Abstract
Location: Kashgar, Sinkiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Key Geographical Concept: Architectural responses to regional climate and local landform. Due to the harsh regional climate and limited building materials, the architecture and urban network of alleyways are an ingenious adaptation, bringing together Islamic culture and Uygur family values and organic growth, as well as maintaining the transition space between the exterior and the interior.
