This thesis presents research in which a set of contemporary computational techniques is applied to investigate and interpret a historical architectural type- traditional Chinese courtyard dwellings called Siheyuan. The techniques encompass parametric modelling, algorithmic representation, and shape grammar. This work provides a methodological framework for employing computational techniques to investigate, interpret, and represent rule-based designs. The historical literature and documents that recorded the design of Siheyuan are used as sources to study Siheyuan design knowledge. Based on a systematic analysis of the historical literature and documents, the design principles of traditional Siheyuan are reinterpreted. The rules underlying the design principles are derived for creating computational generative models. The models are formulated in the form of algorithms or shape grammars to represent the historical design principles in a computational manner. The parametric models are capable of generating variants of the Siheyuan design. The research is significant as it contributes to knowledge in two respects. First, it illustrates a computational approach by providing a workflow to interpret rule-based architecture design, which enhances the understanding of architectural knowledge and creates a generative tool to support architects in practice, remembering that much of this architectural heritage is facing oblivion. Second, it demonstrates an innovative application of computational techniques in the study of traditional Chinese architecture. Conventionally, computational techniques are mainly applied to digital visual representations of single building examples of traditional Chinese architecture, while this research provides a framework that employs computational techniques, especially parametric modelling, to reveal the tacit rules underlying a Chinese historical architectural type. It bridges the gap between architectural heritage and computational techniques in a novel way. The experiment falls into two parts, the first looks at individual Siheyuan design and the second at Siheyuan urban neighbourhood planning. The first part includes four case studies on each case study corresponding to one element of Siheyuan from a historical rule source. They are the site selection, courtyard layout pattern generation, individual room-building generation, and individual room-buildings fortunate form identification. The generative models of the four case studies are integrated to make a tool for designing individual Siheyuan. The second part includes one case study that formulates a parametric shape grammar for procedural modelling of Siheyuan neighbourhoods. It infers the rules of the Siheyuan neighbourhood generation by observing examples from a historical map. The findings illustrate how computational techniques can be employed to augment and clarify historical sources by interpreting them as rules and algorithmic representations, especially useful since the conventional studies are unclear and difficult to understand. Meanwhile, the tool created in this research contributes to helping design work. Architects could rapidly generate Siheyuan designs without much knowledge about this architectural type, while it is time-consuming by conventional means.
