SUMMARY:From Asylums to Housing: A Vernacular Architectural Adaptation in S
 outheastern China
DESCRIPTION:\n	Zheng Jing (Associate Professor\, Department of Architecture
 \, Wuhan University\; HYI Visiting Scholar 2018-19)\n	Chair/discussant: Mi
 chael Szonyi (Frank Wen-Hsiung Wu Memorial Professor of Chinese History\, 
 Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations\, Harvard University)
 \n\n	Co-sponsored by the Fairbank Center for Chinese Studies\n\n\n	During 
 the turbulent period of rebellions or dynasty transitions\, rural militari
 zed communities constructed numerous fortresses for self-defense across Ch
 ina. Most of these structures were only occupied as temporary asylums and 
 were abandoned after. In southeast China\, however\, an architecture type 
 called Tulou developed into a dominant housing tradition that lasted for c
 enturies. Tulou\, literally “earthen building\,” refers to large-scale
  enclosed multi-story buildings\, usually with rectangular or circular flo
 or plans. Interestingly\, unlike other traditions that were suppressed dur
 ing the People’s Commune Period\, Tulou reached its construction peak. T
 his talk will trace the evolvement of Tulou as a vernacular architectural 
 tradition and explores how militarization merged into community life throu
 gh architecture.
