建筑师在设计建筑时应考虑潜在用户的审美体验。以往的研究表明,建筑的主观审美判断受结构特征的影响,西方观察者更喜欢具有曲线轮廓的结构,高高的天花板,和开放空间。建筑风格,然而,不同的文化,目前还不清楚轮廓的偏好,天花板高度,开放存在于不同的文化中。为了调查这个问题,本研究分析了中国观察者的审美判断,结果表明,中国观察者也更喜欢高高的天花板和开放空间。曲线轮廓的偏好,然而,与天花板高度和开放性相互作用。简单的效应分析表明,只有在天花板较低且空间封闭时,中国观察者才喜欢曲线轮廓。总之,这些结果表明,中国观察者对高天花板和开放空间的偏好是稳健的,但曲线轮廓的偏好不太可靠。
Architects should consider the aesthetic experience of potential users when designing architectures. Previous studies have shown that subjective aesthetic judgment of architectures is influenced by structure features, and Western observers prefer structures that have curvilinear contours, high ceilings, and open space. The building styles, however, vary across cultures, and it remains unclear whether the preference for contours, ceiling height, and openness exist across cultures. To investigate this issue, this study analyzes the aesthetic judgment of Chinese observers, and the results demonstrate that Chinese observers also prefer high ceilings and open space. Preference for curvilinear contours, however, interacts with ceiling height and openness. Simple effect analysis reveals that Chinese observers prefer curvilinear contours only when the ceiling is low and the space is closed. In sum, these results suggest that preference for high ceilings and open space is robust for Chinese observers, but the preference for curvilinear contours is less reliable.
