SW China lies in the south of Asia continent, is the hinge to combine the hinterland of Asia continent, Indian-Pakistani subcontinent and SE Asia. It is an area that herds culture, wheat corn millet culture, and rice culture extended, conflicted and mixed, while at the same time it has diverse ecological environment which different culture types can survival together. Culture boundaries, geographical environment, human, religions and culture corridors are the key issues in the first chapter.According to different geographical space, climate, produce way and culture development etc., SW China could be divided into farming culture relying mainly on "Bashu area", fishing and hunting as well as farming culture relying mainly on "Yunnan & Guizhou area" and, nomadic culture relying mainly on "plateau of the northwest Yunnan & west Sichuan".Through surveying and combing with related documents in a large amount, it is concluded that there are three kinds of main building species in the SW China which are "Qionglong", "Ganlan "and "Heyuan". Their culture background, characteristics, subspecies differences are deep discussed. "Qionglong" building is the main housing style of three nationalities of Tibet, Qiang, and Yi who are living on the plateau of the west of Sichuan and northwest of Yunnan. Because of close national source and course, mode of production as well as living habit, they share close habitat style. "Ganlan" is one kind of typical culture phenomenon in South China. Items such as "Rice & Ganlan", "Distribution and Classify", "Pattern & Characteristic" etc. are explored. Surveys on "Communities of Ganlan in the southeast Guizhou Province and north Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region" are studied deeply. Words on "Heyuan" are focus on its logic relationship on the designing of exterior space. Besides research on building itself, also emphasizes the comparative research among the phenomena in the dissertation. It is a basic principle that thesis follows to study the emergence, developing, developed and interactive of building species by the viewpoint of "culture ecology".In order to sketch the contours of regional architecture culture of SW China more clearly, explains and describes the building types and phenomena with unique characteristics. They are helpful to understand the interior quality of southwestregion culture in deep, which involves "Patterns and Characters of Settlements", "Immigrant and Association hall", "Stone inscription & Precipice building" as well as "Mountain region & Traffic" etc.Chapter five is a discussion about "regional technology and modernization". Renewal & promotion of traditional building technology is appealed. Reviews of "Ideas with ecological care", "Building technology modes" and researches that buildings technology respond to the climate finished by Hassan Fathy, Charles Korea, and Ralph Erskine under complete different weathers are taken. In the article, the acclimating building modes behind the form of Qionglong, Ganlan, Heyuan are deep analysis and refined. And at the same time from different aspects expounds the possibility of regional technology towards modernization.
