摘　　要：Experts in the field of architecture and landscape design have reached a broad consensus that the Chinese literati garden is a type of built environment that seamlessly integrates architecture and landscape with exceptional cultural,artistic,and historical values.However,previous site-based studies have often leaned towards either a subjective description of the experience or a technical analysis of the space.Both approaches may result in oversimplified interpretations of the Chinese literati garden,failing to adequately capture its fundamental spatial-experiential structure.This paper aims to address this challenge through the lens of phenomenology.Specifically,it examines an essential spatial-experiential structuredthe FS-FW structuredembedded within the Chinese literati garden.The term FS-FW structure,as meticulously established in this paper,refers to the spatial-experiential structure formed by the relationship between one’s experience within a single“focusing space”(a space built for visitors to linger and mindfully appreciate their surroundings)and that within its“focused world”(a phenomenal world of surroundings generated during visitors’stay in the focusing space).Using the Master of the Nets Garden as a case study,this paper investigates how the FS-FW structure shapes one’s experiences within a literati garden and explores several important mechanisms related to it.A variety of methods are employed throughout,with GIS-based spatial-visual analysis being particularly significant.The case study leads to a series of original results,including some significant mechanisms,that explain how Chinese literati gardens shape visitors’experiences.This paper concludes that the FS-FW structure is a key factor responsible for shaping a continuous,rich,and clearly formulated experience within the Chinese literati garden.
