Introduction Traditional Chinese villages are a vital legacy of China’s agricultural civilization, embodying the historical memory of the nation and encompassing rich historical information and cultural landscapes. Spatial style is a key landscape resource of traditional Chinese villages and serves as a spatial carrier that reflects the historical and cultural traits of these villages. Understanding the value of traditional Chinese villages and preserving their spatial features and cultural elements are crucial for the innovation and continuation of Chinese civilization in the new era. Under the current new technological context and social development conditions, the protection and renewal of traditional Chinese villages face two problems. Firstly, how should traditional villages’ spatial feature information be identified and accurately transmitted? The spatial style of traditional villages has been severely impacted by China’s rapid urbanization. The integrity of spatial style and continuity of cultural inheritance have been disrupted, leading to a loss of spatial form characteristics and cultural functions [ 1 ]. Protecting traditional villages is a significant challenge in the urbanization process. The difficulties arise mainly from the mainstream planning model’s lack of detailed analysis and application of the internal dynamics of traditional village spatial forms. This is evident in the absence of precise quantitative analysis tools, efficient spatial form design technologies, and dynamic planning methods. To address this, it is essential to objectively identify and extract spatial feature information from traditional villages. Constructing a comprehensive information system and expressing this information through computer-recognizable coding methods is necessary. The second problem is how to effectively utilize traditional villages’ spatial feature data. Advancements in data technology have led to an increase in digital research on traditional villages, transitioning from manual to digital preservation methods [ 2 ]. Image recognition and spatial information databases for traditional villages are maturing [ 3 ]. However, the application of digital technology in village protection often stops at data visualization. The acquisition of extensive data enables the accurate transmission of historical and cultural information, crucial for restoring incomplete spatial features and reconstructing spatial textures [ 4 ]. Data mining is required to understand the objective rules behind the visual aspects. Relying solely on static guidelines or dynamic visualizations from data organization is insufficient. The deepening of data technology and artificial intelligence research has made the parametric extraction of spatial information features and the automatic generation of protection schemes for traditional villages an important research direction and practical approach [ 5 – 9 ]. Parametric design is a computer-aided technology based on processes and rules, which utilizes computer automation to execute manually formulated logical processes and generate rules, and quickly output specific content generation methods. This method is widely used in the field of computer graphics for virtual world synthesis modeling. In the field of spatial planning and design, parametric design was first widely applied in the nonlinear design of buildings, especially in the design of building skins, and gradually spread to the fields of urban design and urban spatial planning [ 10 ]. Based on parameterized computer-aided planning and design, the relevant processes and rules are based on mature design logic, and the interpretability of scheme generation is strong. The method based on process and rules is also convenient for carrying a powerful human-computer interaction interface, which can adjust generation conditions and modify generation results in real time, and the generation process is highly controllable. Parameterization has become an important development direction for computer-aided planning and design in the fields of architectural design and urban-rural planning. At present, the exploration of parameterization technology in urban and rural planning and design practice mainly involves the simulation of urban architectural group form, the simulation of urban overall structural form, and the design of urban road network form[ 11 – 14 ]. Most of the existing practical research has focused on the field of urban design, and its application in the planning and design of rural settlement spatial forms is close to blank. This article is an exploration of this blank field. The research on traditional Chinese villages mainly focuses on the analysis and excavation of spatial features and architectural construction characteristics [ 15 – 18 ], the management mechanism for the protection and utilization of traditional villages [ 19 – 21 ], the paths for the protection and renewal of traditional villages [ 22 – 23 ]. Practical research on the application of parameterization techniques in the planning and design of rural settlement spatial forms is limited. Parameterized research on traditional villages mainly focuses on parametric design of street and alley spaces [ 24 ], quantitative analysis of spatial texture [ 25 – 26 ], quantitative research on the spatial morphology of traditional villages based on spatial syntax [ 27 – 28 ], etc. This study integrates concepts of inheritance and innovation to construct a parametric analysis system that quantitatively analyzes the inherent laws and characteristics of traditional Chinese village spaces. Employing parametric-assisted planning and design techniques, it explores the automatic generation of traditional village protection schemes, guiding the continuation of the spatial style and providing effective, novel technical methods for optimizing spatial form planning in traditional villages. 