Diaolou Revitalization——Inheritance and Innovation of Kaiping Diaolou from the Perspective of Rural Revitalization

Kaiping Diaolou, over a century old, faces the risk of becoming uninhabited due to historical and societal changes. A recent study proposes that revitalizing these iconic structures through inheritance and innovation is crucial for rural revitalization. The research analyzes the architectural characteristics of Diaolou and identifies gaps in their village locations, offering a design practice approach to preserve and rejuvenate these cultural landmarks. This strategy not only ensures the survival of Diaolou culture but also contributes to the broader goal of sustainable rural development.
