Features: This book is based on the concepts of sustainable development and ecological architecture. It explores how buildings can dynamically adapt to climate changes, starting from the architectural adaptability to China's specific continental climate. Building on an analysis of the adverse effects of the continental climate on China's ecological architecture, the author proposes and constructs the theory of adaptive architecture and its design strategies, which hold practical significance and will have a far-reaching impact on the healthy development of urban and rural construction in China. The book is grounded in the human living environment of sustainable development and the concept of ecological architecture, examining how buildings can dynamically adapt to climate changes based on the architectural adaptability to China's specific continental climate. Based on an analysis of the characteristics of China's continental climate and its adverse effects on ecological architecture, the author proposes the concept of adaptive architecture and constructs its corresponding theoretical framework, technical approach, and design strategies. China is the most typical continental climate region in the world, with cold winters and hot summers, and significant climate variations. Therefore, the content of this book is highly targeted and holds both practical and long-term significance. The book closely integrates theory and practice, providing important references for students of civil engineering and architecture and design professionals in the field of ecological architecture theory and engineering practice.