2. Research Method This section outlines the parametric technology employed in the study and the choice of software platform, CityEngine, followed by the overarching research ideas guiding the investigation. 2.1. Parametric Technology Parametric technology is an advanced design technique that leverages numerical relationships between variables to define geometric properties. It establishes dynamic connections between parameters (variables) and geometric shapes, enabling control over geometric changes by adjusting parameter values [ 29 ]. This technology encompasses three essential components: identifying parameters, establishing rules, and choosing software platforms [ 30 ]. Its comprehensive advantages include dynamic and efficient responses to the complexities of urban planning and architectural design [ 31 – 33 ], positioning it as a key development direction in these fields. The application of parametric design in traditional village protection planning offers several benefits: Enables quantitative analysis of spatial characteristics in traditional villages. Allows for the reconstruction of spatial textures, providing an objective and rational design approach that enhances the scientific and rational aspects of planning and design. Utilizes computer software platforms as the data foundation for AI planning models, facilitating dynamic simulations of village growth processes. Features strong scalability and openness, allowing for manual modifications and adjustments to objectively generated plans, which supports efficient public participation and aids in building information management systems for traditional village protection. 2.2. Selection of Software Platform: CityEngine Parametric design technology operates on a computer software platform, and CityEngine has been chosen for this research. As a software compatible with Python programming, CityEngine can effectively address complex issues in traditional village spatial forms through secondary development. Its seamless integration with ArcGIS allows for rapid modeling using GIS data, making it particularly advantageous for large-scale 3D form modeling [ 34 – 35 ]. The parametric design process in CityEngine follows a sequence as illustrated in Fig. 1 : establishing the street network, segmenting blocks, modeling buildings, and creating detailed scenes. Through associative rules, CityEngine can dynamically adjust various objects within the model [ 36 ]. 2.3. Research Ideas Employing data technology, this study confronts the protection and development challenges of traditional Chinese villages with a focus on spatial analysis and reconstruction. Spatial analysis involves separately identifying the roads, blocks, and buildings that constitute the characteristic elements of traditional village space, and transforming optimized feature points into parameters and rules. Spatial reconstruction uses computer language algorithms to automatically generate spatial textures based on spatial feature data extraction and parameter analysis, facilitating the automatic reconstruction and weaving of traditional village spatial textures [ 37 ]. The logical framework of the research is detailed in Fig. 2 . 3. Extraction of Core Parameters of Spatial Characteristics in Traditional Chinese Villages This section details the process of identifying and codifying the core parameters that define the spatial characteristics of traditional Chinese villages. 3.1. Spatial Feature Analysis Spatial feature analysis involves converting spatial elements into quantifiable parameters and rules for descriptive analysis. This process includes two stages: quantitative analysis of spatial features and their parameterized translation. Initially, spatial features are deconstructed based on principles of spatial elements’ integrity, with basic elements of roads, blocks, and buildings being identified and separate parameter sets being constructed for each. These parameters are designed to independently represent and control specific features. Subsequently, algorithmic rules are developed to extract parameter values from spatial forms, translating them into computer-readable data linked to spatial elements through functions and equations, thus establishing constraint relationships. 3.2. Parameter Analysis and Extraction Rules of Road Spatial Features A detailed analysis of the spatial characteristics of traditional village roads reveals the internal dynamics and functional traits of their morphological development. The parameterized analysis begins with preprocessing existing roads to identify and remove redundant information. Roads are then segmented into subgraph sets to isolate fundamental compositional elements, which are subsequently translated into parameters or rules. Algorithmic rules are formulated to extract parameter values from the existing terrain [ 37 – 38 ]. The effective parameters and extraction rules for road spatial features, as determined through experimentation, are presented in Table 1 . Table 1 Road spatial features parameters and extraction algorithms.

