This is a research process for university architecture majors, and it doesn’t need to be so complicated in high school. . . . . .

Delete it a bit and focus on the historical evolution of the village and the characteristics of individual buildings.

Take Hongcun as an example (that world cultural heritage, Hongcun, Anhui)

1. The history of the village dates back hundreds of years, when there was a river. . . Live along the river.

Later, there was a flood and the river shifted southward, so we began to dig moon marshes and build waterways. Dig South Lake. There is clear water in front of every house (this is an analysis at the planning level. Hongcun's water system planning is very famous.)

2. The form of residential buildings is "four in one with five patios" (? I forgot, it's probably this. ) has an inner courtyard with high walls, which is warm in winter and cool in summer. (Architectural level)

3. House decoration: horse head wall (fire prevention, anti-theft); wood carving; brick carving (detailed design level)

4. Summary.

You can also pay attention to the patriarchal system, residents’ living habits, etc., such as changes in the use of water canals.
