Based on our fieldwork, we have found that almost all the features of traditional cliff cave dwelling coincide with modern sustainable design principles. These cave dwellings reflect a core concept of Chinese culture?being in harmony with nature. They are the result of a people's adaptation to their environment with limited natural and technological resources. The people and their culture survived here for hundreds of years without leaving heavy marks on the environment.
This study examines a type of traditional Chinese cave dwellings that can be seen as an example of the most elegant sustainable design solutions that have the least environmental impact.
While we are looking for new ways of building to ensure a bright future for our planet, we may draw inspirations from the past when people had more harmonious relationship with the environment.