Complex road networks can be achieved through the superposition and fusion of these three types (Fig. 3 ). The number of village centers refers to the number of public centers in the village, and the road density in the village center is often higher than that in the periphery (Fig. 4 ). Figure 5 illustrates the spatial quantification feature for road length, road angle, and road intersections, where 02 represents road intersections, 04 represents road nodes, d1 represents distance between road intersections, θ represents the road intersection angle, and β represents the angle between roads. 3.3. Parameter Analysis and Extraction Rules for Spatial Features of Blocks The organizational structure and planar morphology of blocks are crucial in shaping the spatial form of traditional villages. The parameterization analysis aims to delineate block divisions that reflect their functions and closely match actual property blocks. Blocks are decomposed into subgraphs, and their organizational and morphological characteristics are converted into parameters and rules [58]. Research and reconstruction experiments on traditional village block patterns have yielded specific parameter indicators and extraction rules, which are outlined in Table 2 . Table 2 Blocks spatial feature parameters and extraction algorithms.

Figure 7 illustrates the quantitative extraction method for block planar morphological features, where θ represents the block interior angle, L and W represent block boundary lines, and L’ represents the block direction line, which is a straight line parallel to the long side of the bounding rectangle outside the block. 3.4. Parameter Analysis and Extraction Rules of Building Space Features The spatial characteristics of buildings are captured by translating their planar and facade form elements into parameters and rules. The established parameter indicators and corresponding extraction rules are detailed in Table 3 . Table 3 Buildings spatial feature parameters and extraction algorithms.

The building angle is the smaller angle between the building direction line and the reference line. Figure 9 illustrates the extraction rules for building angle. Figure 10 illustrates the extracted elements of building facade morphological features. 4. Parameterized Reconstruction and Practical Application of Traditional Village Space This section outlines the process of parameterized reconstruction of traditional village space and its practical applications. 4.1. Parameterized Space Reconstruction Parameterization technology, coupled with computer programming algorithms, enables the automatic generation of spatial textures that mimic original features, facilitating the reconstruction and weaving of traditional village textures. The reconstruction process is divided into two main parts: the organization of associated feature elements and the construction of visualization models. 4.1.1. Organization of Associated Feature Elements Utilizing the CityEngine software platform’s generation module, a set of logical rules and code expressions are created to construct spatial "growth" within the constraints of space (dimensional and geometric) and organizational rules. The spatial form elements of roads, blocks, and buildings are arranged in a cohesive relationship model. Figure 11 illustrates this organization, where A, B, and C represent spatial types, a 1 , b 1 , and c 1 represent the feature elements constituting spatial types, the lines between elements indicate constraint relationships, b 31 signifies the conditions for constraining spatial elements, c 23 denotes the conditions for constraining different spatial elements of the same type, and ab 12 represents the constraint conditions for spatial elements between different types. The spatial generation of roads is carried out through the StreetModule of the CE software platform, which decomposes the roads into five components: street, sidewalk, crossing, junction, and junctionentry. The components are organized in an orderly manner into a framework according to constraint conditions, and through the secondary development of CGA rule files, revise and optimize the generated road spatial form. Figure 12 illustrates the process of road space reconstruction. The reconstruction of block space and building is mainly achieved through programming methods. By using the CGA language provided by CE and writing CGA rule files, spatial features and constraint relationships between features are integrated to form a spatial generation relationship model. Parameter values are substituted into the CGA file and imported into the CE platform for spatial generation. Figure 13 illustrates the process of block space and building reconstruction. 4.1.2. Visualization Model Construction Employing the CityEngine software platform, visual models are constructed based on the overall linked relationship model. This is done using parameter-driven and relationship-driven mechanisms to create two-dimensional graphics and three-dimensional visualization images. These models simulate the generation of basic spatial features and serve as a foundation for the subsequent reconstruction of the traditional village space. 4.2. Practical Application of Parameterized Space Reconstruction 4.2.1. Research Area Qiji Village, located in Yanggu County, Shandong Province, is recognized on the sixth list of traditional Chinese villages. As an important historical dock of the Grand Canal since the Yuan Dynasty, Qiji Village has been a prosperous trading hub. Its well-preserved ancient dock and connected commercial street are significant components of the Grand Canal’s World Heritage application, as shown in Fig. 14(a). However, with the decline of river transport, Qiji Village faces challenges such as depopulation, dilapidated buildings, and poor infrastructure, leading to the erosion of its social functions, cultural values, and spatial features. The study focuses on a 22-hectare area designated for the protection and renewal of Qiji Village, as shown in Fig. 14(b). In the national spatial planning context, Qiji Village is within the urban development boundaries. The main challenge is integrating traditional village protection with urban construction, preserving spatial patterns and historical buildings, improving infrastructure, and enhancing the village’s vitality. This research aims to address these challenges. 