| summary |
Siheyuan is a Chinese courtyard dwelling type in which the traditional culture is embedded. From the viewpoint of a spatially determinist understanding of culture, this study identifies the morphological characteristics of Siheyuan in a plan view constrained by Chinese culture. Based on the Visibility Graph Analysis (VGA) of the Siheyuan layouts, this study considers people’s visual perception in Siheyuan courtyards to classify the variants by using machine learning and computer vision techniques. According to the results of a clustering analysis of the feature vectors extracted from VGA maps, the spatial characteristics reflecting cultural connotation in Siheyuan design are captured. The findings could be used to support designing new Siheyuan-style dwellings and Siheyuan heritage preservation. |
