One of the keys to understand sustainable architecture is to construct the cultural identity of urban. The losing of urban characteristics is reflected both in the convergence of geography and the passage of cultural identity. This study follows the exploration of two research (Jones & VanPatter 2009; Pereno & Barbero 2020) in complex systems, aims to develop a participatory tool to help facilitate the process co-creation. We analyze the famous regional buildings in China to summarize the corresponding architectural characteristics, also take the reconstruction of Hougou ancient village in Shanxi Province for a pilot research. Urban elements are organized and proposed in a modular way, we aim to explore new methods to engage stakeholders in the activity, in response to sustainable urban needs in the future.