4.2.2. Data Acquisition and Establishment of Parameter Sets Data collection involves on-site research and the use of open-source geographic information to gather data on roads, land parcels, and buildings within the Qiji Village landscape protection area. This data serves as the foundation for generating renewed spatial morphological features. Following the earlier mentioned parameter analysis and extraction rules, the data is categorized, integrated, and current spatial feature parameter values are extracted. These values are optimized to reflect changes in urban development and residents’ needs, creating a traditional village spatial characteristic parameter database to support the automatic reconstruction of spatial styles (Fig. 15 ). 4.2.3. Reconstruction and Continuation of Spatial Texture Using the spatial feature parameter database, the study explores the automatic generation of traditional village spatial textures with the CityEngine software platform. The process begins with the application of traditional village boundary extraction rules, combined with the scope of traditional village protection planning and the construction area designated by national land space, to determine the areas requiring renewal. The road space form generation module is then used to generate the road network form by adjusting parameter values. The generated road form is further refined by importing rule files for secondary development (Fig. 16a). Following this, block segmentation and block spatial texture reconstruction are performed through programming using the CGA rule language provided by CityEngine or compatible Python language (Fig. 16b). Finally, parameterized 3D modeling of buildings is conducted using CGA syntax or rule files written in Python to generate and reconstruct the spatial texture of buildings (Fig. 16c). As demonstrated, parametric design can automatically generate planning schemes through programming with rule-based languages based on extracted parameter data. By adjusting parameter indicators, the automatically generated plans can be optimized and adaptively modified to reconstruct planning and design schemes that not only retain traditional village characteristics but also meet modern living needs. This alignment with traditional village protection and future development trends makes the planning and design process more rational and efficient. 5. Conclusion and Discussion Digital technology is increasingly applied to protect traditional settlements. Parameterization technology extracts the systematic rules governing the spatial information of traditional settlements, overcoming limitations such as potential biases and inaccuracies inherent in subjective methods of information transmission, and ensuring the accurate preservation of historical landscape information. By integrating advanced technologies and combining human and computer decision-making, planning schemes are generated that preserve the spatial characteristics of case studies while incorporating modern living needs. Digital technology promises to bring order and innovation to traditional spaces. The digital generation of Qiji Village’s protection and development planning scheme validates the effectiveness and technical advantages of automatic generation methods based on the parameterization of spatial feature elements. Parametric design utilizes parameters and algorithms, with its rich and rigorous design logic, to improve design efficiency. This reflects the advantages of parametric design methods in terms of systematicity, interpretability, and controllability. Despite the diversity of traditional Chinese villages, their unique bottom-up growth pattern provides a recognizable and consistent basis for digital generative design techniques. With advancements in artificial intelligence and digital technology, and as spatial data on traditional villages becomes richer and more refined, data-driven automatic generation of planning and design schemes will increasingly address the complex challenges of protecting and renewing traditional settlements and historical buildings. One important purpose of computer-aided planning and design is to gradually move towards intelligent systems that alleviate human workload and ensure that the process remains human-centric. It transforms design principles into intelligent rules and hands them over to computers, freeing more human energy into design decisions and forming a human-machine interactive planning and design process. Any planning and design scheme is almost never carried out on a blank sheet of paper. The current situation, existing constraints themselves, manual preset of key design intentions are important factors in determining the outcome of the scheme, which is a work scope that computers cannot automatically complete. For the results generated through assisted generation, human intelligence needs to be deeply involved in screening, evaluating, and adjusting, ultimately transforming them into design solutions guided by the thinking of planners. During the adjustment process, the barriers between planners and computers are broken to the greatest extent possible. Human intelligence and role become the top priority in the computer-aided process. There are certain limitations to this research. First, The traditional parameterization method is mainly based on human settings. If designers intervene excessively in the design process, the resulting designs may lack true intelligence and automation, and it is difficult to get rid of the dependence on subjective factors of humans. Second, traditional village protection is a complex task that involves the inherent mechanism of multi-scale space, with more diverse humanistic and social content. It is necessary to consider a range of objectives, encompassing both objective constraints, such as land rights and heritage conservation, and subjective