Study of Traditional Tibetan Architectural Material and Security

Abstract

Yushu earthquake, Qinghai province seriously damaged the local Tibetan traditional buildings. With the local geographical characteristics and religious significance of the Tibetan traditional architecture, post-disaster reconstruction should inherit the local people's cultural tradition as well as create a positive, intimate space, so that the victims could re-feel the sense of their original homeland. Therefore, with the premise of respecting local customs and traditions, this paper argued that applying the advanced disaster-resistant construction techniques and materials performance into the design could improve the security, stability as well as highlighting the regional characteristics.
