Research on Order Aesthetics of Traditional Chinese Architecture from the Perspective of Design Geometry

Abstract

Design geometry is a discipline that studies the scale division standards of ratio and composition, which reveals the aesthetic laws based on human aesthetic preferences. The construction of traditional Chinese architecture combines “circular heaven and square earth”, “harmony between human and nature”, “golden mean” and other philosophical thoughts to form √2 and √3 ratio relationships and the expression form of central axis symmetry, which also combines mathematical relationship with cultural and aesthetic preferences. Taking core architecture complex of Beijing Ancestral Temple as an example, this paper analyzes its spatial construction method and mathematical ratio relationship, and order aesthetics of traditional architecture based on the design geometry theory, in order to provide references for the combination of traditional Chinese culture and modern design theory, and to provide more bases for practicability of design geometry.
