The relationship between traditional dwellings and the environment

The relationship between residential and local life needs

Previously lived in the grasslands of less Inner Mongolia to a number of ethnic groups living a nomadic life, traditionally Mongolian herdsmen living by water and grass, the annual migration of four times, there is a "spring puddle, summer Gang, autumn flat, Dongyang," said that the construction of the building needs to pay attention to the cold and heat insulation, but also to consider the lightweight, easy to install, easy to remove and other needs, the formation of yurts like tent-style housing. Considering the lightweight, easy to install, easy to dismantle and other needs, the formation of yurts like tent-style housing. The yurt is a typical tent-style residence in Inner Mongolia, and is most commonly seen in felt bags. Because of the needs of nomadic life, it is easy to dismantle and migrate to the felt yurt as a residence. The walls and roofs of these conical movable houses are made of thick wool felt. In summer, it can reduce the strong irradiation of sunlight, and in winter, it can avoid the wind and keep warm. In addition, the roof is also made like a window that can be opened and closed during the day, pull open, so that the sunlight into the room, increasing the temperature of the room, while discharging smoke and exhaust fumes, the night will be covered with a bag top, burning milk tea, cooking heat to stay in the house, so that the house is very warm.

In recent years, there have been new developments in the structure and materials of yurts. In some areas, there are yurts with steel frame structure, and windows are added in front and back of the yurts to make the light and ventilation performance better. The old Mongolian architectural art has been revitalized with new youth. With the development of productive forces and social progress, human beings have created and developed the connotation of "living" in the long term practice and obtained more and more comfortable living environment. Architecture is not written history, all kinds of residential accumulation of deep traditional culture, but also reflects the relationship with the environment, I believe that the future of residential and environmental development can be more harmonious.
