Water means: hydrology and water vapor.
When water meets heat, it produces steam, and steam produces wind, so aquatic products produce wind.
The wind takes away heat, so the wind takes away water; So the wind came, the water came, and the wind gave birth to water.
Wind and water are very important in architecture.
The purpose of architecture is to isolate a livable environment from nature.
The miniature version of the building is people's clothes, and the enlarged version is the village, so the fundamental purpose of the building is to protect the body.
Another purpose of architecture is to protect material and cultural property (interests).
To isolate an environment suitable for one's own survival from nature, it is necessary to use wind and water, specifically:
In order to isolate the outside world, we must use walls;
After being isolated from the outside world, the air is sultry and requires the use of wind windows; Windows should face north and south to form a through airflow;
After being isolated from the outside world, it is very dark inside, so it is necessary to use transparent windows, or Liangzi, or Liangzi tiles, or patio;
If it is in the south, the foundation should be raised (or with wooden fence structure) to prevent water vapor from rising; At the same time, prevent the ground from being very cold, and the cold ground is easy to regain moisture in the rainy season;
If the house is to be waterproof, it is necessary to use tiles or cement boards;
In summer, the air is hot and the heat rises. If the top is closed, the accumulated hot air cannot rise, and people feel sultry, so the top will open, forming a chimney-like vertical wind;
Vertical wind comes in from doors and windows or tuyeres (some at the height of the skirting line) and dissipates from the top, taking away people's heat and hot air;
. . .
As can be seen from the above, the structure inside and outside the house is related to wind and water, and also to the medium transformed between wind and water-heat.
Living in such a nice house, do you feel calm, relaxed and happy and prolong your life?
