Abstract

The chosen base of QinMao Village is located at the top of QinLing Mountain. The climate there is quite cold. That is a poverty-stricken area with a low level of economic and cultural development, and it is lack of energy. Faced with the lashing of modern living style, the local traditional dwellings gradually lost their vitality and continuity, even disappeared. Therefore, inheriting and improving the civilian residences there becomes an argent issue recently. Under such a poverty-stricken situation, we established many living and manufacturing units in order to develop entertainment tour in farmhouse, ecological methane tank, economical crops cultivation and economical crops simple manufacture. Using eco-design theory, we try our best to improve the village's economic and cultural standard with an ecological way, and inherit and improve the traditional dwellings with regional ecological techniques.
