摘　　要：Many Beijing Siheyuan,a type of Chinese vernacular housing with significant cultural value,have been lost in recent years.Preserving the few remaining has become a necessity,but many contemporary architects lack an understanding of their design principles.Based on a historical analysis deriving from Fengshui theory,the Gongchens Zuofa Zeli ancient construction manual,and craftsmen's experience,this paper describes a parametric algorithm capable of producing Siheyuan variants within a 4D CAD environment which by transforming the original design principles into an algorithm contributes to an understanding of Siheyuan typology and their preservation.This algorithm was implemented in a virtual scripting environment to generate accurate virtual counterparts of historical orextant Siheyuan houses revealing the tacit computational rules underlying traditional Chinese architecture.
