RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: Rural construction projects must firstly resolve neighborhood relationships as the boundaries of the walls of most centuries-old houses are blurred. Many years ago, as the walls of the old houses were not built in parallel, and the roof wooden structures were also irregularly constructed. During the renovation, it was necessary to temporarily modify the drawings and practices on site to meet the site conditions. What’s more, gray tile on the roof is built in wood structure and the local original building walls need to be repaired as before with protective design and construction.
