To address the insufficient integration of performance evaluation and contextual analysis in traditional architectural design, this paper proposes a design workflow that combines data-driven and performance-driven approaches, establishing a comprehensive operational pathway from typology selection and design generation to performance assessment. Using Yanshen Ancient Town, a cold region, as the study area, the research evaluates 18 traditional courtyard types and 8 brick kiln courtyard types. Benchmark models are selected based on the combined performance of PET (Physiological Equivalent Temperature) and MRT (Mean Radiant Temperature) indices. Subsequently, multiple performance indicators, including indoor and outdoor thermal comfort, indoor illuminance, and building energy consumption, are integrated into the analysis. Using a genetic algorithm, Pareto optimal solutions that meet performance requirements are iteratively optimized and filtered. Based on the learning rates and various evaluation indicators, XGBoost is ultimately selected to classify and predict the overall building performance. Results indicate that the model achieves an average prediction accuracy of 83.6%. Additionally, SHAP analysis of the independent variables in the algorithm reveals distinct influencing trends under different performance labels. The workflow demonstrates the feasibility of incorporating performance prediction in the early design stage of village courtyards, significantly enhancing the efficiency of feedback and follow-up between design decision-making and performance evaluation.

针对传统建筑设计中性能评估与情境分析结合不足的问题，本文提出了数据驱动与性能驱动相结合的设计工作流程，建立了从类型选择、设计生成到性能评估的综合操作路径。以寒区燕深古镇为研究区，对18种传统院落类型和8种砖窑院落类型进行了评价。基于PET （Physiological Equivalent Temperature，生理等效温度）和MRT （Mean Radiant Temperature，平均辐射温度）指标的综合性能选择基准模型。随后，将室内外热舒适、室内照度、建筑能耗等多个性能指标纳入分析。利用遗传算法对满足性能要求的Pareto最优解进行迭代优化和过滤。基于学习率和各种评价指标，最终选择XGBoost对建筑整体性能进行分类和预测。结果表明，该模型的平均预测精度为83.6%。此外，通过对算法中自变量的SHAP分析，揭示了不同业绩标签下的影响趋势。该工作流程验证了将性能预测纳入村寨庭院设计早期阶段的可行性，显著提高了设计决策与性能评估之间的反馈与跟踪效率。

This study aims to construct a new method for collecting colours from Guangzhou historical buildings using the Natural Color Sytem (NCS) colour system for on-site comparison. It seeks to detect and classify the primary and secondary colours of the buildings through image attributes, and to analyse the group co-occurrence and clustering algorithm characteristics of the colours of the historical buildings, as well as the colour hierarchy based on the image clustering algorithm. The study further evaluates the colour ratings of the historical buildings through questionnaire validation, explores the relationship between colour attributes (hue, lightness, and chroma), and classifies the colour evaluation criteria into five tiers. It was found that the symbiotic clustering diagrams of the colours of the historic buildings in Guangzhou exhibited distinct colour rating relationships, with the clustering colour hierarchy showing a high correlation with the results of the colour ratings assessed by questionnaire validation. A close relationship between the computer-generated output and the perceptual judgement is demonstrated, further proving the reliability and accuracy of the computer model. The results of the study provide comparable data and practical tools for colour planning and management of urban historic building facades.

本研究旨在构建一种利用自然色彩系统（NCS）进行现场对比的广州历史建筑色彩采集新方法。通过图像属性对建筑的原色和副色进行检测和分类，分析历史建筑颜色的群共现和聚类算法特征，以及基于图像聚类算法的色彩层次。本研究通过问卷验证进一步评价历史建筑的色彩等级，探讨色彩属性（色调、明度、色度）之间的关系，并将色彩评价标准分为五个层次。结果表明，广州市历史建筑颜色共生聚类图表现出明显的颜色等级关系，聚类颜色层次与问卷验证的颜色等级结果具有较高的相关性。证明了计算机生成的输出与感知判断之间的密切关系，进一步证明了计算机模型的可靠性和准确性。研究结果为城市历史建筑立面的色彩规划和管理提供了可比较的数据和实用的工具。

Temporary housing is one of the most important elements in disaster recovery and reconstruction activities in emergency situations. This study predicts that post-disaster housing and social life needs can be improved through user satisfaction analyses and underlines that user experiences can guide the achievement of better design solutions in temporary housing. In this context, the case study is based on an evaluation of the changes and/or transformations that took place as a result of the Lagoon Hobby Houses campus, built in the Kahramanmaraş Expo area, being opened to the use of disaster victims as temporary housing after the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquake. The findings suggest that improvements can be made in evidence- and experience-based design and post-disaster temporary housing design criteria by creating reserve areas for residences, designing common areas that encourage socialization and interaction, and providing access to green areas to overcome post-earthquake traumas more easily.

