Features: This book is the result of extensive research conducted by architects and multidisciplinary scholars over many years, combining theoretical and practical experience. It introduces in detail how architects have analyzed and studied buildings and their surrounding environments using modern architectural language and environmental structures, as well as their work in architectural theory and practice through innovative research methods that deviate from traditional approaches. The book's unique features and innovations lie in its exploration of architecture and its environment from multiple perspectives—historical, cultural, geographical, and more. It rejects the traditional practice of distinguishing cities from landscapes and planning from architecture. For these architects, urban centers and suburbs, cities and rural areas are merely different locations on the same map, each with its own characteristics while also being broadly interconnected and subordinate to one another. The book presents fresh design concepts and new meanings. It serves as an excellent reference and source of inspiration for architects, planners, interior designers, heritage preservation professionals, and students in related fields. This book is suitable for architects, planners, interior designers, heritage preservation professionals, and students in related fields.
