A Comparative Study On The Timber Frame System Of Traditional Residence In Yunnan

The Timber Frame system of Traditional Residence in Yunnan manifests the spissated regional characteristics, which connotation means "the development based on the essence". These characteristics as the visiting card integrate the geographic regional environment all over Yunnan. The Timber Frame of Traditional Residence in Yunnan not only represents the wisdom and the building technology of local traditional building system, but also reflects the local traditional culture in Yunnan.Under the contemporary time-and-space background, town housing and rural housing in Yunnan was happened the inevitable structure, material and technological transformation, this thesis sets this concept as a starting point of study. By gathering, summaring and classified comparing the current existing documents, appling the field research method, typology, analyses the main types,historical evolution and the construct logic of the timber frame system of traditional residence in Yunnan. By comparing the trinal systems of framework, region and nationality, figuring the Resemblance of the traditional residence timber frame and the reasons for the diversity of variant; Selective analysing the representative timber frame in certain ragion and nation. Theremore, summarizing the Diversity and Multiplicity of the timber frame in Yunnan all localities and all ethnic groups, dissecting the construction conception of traditional residence timber frame.Based all of this, this thesis probes the relationship between the timber frame of traditional residence in Yunnan and the factors which concluding the natural environment, social culture, the economic and technological, explores the identity, continuity, otherness existing in the diverse timber frame systems, indicates local pattern language of the traditional residence timber frame. With the purpose of, on the one hand, intensifing the comprehension of the traditional residence timber frame system, on the other hand, affording lessons and inspiration for "new dwelling" and "Neo-regionalism", and then promoting the preservation of traditional residence, forming the continuation of the regional architecture genetic factors and traditional residence construction language.The differentiated procedure of the traditional residence timber frame in Yunnan is a generative way from Archetype to Variant. According to the structure and space characteristic, classifying the timber frame systems including Stilt-frame style, Well-frame style, Intensive-beams flat roof style, and Courtyard-dwelling of Han nationality timber frame style; trying to deliberate the identity and the Otherness; Appling the principle of topological changes, search for the derived relationship of continuity under the time and space dimensions.Eventually, the thesis concluding the traditional residence construction activity of location, orientation, timing, material and scale. So as to play a role in the process of inherited and preservation of local-technique. In order to provide reference in the maintenance of multiple value of Yunnan traditional residence and in the Theoretical research of contemporary regional architecture design.
