Abstract:The South China Residential Research Team, centered at South China University of Technology, embarked on pioneering studies of Chinese vernacular residential architecture as early as the 1930s. Over the course of more than ninety years of continuous exploration, this team has advocated for the establishment of a discipline dedicated to residential architecture. It has cultivated diverse research directions, each characterized by its unique features, and assembled a stable research team. The team’s efforts have produced abundant research outcomes, exerting a wide-ranging academic influence. This article reviews the developmental trajectory of South China’s residential research, systematically outlining recent breakthroughs achieved by the interdisciplinary and multifaceted academic community. These breakthroughs span various research directions, including the relationship between dwellings and ethnic settlements, cultural routes associated with dwellings, cultural geography of dwellings, environmental landscapes surrounding dwellings, aesthetic culture in dwellings, restoration techniques for dwellings, applications of traditional knowledge in dwelling preservation, and digital mapping of dwellings. The aim is to provide valuable insights for further promoting and expanding the field of Chinese residential research.
