A Structural Analysing Model of Sichuan Vernacular Dwelling

Article Preview

Abstract:

The overall purpose of this paper is to set up a new research model for Sichuan Courtyard Dwellings by space syntax tool. Through analysing the basic concepts of space syntax theory, the paper creatively uses activity space other than functional space as a media to shape a new framework. It will comprehensively be merged with other research methods such as everyday life activity and cultural contexts.
