At the stage of basic study, according to the constitution and historical evolution of rural human settlements, the study puts an emphasis on the three main aspects, which influence the strategies of sustainable development of rural construction in the Southwest: comprehensive developing situation of poor rural areas, national policies related to villages and theories of rural sustainable development. The results of the comprehensive analysis show that: directed by the philosophy of ecological sustainable development with the principle of 'high science and low technology', the strategy study of technology and organisation based on improving vernacular traditional technology, is a significant breakthrough to the current research of sustainable architecture within the poor rural areas of the Southwest, and is also a most practicable and effective way towards the sustainable development of human settlements in the rural Southwest. / Following the above guideline and principles, various achievements of both domestic and oversea researches and practices on related topics were systematically analysed, categorized and assorted at the strategy study stage. Through a further verification and emendation by the Maan Village Rebuild Demonstration Project at the case-based study stage, a strategical framework of the research on the technology and its practical organization for rural sustainable architecture is carried out, considering the particular conditions of the poor rural areas in the Southwest. Based on this study result, it is expected that future related researches in this domain could be more focused and systematic; and that a series of feasible guidelines indicating more clearly the direction of practice could be provided to the decision making bodies for their practices of rural construction. / In the rural Southwest with a densest impoverished population of China, the current conditions of human settlements are generally less desirable, limited by the local conditions in economy, topography, resource, etc.. In particular, disasters from such as the several recent several earthquakes fully exposed the grim situation of local housing safety and quality of the living environment. / In view of the background, by taking into considerations of the local comprehensive situation, the paper systematically studied strategies of research and its extension on sustainable development of rural construction in impoverished rural areas from the standpoint of rural building construction, combining related achievements of both domestic and oversea researches and practices. The study focuses on the macroscopic and moderate level, and consists of three stages: foundation study, strategy study and case-based study. / Since the Wenchuan Earthquake, with the national New Countryside Construction's increasing investment in the western part of China, a summit of government-promoted construction has been arriving in impoverished rural areas in the Southwest. Nevertheless, through analysing the existing practical problems arising from New Countryside Construction in recent years, it can be discovered that the decision-making bodies of various levels who lead the rural construction, is short of both a sustainable and suitable strategical guideline and theoretical basis. Currently, research and practice related to sustainable architecture development in poor rural areas of China is still at its early case-based stage with a lack of focused and systemic view, and hence is inadequate to act as professional guidelines for governments' practices. Consequently, it is exigent and critical to gradually establish a strategical system and theoretical framework for guiding rural construction in the Southwest toward a sustainable approach. / 穆鈞. / Adviser: Edward Ng. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 73-01, Section: A, page: . / Thesis (doctoral)--Chinese University of Hong Kong, 2010. / Includes bibliographical references (p. 290-296). / Electronic reproduction.

Limitation of building controls on the architectural design based on domestic and non-domestic use of buildings in Hong Kong

Guan, Rui, 关锐 January 2010 (has links)
Many contemporary building codes are written based on building occupancy classifications. However, with the abundance of multiplexes and highly efficient communication through advanced technology today, this principle of classification of buildings through specific use in building code-writing may cause problems in building controls. This is especially true when the trend of modern and future building occupancy is towards flexible, mixed, and transferable uses with non-distinction between working and habitation. In the highly dense urban environment and under current Hong Kong building regulation controls, all buildings are classified for domestic or non-domestic use, which imposes control barriers to any mixed-use, merged-use or adaptive re-functioned buildings. Furthermore, the local profit-oriented real estate market always pushes the architectural design of buildings to follow the control regulations tightly. Thus, innovations are limited and usually sacrificed for the maximization of development potential in terms of economy and quality only. This research investigates the relationship between building controls and the architectural design of buildings in Hong Kong, with a focus on the impact that building codes have imposed on the architectural design of buildings through its occupancy-based categorization of domestic or non-domestic use. It also aims to open a fresh look at the control of buildings in a high density environment. By reviewing the origin of building laws and basic principles of building code creation, the research takes a comprehensive study with focus on four building sub-control aspects: building density, building safety, building environmental health and building sustainable designs. Case-studies, literature reviews, interviews, surveys and data analysis, and correlation analysis are used. To explore the effect of categorization of buildings, relevant professional terms and their significance also are addressed and studied. Through various findings, this research uncovers the relationship between building controls and architectural design of buildings in Hong Kong. Results from sub-control aspects are concluded and compared. The key sub-control aspect of building density control and its control variables are identified, analyzed and re-evaluated. Comparative cases from international cities with similar environmental contexts are studied and applicable references are made. In brief, this research provides an original perspective and approach in the field of study of building controls that related to the architectural design of buildings. It also establishes a refreshing base to understand different practical design-control issues. Moreover, some progressive and holistic recommendations in future policy makings and code writings of building control are advised. / published_or_final_version / Architecture / Doctoral / Doctor of Philosophy

Architecture and domestic culture in eighteenth-century China

Mah, Kai Wood January 2003 (has links)
This thesis examines architectural discourse and spatial practices as manifestations and experiences of order in eighteenth-century Qing dynasty China. It reviews the development of the historiography of Chinese architectural history as an academic discipline, and proposes that in the Qing there was an unprecedented rupture between domestic architectural style from that of the court. An alternative design strategy in spatial planning and detailing was adopted. It is argued that the Qing architectural discourse, its intertextuality, was implicitly linked to the historical formation of the Qing self, and that it was pivotal to the rise of domestic culture. The study approaches architecture as historical statements and arguments, and focuses on the production of space, human agency, gender, and subject positioning in early modern China. The study analyzes the Yugong mansion, Beijing, the Rong mansion in the Qing novel The Dream of the Red Chamber, and the Manchu imperial city, as examples.
