Ecological Construction Strategy of Traditional Houses in Qianzhong Tunpu: A Case Study of Yunshan Tun

The Tunpu village in the Qianzhong region of Guizhou, China, was formed as a military or commercial settlement after the Ming Dynasty army migrated into the territory of Guizhou. This form of settlement is a relatively closed cultural legacy of the Ming dynasty, which was progressively influenced to form a distinctive Tunpu village with Han Chinese culture. Traditional Chinese villages and dwellings have evolved over a long period to produce ecological construction techniques and methods that are in harmony with the natural environment and are rich in ecological wisdom and rationale. Based on the disciplinary background of architecture, this paper will discusses the typical construction concepts and ecological techniques of traditional dwellings of traditional Tunpu in the Qianzhong region from three aspects: regional characteristics, construction concepts, and construction techniques, to explore the ecological methods and concepts involved and provide a theoretical basis for the conservation and renewal of traditional dwellings, while developing sustainable perspectives for green architecture.
