In China’s Shaanxi Gansu Ningxia region, there is an ancient form of living called cave. Located in the Loess Plateau, people plant vegetation on the loess to prevent wind and
fix sand. The Chinese people creatively used the favorable terrain of the plateau to dig
holes and live, creating cave buildings known as green buildings.
The construction of cave vault conforms to the principle of mechanics. However, with
the passage of time, after several generations of people and wind and rain, the current cave presents some structural problems.
However, the cave is the product of the Loess Plateau and the symbol of the people in Northern Shaanxi. It has deposited the ancient deep culture of the loess land, which can not be easily abandoned, but retained as much as possible.
In this design, we take Sidi village cave group in Shanxi Province as an example for investigation and analysis.
