Abstract
This experimental project aims to cope with the key challenges arising in the rural revitalization in Southwest China – meeting the local needs for a better living environment on one hand, and preserving the traditional building typology of Yi ethnic group and rural landscape on the other. This research-by-design project used contemporary construction techniques (e.g. 3D printing, prefabrication, earthquake-resistant rammed earth walls, etc.) to explore alternative design-build approaches for vernacular architecture in Leju Village, Kunming, Yunan Province. The multi-disciplinary design team consists of academic and researchers from Kunming University of Science and Technology and XJTLU, and technical experts from Nanjing KENYO Building Technology Co. Ltd. and Arup (Hong Kong). The research output won the ‘Gold Prize in Design Research (Paper)’ in the 18th Anniversary Asian Design Award & Asia Architecture and Urbanism Alliance, 2020.