临时住房是紧急情况下灾害恢复和重建活动中最重要的因素之一。本研究预测灾后住房和社会生活需求可以通过用户满意度分析得到改善，并强调用户体验可以指导实现更好的临时住房设计解决方案。在这种情况下，案例研究是基于对kahramanmaraki世博会区域内的Lagoon Hobby Houses校园所发生的变化和/或转变的评估，该校园在2023年kahramanmaraki地震后开放给灾民作为临时住房。研究结果表明，基于证据和经验的设计以及灾后临时住房设计标准可以通过创建住宅保留区、设计鼓励社交和互动的公共区域以及提供通往绿地的通道来更容易地克服地震后的创伤。

Rapid urbanization in China presents complex challenges for urban development, particularly in older neighborhoods. The rise of digital cities and the shift from expansion to optimizing existing urban areas have highlighted significant issues related to infrastructure, regeneration, and the preservation of local characteristics. These challenges hinder sustainable urban development and negatively impact residents' quality of life, making the transition to smart cities imperative. This study uses Suzhou's old neighborhoods as a case study, employing big data and Geographic Information System (GIS) software to conduct a comprehensive quantitative assessment. Techniques such as kernel density and accessibility analysis reveal key issues in infrastructure, sustainability, and local characteristics, providing a data foundation for targeted strategies. Based on these findings, the paper proposes micro-renovation strategies aimed at enhancing community functionality and improving residents' quality of life through refined management. The study underscores that, under the “ecological + digital” sustainable development framework, renewing old neighborhoods can address existing challenges while revitalizing cities towards smarter, greener, and more livable futures.

中国的快速城市化给城市发展带来了复杂的挑战，尤其是在老社区。数字城市的兴起以及从扩张到优化现有城市区域的转变凸显了与基础设施、再生和地方特色保护相关的重大问题。这些挑战阻碍了城市的可持续发展，并对居民的生活质量产生了负面影响，因此向智慧城市过渡势在必行。本研究以苏州老旧街区为研究案例，运用大数据和地理信息系统（GIS）软件进行全面的定量评估。核密度和可达性分析等技术揭示了基础设施、可持续性和地方特征方面的关键问题，为有针对性的战略提供了数据基础。在此基础上，本文提出了通过精细化管理，增强社区功能，提高居民生活质量的微改造策略。该研究强调，在“生态+数字”可持续发展框架下，更新老社区可以解决现有挑战，同时振兴城市，走向更智能、更绿色、更宜居的未来。

A universal set of mathematical qualities combine complexity with geometry to define “living geometry”. Those properties apply equally to organisms as to inanimate matter. A special type of geometry that merges approximate fractal structure with nested symmetries on all scales describes most biological and natural forms. Christopher Alexander discovered 15 geometrical properties in the context of architecture adapted to human feelings, and those provide a practical toolkit for creating living geometry in artifacts, buildings, and urban spaces. AI can be used to both validate the importance of living geometry for human health, and to evaluate architectural designs before and after they are built. Human beings evolved their neurological system to interpret living geometry defined by the ancestral natural environment, and the same interpretative reference is used to navigate today's built environment. This knowledge helps to understand how geometry affects cognition, emotions, and health. Asking large-language models about the best learning environments for creative thought produces a list of suggestions for renovating lecture and studio spaces in architecture schools. A severe disconnect between the contemporary urban experience and living geometry has negative effects on human health, intelligence, and the learning process. AI helps to completely rethink design aesthetics and design-making strategies.

一套通用的数学特性将复杂性与几何结合在一起，定义了“活几何”。这些特性既适用于无生命的物质，也同样适用于有机体。一种特殊的几何类型，将近似分形结构与所有尺度上的嵌套对称结合在一起，描述了大多数生物和自然形式。Christopher Alexander在建筑的背景下发现了15种适合人类感受的几何属性，这些属性为在人工制品、建筑和城市空间中创造生动的几何形状提供了实用的工具包。人工智能既可以用来验证生活几何对人类健康的重要性，也可以用来评估建筑设计建成前后的情况。人类进化了他们的神经系统来解释祖先自然环境所定义的生活几何，同样的解释参考被用来导航今天的建筑环境。这些知识有助于理解几何如何影响认知、情感和健康。向大型语言模型询问关于创造性思维的最佳学习环境的问题，可以为建筑学校的讲座和工作室空间的翻新提供一系列建议。当代城市体验与生活几何之间的严重脱节对人类健康、智力和学习过程产生了负面影响。人工智能有助于彻底重新思考设计美学和设计制作策略。

