Abstract

“Yingzaosuanli” is an ancient Chinese craftman’s handwriting book from the Ming and Qing Dynasties (13th to 18th centuries). It is a design guide for ancient Chinese architecture written in ancient mathematics. By analyzing the text and interpreting architectural terms, it is proved that “Yingzaosuanli” geometry can be re-elaborated by modern parametric mathematical models, in this case, taking advantage of Grasshopper.
