Properties of Sustainable Earth Construction Materials: A State-of-the-Art Review

As a significant symbol of human civilization advancement, earth construction not only inherits traditional architectural culture but also enjoys worldwide popularity and widespread usage throughout China due to its economic and environmentally friendly nature, as well as its moisture absorption and heat storage advantages. Consequently, earth construction has garnered considerable attention from international scholars. This paper compiles relevant data to review the developmental trajectory of earth construction, while conducting an in-depth analysis of the performance characteristics of earthen materials. Furthermore, it provides a comprehensive overview of the impact of three modification methods on the mechanical and durability properties of earthen materials, along with a discussion on the research concerning the thermal and moisture performance of these materials. Simultaneously, discussions were held on the relevant research findings and potential directions for the development of earthen materials. Finally, conclusions were drawn, suggesting a comprehensive utilization of their thermal and moisture performance, emphasizing the enhancement of their mechanical and durability performance. Additionally, attention was urged towards the economic and ecological aspects during the construction and maintenance phases of earth construction. These recommendations aim to facilitate the sustainable development and widespread application of earthen materials in the future.

Research and Analysis of Modern Consulate Complexes --Taking Yantai Hill in Fuzhou City as an Example

Since the First Opium War, foreign forces have flooded into China, building a great variety of public buildings across China, and importing Western culture. As one of the representatives of the recent Western culture, the consulate building plays an important role in history. As the political, economic, and cultural center of Fujian Province, Fujian was introduced to many Western cultures as one of the five port cities after the signing of the Treaty of Nanjing. Foreigners set up all kinds of buildings and municipal facilities here, such as consulate buildings, customs, foreign firms, churches, hospitals, workshops, clubs, etc. Western architectural techniques and forms have collided and fused with the traditional architectural culture of Fuzhou, together constituting a diverse modern architectural history of Fuzhou. Taking the modern consulate building complex in Yantai Mountain of Fuzhou City as an example, through field research and literature arrangement and induction, we analyze the buildings of modern consulates, understand the historical evolution of consulate buildings in Fuzhou, the architectural form and the existing situation, excavate their characteristics and summarize them, to provide basic information for the study of modern architectural history in Fuzhou. The article concluded that the Western consulate architecture is characterized by the central axis symmetry, the characteristics of each country are obvious, while retaining part of the local characteristics, to achieve the fusion of Chinese and foreign.

Qiao borrow "shape" potential —— Building renovation design based on traditional dwellings in northern Guangxi

The northern Guangxi region has beautiful scenery, and its special landform type and the cultural characteristics of multi-ethnic settlement give birth to the traditional architectural culture with distinct regional characteristics. The traditional dry dwellings in northern Guangxi take advantage of the landscape through the wooden pillars, so that the building is no longer restricted by the foundation of the house, and forms settlements between the complex landscape. Through the analysis of the structure vocabulary, the relationship between the building monomer and the mountain and the layout of the building settlement, this paper explores the out the path of integrating the abstract landscape environment view into the concrete architectural design, in order to enlighten the modern activation of the traditional residential buildings in northern Guangxi.

신화론으로 해석한 건축적 변화의 스토리텔링 문화관광

In this study, the values of storytelling to be applied to a culture tourism program were suggested by interpreting the Confucian ideology of Joseon and architectural changes in the later generations in terms of modern mythologies through Ahndong Bongjeongsa Temple. As the research method, Bongjeongsa Temple was examined from the aspect of Roland Barthes’s modern mythologies and discussed in three viewpoints found in the historical flow. The categories are the Confucian mythologic feature that shows the symbolism of how Bongjeongsa Temple was built through a human phoenix, the modern mythologic feature which dismantles the building to which Confucian supremacy was applied at the point of cultural assets restoration in 1960s, and the inherited mythological feature that the space of Manselu of Bongjeongsa Temple where Confucianism and Buddhism had been exchanged was applied to the construction of Seowons and to the elements of modern architecture later. The mythological values of storytelling culture tourism centered around Bongjeongsa Temple are as follows: First, Bongjeongsa Temple clearly reveals the semiotic meanings of ‘a phoenix’, ‘heavenly lamp’, ‘placenta of a king’ and etc. with its tale of establishment, and the analytic contents of the Buddhist tales implying a unified nation of those times should be reflected as the value of culture tourism storytelling. Second, the symbolized tradition in which a phoenix represents a king in the Bongjeongsa Temple foundation tale and the Confucian myth where Toegye is praised as a human phoenix need to be discussed as culture tourism contents that can be developed into an ideological value after being mixed with Buddhistic beliefs. Third, the dismantlement of ‘Wuhwalu’ and ‘Jinyeomun’ was the act of space restoration eliminating the complexity from the exchange between Buddhism and Confucianism, and needs to be recognized as the storytelling value to reflect on the modern mythological behavior exerted on Bongjeongsa Temple from which the historical trail had been erased. ‘Manselu’ of Bongjeongsa Temple is the space where monks and classical scholars interacted, and ‘Mandaelu’ of Byeongsanseowon, a Confucian building, has the common architectural element. It is the concept of ‘Nuhajinib’, shift of space and an entrance function, and ‘Lu malu’ to which nature was introduced with Chagyeong technique, and has been settled as the value of an inheritance factor of the traditional architectural culture today. Therefore, the archetetural elements related to the foundation tale of Bongjeongsa Temple can create the storytelling value with the implication of liberal arts that tourists can actually recognize with traditional architecture.

Since the establishment of the Han Dynasty by Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, the culture of the Han Dynasty has been popularized and has been passed down to this day. Most of the buildings in the Han Dynasty were architectural styles whose center was symmetrical on both sides of the axis, but in order to meet the needs of artistic beauty, a diversified architectural style was formed. Magnificent and gorgeous buildings are scattered all over the land, especially the majestic momentum of the palace buildings, which is unprecedented in scale. As a cultural landscape, the cultural architecture of the Han Dynasty is the witness of history and culture, the precipitation of Chinese civilization, and has far-reaching humanistic spiritual connotations. The wide range of spiritual and cultural radiation in the Han Dynasty and the deep influence on people's activities and behaviors are the core of the sense of national belonging, and its cultural belonging and identity are manifested in the special material of architecture.

Chinese traditional architecture not only reflects its own cultural deposits, but also reflects the historical essence of the Chinese nation in different periods. Through the analysis and research on the architectural characteristics and the continuation of historical context in Han Dynasty, it is not difficult to conclude that the continuation of urban architectural context is an important challenge faced by architectural design.
