Characteristics of Elevated Buildings, Building Materials and Residential Buildings in Southeast Asia

Building materials are generally local common plants, such as bamboo and wood. Due to the principle of using local materials and the hot and humid local climate, brick and other houses are neither ventilated nor moisture-proof. Residential buildings are characterized by elevated buildings and diaojiao buildings, where people live upstairs and livestock are raised downstairs. When there is a flood in the rainy season, ships are used as transportation.

Include zhina Peninsula and Malay Archipelago. Indo-China Peninsula is named because it is located in the south of China, and the slender part in the south is called Malay Peninsula. The Malay archipelago is scattered in the vast sea area between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. It is the largest archipelago in the world, with more than 20,000 islands belonging to Indonesia, Malaysia, East Timor, Brunei and the Philippines.

Extended data:

The geographical position of Southeast Asia has special significance:

On the one hand, it is the lowest latitude area in Asia and the equatorial part of Asia;

On the other hand, it is in the transitional zone between Asia and Australia, which is obviously reflected in climate and biology; This area is also the intersection of the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. This geographical location makes the climate in Southeast Asia hot and humid, forming dense tropical forests, which is the fundamental difference between this region and other surrounding areas. Southeast Asia can be divided into two major units in tectonic topography.

First, the relatively stable Malay block in India.

The second is the new fold mountains with active crustal changes. There are two types of equatorial rainy climate and tropical monsoon climate, and the natural vegetation is mainly tropical rain forest and tropical monsoon forest, which can be divided into two subregions.
