Two main types of residential architecture have dominated the architecture in the Fujian region in China. They, known as tulou and weiwu, have been developed in parallel. Both for communal living, but distinct from each other in terms of setting, layout, form and size. A good deal is known about tulou which has been inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage in 2008, but existing scholarship on weiwu is lacking. This is a case study about a weiwu at Dafuzhen in central Fujian for two reasons: its architectural and planning sophistication and its commoners status. The weiwu is the Family Xiao's estate built during 1870-85. Our tasks are: first, to survey in situ each building part of the complex on the current situation with attention to details; second, to portray what are hidden from view with masterly "x-ray" eyes; third, to convey the information in measured drawings at technological and design levels. Our work is graphic and analytical in nature, ranged within a series of research questions: What was the planning made to suit the hillside setting? What was the architectural arrangement made to accommodate the community living? To what extent do water supply and drainage design serve as a planning strategy? This study regards that water management is a key issue which was not a topic of great interest in traditional scholarship. This book offers students and professionals with an expert introduction to vernacular of what has been termed the essence of architecture, with the Dafuzhen weiwu as a case. The work focuses on issues of both architecture and planning with attention to details. The book describes characters and structures, discusses functions and rationales, and investigates methods and techniques at design and construction levels. It is is a masterly survey, graphically and analytically, to achieve a comprehensive presentation of the subject.

LiDAR Principles, Processing and Applications in Forest Ecology introduces the principles of LiDAR technology and explains how to collect and process LiDAR data from different platforms based on real-world experience. The book provides state-of the-art algorithms on how to extract forest parameters from LiDAR and explains how to use them in forest ecology. It gives an interdisciplinary view, from the perspective of remote sensing and forest ecology. Because LiDAR is still rapidly developing, researchers must use programming languages to understand and process LiDAR data instead of established software. In response, this book provides Python code examples and sample data. Sections give a brief history and introduce the principles of LiDAR, as well as three commonly seen LiDAR platforms. The book lays out step-by-step coverage of LiDAR data processing and forest structure parameter extraction, complete with Python examples. Given the increasing usefulness of LiDAR in forest ecology, this volume represents an important resource for researchers, students and forest managers to better understand LiDAR technology and its use in forest ecology across the world. The title contains over 15 years of research, as well as contributions from scientists across the world. Presents LiDAR applications for forest ecology based in real-world experience Lays out the principles of LiDAR technology in forest ecology in a systematic and clear way Provides readers with state-of the-art algorithms on how to extract forest parameters from LiDAR Offers Python code examples and sample data to assist researchers in understanding and processing LiDAR data Contains over 15 years of research on LiDAR in forest ecology and contributions from scientists working in this field across the world.
