of natural ventilation, lighting, thermal insulation, waterproofing, seepage proofing, traffic and so on, which set the base of the further development of underground courtyards.
