| Abstract |
This study explores the importance of the sense of order in the field of architecture, especially in the application within traditional Chinese courtyard houses, known as Siheyuan. By analyzing the spatial structure and design principles of Siheyuan, the research highlights the central role of the sense of order in creating spaces that are functional, aesthetically pleasing, and culturally significant. Based on the theories of E.H.Gombrich and Francis D.K.
Ching, the study reveals how the orderly arrangement of architectural elements, rational organization of space, and harmonious interaction with the environment can create living spaces that are both practical and beautiful. The analysis was conducted through on-site inspection and reference to documentary materials. The findings demonstrate that through principles such as axial symmetry, organic connection of structure and layout, reasonable proportions, hierarchical division of space, and functional layout, the design of Siheyuan not only showcases the wisdom of traditional architecture but also provides valuable insights for modern architectural design. This research encourages the integration of traditional design principles with modern technology to promote more harmonious and sustainable architectural practices, with the expectation that future developments will produce more innovative and practical design solutions to meet the demands of contemporary society. |