factors, such as culture, social systems, economy, and aesthetics. In future studies, deep learning methods can be applied to the process of extracting spatial features and organizational rules, to accurately perceive and recognize complex spatial forms[ 39 – 41 ], minimizing manual intervention during the generation process. In addition, it is necessary to multidimensional optimization parameterized content system, incorporate "invisible" indicators such as social and economic development, human demands, sociocultural and institutional structures into the parameterized indicator system. Application of planning and design considering traditional village differentiation is also important, the construction of a national database detailing the morphological characteristics of traditional villages would be beneficial. In contemplating the role of technology in planning, it is worth considering whether computer-aided planning and design have inadvertently given precedence to technology over other aspects. Does intelligent tool thinking weaken the dominant position of humanism in creative thinking? As the French philosopher Bernard Stiegler once said, “We need to create a new technological culture to respond to the era of technology” [ 42 ]. Therefore, under new technological conditions, we need to consider how to reshape spatial planning and design under human-machine symbiosis.

Introduction","content":"\u003cp\u003eTraditional Chinese villages are a vital legacy of China\u0026rsquo;s agricultural civilization, embodying the historical memory of the nation and encompassing rich historical information and cultural landscapes. Spatial style is a key landscape resource of traditional Chinese villages and serves as a spatial carrier that reflects the historical and cultural traits of these villages. Understanding the value of traditional Chinese villages and preserving their spatial features and cultural elements are crucial for the innovation and continuation of Chinese civilization in the new era.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnder the current new technological context and social development conditions, the protection and renewal of traditional Chinese villages face two problems. Firstly, how should traditional villages\u0026rsquo; spatial feature information be identified and accurately transmitted? The spatial style of traditional villages has been severely impacted by China\u0026rsquo;s rapid urbanization. The integrity of spatial style and continuity of cultural inheritance have been disrupted, leading to a loss of spatial form characteristics and cultural functions [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR1\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e1\u003c/span\u003e]. Protecting traditional villages is a significant challenge in the urbanization process. The difficulties arise mainly from the mainstream planning model\u0026rsquo;s lack of detailed analysis and application of the internal dynamics of traditional village spatial forms. This is evident in the absence of precise quantitative analysis tools, efficient spatial form design technologies, and dynamic planning methods. To address this, it is essential to objectively identify and extract spatial feature information from traditional villages. Constructing a comprehensive information system and expressing this information through computer-recognizable coding methods is necessary. The second problem is how to effectively utilize traditional villages\u0026rsquo; spatial feature data. Advancements in data technology have led to an increase in digital research on traditional villages, transitioning from manual to digital preservation methods [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR2\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e2\u003c/span\u003e]. Image recognition and spatial information databases for traditional villages are maturing [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR3\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e3\u003c/span\u003e]. However, the application of digital technology in village protection often stops at data visualization. The acquisition of extensive data enables the accurate transmission of historical and cultural information, crucial for restoring incomplete spatial features and reconstructing spatial textures [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR4\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e4\u003c/span\u003e]. Data mining is required to understand the objective rules behind the visual aspects. Relying solely on static guidelines or dynamic visualizations from data organization is insufficient. The deepening of data technology and artificial intelligence research has made the parametric extraction of spatial information features and the automatic generation of protection schemes for traditional villages an important research direction and practical approach [\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR6 CR7 CR8\" citationid=\"CR5\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e5\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR9\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e9\u003c/span\u003e].\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eParametric design is a computer-aided technology based on processes and rules, which utilizes computer automation to execute manually formulated logical processes and generate rules, and quickly output specific content generation methods. This method is widely used in the field of computer graphics for virtual world synthesis modeling. In the field of spatial planning and design, parametric design was first widely applied in the nonlinear design of buildings, especially in the design of building skins, and gradually spread to the fields of urban design and urban spatial planning [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR10\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e10\u003c/span\u003e]. Based on parameterized computer-aided planning and design, the relevant processes and rules are based on mature design logic, and the interpretability of scheme generation is strong.