This study investigates the merits of the cross-disciplinary appropriation of the theory of autopoiesis in Patrik Schumacher's The Autopoiesis of Architecture. In this two-volume work, Schumacher builds upon Luhmann's sociological adoption of Maturana et al.’s biological theory of autopoiesis. This lineage of repeated appropriation raises questions about the merits of the cross-disciplinary appropriations of natural-scientific theory in architecture in general and the appropriation of autopoiesis in architectural theory in particular. Specifically, what are the merits of Schumacher's appropriation of the theory of autopoiesis? In this article, we develop and apply a text analysis method drawing on discourse analysis, close reading, visual interpretation, and “inference to the best explanation” to analyse a set of three pertinent samples from The Autopoiesis of Architecture. Our analysis, using previously established categorisations of language use and merits of theory appropriation, shows that Schumacher employs various modes of language use in The Autopoiesis of Architecture to reference both prior instances of autopoiesis. These ambiguities serve to achieve merits that, in many cases, seem to benefit the author rather than his readers.

本研究探讨了帕特里克·舒马赫的《建筑的自创生》中自创生理论的跨学科挪用的优点。在这两卷的工作，舒马赫建立在鲁曼的社会学采用Maturana等人的自创生的生物学理论。这种反复挪用的谱系提出了关于自然科学理论在建筑中的跨学科挪用的优点的问题，特别是在建筑理论中的自创生挪用。具体来说，舒马赫挪用自创生理论的优点是什么？在本文中，我们开发并应用了一种基于话语分析、细读、视觉解读和“最佳解释推理”的文本分析方法来分析《建筑自创生》中的三组相关样本。我们的分析使用了先前建立的语言使用分类和理论运用的优点，表明舒马赫在《建筑自创生》中使用了各种语言使用模式来参考之前的自创生实例。在许多情况下，这些模棱两可的观点似乎有利于作者而不是读者。

The increasing impacts of human activities on sustainable development have promoted the use of spatial planning as an essential policy tool to governing human activities patterns. However, the effect of spatial planning on such patterns remains insufficiently unexplored. In this study, we used Point of Interest (POI) data and spatial statistical methods to analyze the spatial patterns of human activities in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) Urban Agglomeration in China between 2018 and 2022, and then evaluated the conformance between these patterns with the planned spatial patterns outlined in the YRD Urban Agglomeration Development Plan. The results show that while the development plan is effective on promoting spatial integration of human activities, it has not fully achieved the intended patterns. Shanghai's prominence as a business center has strengthened over time, though its population and industrial centers have eroded. The Su-Xi-Chang metropolitan area illustrated a high level of spatial integration and has emerged as a key industrial function zone. However, many peripheral cities, including those in Anhui Province, northern Jiangsu Province, and southern Zhejiang Province, remain poorly integrated into the YRD Urban Agglomeration. To conclude, we recommend wider application of social sensing data on plan evaluation and highlight a diverse set of collaborative strategies to strengthen spatial integration between central and neighboring cities, as well as between metropolitan areas within the agglomeration.

人类活动对可持续发展的影响越来越大，促使人们将空间规划作为管理人类活动模式的基本政策工具。然而，空间规划对这种模式的影响仍然没有得到充分的探索。本文采用兴趣点（POI）数据和空间统计方法，分析了2018 - 2022年中国长三角城市群人类活动的空间格局，并对这些格局与《长三角城市群发展规划》规划空间格局的一致性进行了评价。结果表明：发展规划在促进人类活动的空间整合方面是有效的，但并没有完全达到预期的格局。随着时间的推移，上海作为商业中心的地位得到了加强，尽管它的人口和工业中心已经受到侵蚀。苏西昌都市圈空间一体化程度高，已成为重要的产业功能区。然而，许多外围城市，包括安徽、江苏北部和浙江南部的城市，与长三角城市群的融合程度仍然很低。最后，我们建议在规划评估中更广泛地应用社会感知数据，并强调了一套多样化的协作策略，以加强中心城市与周边城市之间以及城市群内部大都市之间的空间整合。

As the earliest geographical unit of human activities, river basins have nurtured civilizations with distinct local characteristics. The "human-water relationship" is a key aspect of "human-environment interaction," driving the evolution of urban and rural systems through human adaptation to water. Using Yichang as a case, this paper analyzes population and land use changes to explore the evolution of its "mountain-water-city" spatial pattern. Yichang grows incrementally along the river, forming a compact multi-cluster layout. At the same time, influenced by the significant and special event of the Three Gorges Project construction, the city has undergone rapid "leapfrog" development. Amid population mobility and river basin management needs, Yichang should use its "water" feature to integrate function, scale, and structure, focusing on water protection and utilization to ensure national and energy security. Secondly, amidst the general trend of declining total population and slowing growth, it is necessary to reasonably guide the aggregation and distribution of population within urban spaces based on the resource carrying capacity of each river basin. Finally, Yichang should break linear development inertia, focus on dual city centers, and redirect leading industries from rivers/roads to the eastern industrial city.

