A Preliminary Study on the New-Fujian-Style Residential Buildings:
Taking the New Era Rural Community in Yongchun County, Fujian Province as
an Example
Abstract:Rural house is not only a living space for villagers, but also a reflection of issues such as regional culture and
neighborhood relationships. In the past 20 years, with the changes in rural population and industry, new rural house
has undergone tremendous changes: layout of residential areas, excessive volume, and a style without regional
characteristics. One of the important topics in the field of rural construction in recent years is how to design and
construct new rural houses with regional characteristics while meeting the demands of villagers for a new life and with
controllable costs. This paper, based on the New Era Rural Community project in Yongchun County designed by the
author’s team, elaborates on the design exploration and thinking of the new-Fujian-style residential buildings from
multiple perspectives, such as guarantee mechanism, architectural style, spatial layout, public buildings, and landscape.
