Influence of European Architecture on Chinese Vernacular Dwellings

The design forms and methods of Chinese vernacular dwellings have been influenced by European architecture introduced to China since the nineteenth century. In the respect of design forms, Chinese vernacular dwellings borrowed the elements of European architecture and created ＂verandah style＂, ＂arcade style＂ and ＂courtyard-cascading style＂, etc. As for the design methods, Chinese vernacular dwellings also assimilated European architectural notions and formed such ways as open design, diversified design and expressionistic design, etc.