流域是人类活动最早的地理单元，孕育了具有鲜明地方特色的文明。“人-水关系”是“人-环境相互作用”的一个关键方面，通过人类对水的适应推动城市和农村系统的演变。本文以宜昌市为例，通过对人口和土地利用变化的分析，探讨宜昌市“山水城”空间格局的演变。宜昌沿江渐进式发展，形成紧凑的多集群布局。同时，受三峡工程建设重大而特殊事件的影响，城市经历了快速的“跨越式”发展。宜昌应结合人口流动和流域管理需要，以“水”为特色，实现功能、规模、结构一体化，重点保护和利用水资源，保障国家和能源安全。其次，在人口总量下降、增长放缓的大趋势下，需要根据各流域的资源承载能力，合理引导人口在城市空间内的聚集和分布。最后，宜昌应打破线性发展惯性，聚焦双中心城市，将主导产业从河流/道路向东部工业城市转移。

Experts question why cities, which are supposedly built for citizens, fail to address their social needs. Everyday life is challenging in our cities, especially because public spaces have generally been arranged and designed by considering the physical environment and without consideration for how these spaces should facilitate human interactions. This paper identifies “in-between spaces” as key scenarios for addressing this issue. These spaces offer the opportunity to feel comfortable and safe, foster a sense of community, and facilitate connections.

Little has been written about these spaces and, particularly, their characteristics. Therefore, the objective of this study is to provide a more in-depth understanding of in-between spaces by examining literature on such spaces throughout city history.

The results underscore the threshold character as the primary feature of in-between spaces and define various types of in-between spaces depending on their position within the gradient between public and private domains. The analysis also identified recurring characteristics, such as presence of reproductive labor, vegetation, or amenities, tendency to be programmed or unprogrammed within interior or exterior spaces and establishes relationships between these characteristics. Furthermore, the results suggest that the values promoted by these spaces and their recurring features can offer solutions to regenerate cities.

专家质疑，为什么城市应该是为市民而建的，却不能满足他们的社会需求。在我们的城市中，日常生活充满了挑战，特别是因为公共空间的安排和设计通常考虑了物理环境，而没有考虑这些空间应该如何促进人类的互动。本文将“中间空间”确定为解决此问题的关键场景。这些空间提供了舒适和安全的机会，培养了社区意识，并促进了联系。很少有人写过这些空间，尤其是它们的特征。因此，本研究的目的是通过考察城市历史上有关中间空间的文献，对中间空间进行更深入的了解。结果强调了阈值特征作为中间空间的主要特征，并根据它们在公共和私有领域之间的梯度中的位置定义了各种类型的中间空间。分析还确定了重复出现的特征，如生殖劳动、植被或设施的存在，在内部或外部空间中被编程或未编程的趋势，并建立了这些特征之间的关系。此外，研究结果表明，这些空间所促进的价值及其反复出现的特征可以为城市再生提供解决方案。

This paper innovatively adopts an interdisciplinary method, which is urban design, combined with social investigation, statistical analysis, and case analysis. In this study, 1350 residents in 45 blocks of Lansing were selected as samples to investigate the related issues of social capital, which include safety, contact with others, and sense of support for people living in certain areas. There are two ways to measure the distance from the center of the community to the nearest green space. One is the straight distance, while the other is path distance. Through statistical analysis, the path distance of less than 250 m is also added into the variables. The results overturned the hypotheses and showed that the distance of green space was positively correlated with social capital. The residents of Lansing may prefer the distant green space for recreational activities and create a way to participate in civic duty. The research can not only provide a basis for Lansing to formulate the appropriate resource management rules and norms and promote the accumulation of residents' social capital, but also provide a reference for urban green space planning in other areas. At the same time, in the context of developing a smart city and constructing a new public system, we hope that the better optimization of the green space allocation will be achieved.

本文创新性地采用了跨学科的方法，即城市设计，结合社会调查、统计分析和案例分析。本研究以兰辛市45个街区的1350名居民为样本，调查了社会资本的相关问题，包括安全感、与他人的接触以及对居住在特定地区的人的支持感。有两种方法来测量从社区中心到最近的绿地的距离。一个是直线距离，另一个是路径距离。通过统计分析，将小于250 m的路径距离也加入到变量中。研究结果推翻了假设，表明绿地距离与社会资本呈正相关。兰辛的居民可能更喜欢在远处的绿色空间进行娱乐活动，并创造一种参与公民义务的方式。研究不仅可以为兰辛市制定适宜的资源管理规则和规范，促进居民社会资本的积累提供依据，也可以为其他地区的城市绿地规划提供借鉴。同时，在发展智慧城市和构建新型公共体系的背景下，我们希望能够实现绿地配置的更好优化。
