Ethnic Architecture in the Three Parallel Rivers Region of Yunnan Province

云南三江并流地区的民族建筑

The lecture takes the Three Parallel Rivers region in Yunnan—China’s most typical multi-ethnic area—as an example to introduce the vernacular architecture of nine ethnic groups, including the Tibetan, Bai, Yi, Lisu and so on. Using an analytical framework of “prototype-element-construction method,” it conducts a comparative analysis of architecture across different ethnic groups based on data from 119 settlements. The analysis reveals a complex picture of “partially aligned, overall interwoven” between architectural types and ethnic territories. It shows that architecture can serve  both as a marker for specific ethnic cultural identity and as a medium for the exchange of techniques, knowledge, and ideas across ethnicities.

讲座以中国最典型的多民族聚居区——云南三江并流地区为例，介绍藏、白、彝、傈僳等9个群体的乡土建筑，并通过“原型-要素-做法”的分析框架，基于119个聚落的数据对不同民族之间的建筑进行了比较分析。分析发现，乡土建筑类型与民族边界之间“局部耦合、整体交织”的复杂图景，建筑既可以是特定民族文化认同的载体，也可以成为不同民族共享技术、知识、观念的交流媒介。
