- Abstract
The Khampa Tibetans are one of three Tibetan ethnic groups living in the areas of Tibet, Sichuan, Qinghai and Yunnan. Along with the tent, the blockhouse is another building system in the regions where they live. Among different types, the blockhouse using load bearing wood frameworks is representative. Based on field work and summarization of previous studies, we present the construction types, analyze the correlation in evolution between different types, and summarize the law of their regional distribution.
