Nov.14,2007 I have not come here for a long time. In recent two month, I have been busy with read books and some thesis and dissertations about architecture. becuse I will have to complete my dissertation after one year.Although I have read many, I feel I have enough confidence to investgate the conditions of traditional dwellings in chosen region. Before I had never learned about the knowledge of architecture, and now I have to start learning from the basic knowledge. My research is the thermal, acoustic and illuminous environmentsof traditional houselocated in Northwest inChina. I have realized I will confront many difficulties during writing dissertation, but I have to finish it on time before I will proceed to the next work-----to work or to further my study for gain Ph.D. So I must work hard every minute. And I hope I will do it well.
