As the Tulou have not been classified as World Heritage Sites by UNESCO, they lack Conservation and reuse financial support, receive minimal attention and face structural deterioration. The purpose of this study is to Cultural heritage explore a methodological approach to assess the value of non-World Heritage Tulou (NWHT) and provide Evaluation system grounds for the reuse of Tulou accordingly. First, building-type, planar layout and other characteristics of Pinghe Tulou NWHTs in Pinghe are reviewed. Next, an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is applied to the value evaluation of Pinghe Tulou. Then, policy recommendations for reuse and redevelopment are put forward. The findings suggest that focusing on the reuse of Tulou alone is not justifiable. Rather, funding, public participation and the con- tinuity of community life are important factors relating to the reuse of NWHTs. 1.

  • Structural Responses and Finite Element Modeling of Hakka Tulou Rammed Earth Structures
    Structural Responses and Finite Element Modeling of Hakka Tulou Rammed Earth Structures Daniel Stanislawski Thesis submitted to the College of Engineering and Mineral Resources at West Virginia University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Civil Engineering Approved by Hota V. S. GangaRao, PhD, Chair Ruifeng Liang, PhD P V. Vijay, PhD Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering Morgantown, West Virginia 2011 Keywords: Rammed Earth, Hakka, Tulou, Field Testing, Finite Element Modeling, LEED Certification, Green Building ABSTRACT Structural Responses and Finite Element Modeling of Hakka Tulou Rammed Earth Structures Daniel Stanislawski Constructed Facilities Center, West Virginia University Hakka Tulous are rammed earth structures that have survived the effects of aging and natural elements upwards of even over a thousand years. These structures have housed the Hakka people of the Fujian Province, China in natural yet modern housing that has provided benefits over newer building materials. The key building material, rammed earth, which is used for the walls of the Hakka Tulou structures, has provided structural stability along with thermal comfort to the respective inhabitants of the Hakka Tulous. Through material testing and analysis this study has examined how the Tulou structures have maintained their structural stability while also providing thermal comfort. Reports of self healing cracks in the rammed earth walls were also analyzed for their validity in this study. The study has found that although the story of the self healing crack cannot be validated, there is reason to believe that with the existence of lime, some type of autogenous healing could occur on a small scale.

  • Heaven and Earth in Tulou Design
    International Workshop on Rammed Earth Materials and Sustainable Structures & Hakka Tulou Forum 2011: Structures of Sustainability at International Symposium on Innovation & Sustainability of Structures in Civil Engineering Xiamen University, China, 2011 HEAVEN AND EARTH IN TULOU DESIGN Keith D. Lowe, B.A. Harvard, Ph.D. Stanford Tsung Tsin Association of Ontario, Canada [email protected] Abstract: Because of significant missing links between ancient and modern Han culture, it is often very useful to look into areas of Hakka culture to understand how the ancient Chinese lived. This is abundantly true in the area of linguistics, and lately the area of architecture has yielded much evidence that modern Hakka culture of the south flows from the ancient stream of the north. The genius of the Hakka is best seen in the unique roundhouses of the mountainous borderland of three provinces – Guangdong, Fujian and Jiangxi. However, in completing the fourth of five migrations, the Hakka returned to the traditional building styles of the northern plains of China and built Wufenglou on the plains of southern Guangdong province. In this paper the author presents a story of evolution of Hakka dwellings revealing how the Tulou design has reflected Hakka culture rooted in the central plains of the Yellow River region. Keywords: Tulou, earth buildings, round houses, weilonglou, wufenglou 1 INTRODUCTION There are mainly three types of tulou or rammed-earth clan residences built by the Hakka, i.e. in the shape of a circle (yuanlou), of an oval (weilonglou), and of a square (wufenglou) (Figure 1). Figure 1: Three types of Tulou - round, oval, square The author utilizes this simplistic typology frankly to fit his huaquiao notions of Chinese/Hakka culture, and also to fit his personal history as a descendant of the Luo clan which built the Dunshang weilonglou and the Crane Lake wufenglou.

  • Form Function and Key Elements of Fujian Tulou ——A Case Study of Nanjing Tulou
    5th International Conference on Civil, Architectural and Hydraulic Engineering (ICCAHE 2016) Form function and key elements of Fujian Tulou ——A Case Study of Nanjing Tulou Xiaohui Zheng South China University of technology, Guangzhou,China KEYWORD: Architectural forms, functional layout, key elements ABSTRACT: Tulou, the earthen building, is the world cultural heritage. It is famous for its various shapes and structures. However, opinions are different about its concept and classification. Tulou in Najing of Fujian Province will be divided into three types in the thesis, that is, round, square and deviant forms, according to the study of architectural forms, functional layout and elements of the construction. INTRODUCTION Tulou, the earthen building, has been in the list of the world cultural heritage. However, people from different areas and academic fields didn’t reach an agreement on its concept, let alone media reports. Some regarded the buildings made of rammed-earth wall as Tulou; some insisted that Hakka earthen building was equal to Fujian Tulou, while some even believed that Tulou was con- structed by the Hakka people. However, none is the exactly right one. Professor Huang Hanmin pointed out that Tulou should be one of the categories of Fujian Tulou, referring to those storied houses distributed in the western and southern areas of Fujian province and the northeastern areas of Guangdong province, which are of the defensive functions owing to the rammed-earth wall and wooden beam column, and the living areas there are set along the periphery to accommodate large families. CLASSIFICATION AND FUNCTIONAL LAYOUT OF TULOU Tulou can be divided into round, square (including mansion-style) and deviant forms according to its floor plan, while it can be divided into unit-typed buildings, gallery apartment buildings and spe- cial forms.

  • Fujian Tulou – a Living Clans-Dwelling World Heritage Site
    Fujian tulou – a living clans-dwelling World Heritage Site (Source: Vernacular News: Tulou of China by John May, in The Generalist, dated 12 April, 2011 http://hqinfo.blogspot.com/2011/04/vernacular-news-tulou-of-china.html with other materials taken from Wikipedia and other internet sources) During a short trip to the Hakka region from 15 -18 November, 2011, I visited a remarkable living World Heritage Site, the Fujian “tulou”, or fortified rammed- earth-walled dwellings, of the early Hakka and Minan peoples of Fujian Province. Mistaken for missile silos According to AmoyMagic – Guide to Xiamen and Fujian by Sue Brown and Dr Bill, 1,500 of these tulou’s were spotted by a US KH22 spy satellite as possible missile silos. A Department of National Defense report reached the desk of President Ronald Reagan in 1985 and caused much alarm. The truth was revealed soon after a couple from the US New York Institute of Photography were dispatched to pay a site visit. Perhaps this serves to underline the importance of deeper understanding between the two increasingly rival superpowers. Now a World Heritage Site Six tulou clusters with a total of 46 tulou structures were inscribed in 2008 by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. Built in 1709, the largest amongst them is the Chengqilou 承啟樓, nicknamed "the king of tulou". Amongst the Gaobei Tulou Cluster 高北土樓群 at Gaotou village of Yongding County, it is a massive rotunda with four concentric rings surrounding an ancestral hall at the centre. The outer ring is 62.6 meters in diameter and four storeys tall.
