Abstract

The rapid economic development and urbanization in Pearl River Delta of China, have changed
the physical environment dramatically but also led to a crisis of the short life span of
contemporary housing. When the green building concept cannot help provide the appropriate
answer, many scholars turn to traditional buildings. Unlike in rural cases, traditional buildings in
urban area obviously exhibit diversity and long-term usage. However, most of current studies
focus on the preservation of historical features but do not analyze why and how such buildings
can last a such long time. Historical cases in both two areas might have a certain number of
common sustainable factors because they evolved from a similar prototype in history. For
a better understanding of their common features and why they have different performances,
theories closely related to the longevity and the “level” strategy will be introduced. These
theories aimed to increase the life span of buildings and pay more attention to the interrelation
between people and built environment in the temporal dimension. Within this framework,
several historical cases from the urban area and a traditional village will be compared and
studied by using the “level” division method, and abundant longevity evidence will be revealed
and analyzed. As part of a complex and consistent research aimed at constructing an evaluation
system, the results of this investigation will initially evaluate their long-lasting performances
qualitatively under the two different contexts.
