The Application Of Complex Network Theory In Architectural Design

Apply complex network theory into the field of architecture, use complex network thinking to reflect traditional architectural mechanism, regard constructions as a network node embedded in environmental systems and human systems of the study the people, architecture and environment of the deep relations. The core of the research projects include:construction of complex network thinking; research relevancy design of construction, natural and cultural network; auxiliary investigate of digital technology on the complex network design. Advantage of complex network theory is the panoramic awareness for natural, cosmos and human life status, to promote human cognition from the "frogs" Opinion on the ocean toward understanding complex networks. Through analyse of related construction ideas, theories and practice in different periods of history, especially in the twentieth century, build architecture design ideas which combined natural and human network, and further from study and discuss of relevancy design of the two networks summarize design strategies and methods of design for complex network.In the natural level study architecture and the natural symbiosis; in the cultural level discuss structure of architecture and; in the technical aspect discuss organic composition of digital technology and architecture.Architecture rooted in the natural and cultural networks, is a node in complex network, not appendage outside network. By analyzing the deep nature and complex network structure and the relevance of architectural design, search links angle, thinking and methods between architecture and nature. From the psychological mechanism, behavior, complex cultural phenomenon and network, establish connection between architecture and human network, through relevance design of architecture and complex humanities network to analyze the influence from human factors on the architectural design. Capture of the complexity factor, as well as the gathering, carding and integration in the construction, is the focus of the complexity of network design. In addition, the development of digital technology create an opportunity for the construction of the complex network, it will no longer remain in the program or thinking stage can not build or achieve. Meanwhile, the complex network design give questions for Euclidean geometry which is necessary for Architect, breaking the original simple, mechanical room design framework, and infuse new origins for architecture design.
