This has led to great diversification in Chinese vernacular dwellings, rarely seen in the architecture of the world and reflecting a wide variety of different natural and cultural environments. In this illustrated introduction Shan Deqi explores a representative selection of traditional Chinese dwellings, considering their architecture, environmental setting and the lifestyles and customs of the people who inhabit these distinctive homes and have contributed to their development. 0aArchitecture DomesticzChina 0aVernacular architecturezChina 0aDwellingszChina 0aHousingzChina2 aZhongguo mi ju.10aShan Deqi
