Features: This book primarily focuses on architectural design, extending to related disciplines such as urban planning and landscape architecture, and explores issues related to small-town construction and architectural design. Small-town construction is a systematic project of socio-economic inheritance and development. Given its complexity and uniqueness, applying fixed solutions to such a multifaceted topic is neither possible nor meaningful. Therefore, the discussion emphasizes a macro-theoretical perspective, examining the interactive relationships between small-town construction and factors such as economics, society, technology, and ecology. It analyzes the essence of small-town construction and planning methods to seek appropriate approaches, supplemented by case studies. The book is divided into two parts. The first part discusses public buildings and public spaces in small towns, starting from the urban design concept of public buildings within public spaces, covering the definition of small-town public buildings, pre-project planning methods, and architectural design techniques for small towns. The second part focuses on small-town residential communities and housing design, addressing issues such as housing design in old towns and industrialization of housing, along with several exemplary residential architectural design cases.
