Research on Zhe-Style Dwelling Houses from the Perspective of Architecture Culture—Taking the Traditional Village in Xianju County as an Example

Rural architecture serves as a significant carrier in the revitalization of rural culture, together with the local natural scenery and customs, forming the distinctive rural landscape. This paper explores and extracts nine distinctive cultural elements of Zhe-style dwelling houses, including house layout, facade composition, gable form, street scale, wind and rain corridors, roof design, building materials, overall color scheme, and decorative carvings, through the identification of landscape genes using four modes, Based on this, an exploration of Zhe-style vernacular dwelling construction in Wengsen Street, Shuangmiao Township, Xianju County, in the Zhejiang central region is conducted, leading to the discovery of a new traditionalist design approach that combines theoretical application and Zhe-style culture practices. In addition, by promoting the integration of Zhe-style residential buildings with the natural environment, it is beneficial to reduce environmental damage and improve the adaptability and sustainability of residential buildings.
