Research on Eco-Friendly and Low-Carbon Architecture Technology in Rural Areas
To promote and preserve China's traditional culture of rural architecture made from materials such as earth, bamboo, and wood, and to support the revitalization of rural areas, we have partnered with Kunming University of Science and Technology to conduct research on eco-friendly and low-carbon rural building technology. Our goal is to explore development models that are suitable for villages with relatively low economic levels by combining technology research and development, academic research, and practical projects.
