Abstract
Scientific and accurate evaluation of architecture is efficient for design optimization and resource conservation of sustainable cities. Complicated and multidisciplinary contents and architecture proposals are difficult to judge with validity and objectivity by current evaluation methods. A scale is a concentrated application of psychometrics that can collect expert knowledge objectively, scientifically, and comprehensively. This paper proposes the development of an architecture design evaluation scale on the natural dimension with the application of a web-based interface system. The evaluation items of the scale were determined by the Delphi process. Offering a broader dimension of information exchange, a web-based interface system was applied in the Delphi process and the scale pretest. Then, following psychometric research methodology, the pretest results were proven to be scientific and accurate by reliability and validity tests (KMO=0.72,P=1.06×10−105, Cronbach α=0.923). This research develops a new evaluation scale of architectural design, aiming to improve the quality of architectural design and the sustainability of cities.
