Concept

Methodology

1

Dynamic interactivity: Emphasizes the nonlinear dynamic relationship between ecological and cultural systems, focusing on the long-term interactions between architecture and the natural environment

Contextual analysis: Combines historical articles and field investigations to evaluate the dynamic roles and evolutionary trajectories of kiln architecture within ecological and cultural systems

2

Multidimensional adaptability: Proposes that architectural conservation should address both environmental adaptability and diverse social demands, avoiding single-dimensional design or management approaches

System modeling approach: Utilizes event-relationship coding to analyze overall development trajectories, revealing how environmental changes influence architectural functions and cultural values

3

Resilience and robustness: Enhances the redundancy and resilience of architecture to external disturbances by diversifying its functions and enriching its cultural value

Interdisciplinary integration: Merges methodologies from ecology, architecture, and sociology to comprehensively interpret the ecological adaptability and cultural significance of kiln architecture

4

Environmental embeddedness: Advocates for architectural preservation and development to be contextually integrated within natural and cultural settings, prioritizing the symbiotic relationship between buildings and their surrounding ecosystems

Digital conservation: Introduces digital monitoring tools, such as drone imagery and environmental sensors, to dynamically track the physical condition and ecological changes of kiln architecture

5

Cultural sustainability: Highlights the synergy between technological innovation and cultural heritage preservation, leveraging digital technologies to optimize the functionality and sustainability of traditional architecture

Participatory design: Encourages public engagement and stakeholder collaboration to develop conservation and development strategies that align with regional characteristics and community needs, fostering cultural heritage preservation and community growth