The parameterization analysis aims to delineate block divisions that reflect their functions and closely match actual property blocks. Blocks are decomposed into subgraphs, and their organizational and morphological characteristics are converted into parameters and rules [58].

Research Area\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQiji Village, located in Yanggu County, Shandong Province, is recognized on the sixth list of traditional Chinese villages. As an important historical dock of the Grand Canal since the Yuan Dynasty, Qiji Village has been a prosperous trading hub. Its well-preserved ancient dock and connected commercial street are significant components of the Grand Canal\u0026rsquo;s World Heritage application, as shown in Fig.\u0026nbsp;14(a). However, with the decline of river transport, Qiji Village faces challenges such as depopulation, dilapidated buildings, and poor infrastructure, leading to the erosion of its social functions, cultural values, and spatial features. The study focuses on a 22-hectare area designated for the protection and renewal of Qiji Village, as shown in Fig.\u0026nbsp;14(b).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the national spatial planning context, Qiji Village is within the urban development boundaries. The main challenge is integrating traditional village protection with urban construction, preserving spatial patterns and historical buildings, improving infrastructure, and enhancing the village\u0026rsquo;s vitality.

Following the earlier mentioned parameter analysis and extraction rules, the data is categorized, integrated, and current spatial feature parameter values are extracted. These values are optimized to reflect changes in urban development and residents\u0026rsquo; needs, creating a traditional village spatial characteristic parameter database to support the automatic reconstruction of spatial styles (Fig.\u0026nbsp;\u003cspan class=\"InternalRef\"\u003e15\u003c/span\u003e).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"Sec18\" class=\"Section3\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e4.2.3. Reconstruction and Continuation of Spatial Texture\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsing the spatial feature parameter database, the study explores the automatic generation of traditional village spatial textures with the CityEngine software platform. The process begins with the application of traditional village boundary extraction rules, combined with the scope of traditional village protection planning and the construction area designated by national land space, to determine the areas requiring renewal. The road space form generation module is then used to generate the road network form by adjusting parameter values. The generated road form is further refined by importing rule files for secondary development (Fig.\u0026nbsp;16a). Following this, block segmentation and block spatial texture reconstruction are performed through programming using the CGA rule language provided by CityEngine or compatible Python language (Fig.\u0026nbsp;16b). Finally, parameterized 3D modeling of buildings is conducted using CGA syntax or rule files written in Python to generate and reconstruct the spatial texture of buildings (Fig.\u0026nbsp;16c).\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs demonstrated, parametric design can automatically generate planning schemes through programming with rule-based languages based on extracted parameter data. By adjusting parameter indicators, the automatically generated plans can be optimized and adaptively modified to reconstruct planning and design schemes that not only retain traditional village characteristics but also meet modern living needs. This alignment with traditional village protection and future development trends makes the planning and design process more rational and efficient.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e"},{"header":"5. Conclusion and Discussion","content":"\u003cp\u003eDigital technology is increasingly applied to protect traditional settlements. Parameterization technology extracts the systematic rules governing the spatial information of traditional settlements, overcoming limitations such as potential biases and inaccuracies inherent in subjective methods of information transmission, and ensuring the accurate preservation of historical landscape information. By integrating advanced technologies and combining human and computer decision-making, planning schemes are generated that preserve the spatial characteristics of case studies while incorporating modern living needs. Digital technology promises to bring order and innovation to traditional spaces.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe digital generation of Qiji Village\u0026rsquo;s protection and development planning scheme validates the effectiveness and technical advantages of automatic generation methods based on the parameterization of spatial feature elements. Parametric design utilizes parameters and algorithms, with its rich and rigorous design logic, to improve design efficiency. This reflects the advantages of parametric design methods in terms of systematicity, interpretability, and controllability. Despite the diversity of traditional Chinese villages, their unique bottom-up growth pattern provides a recognizable and consistent basis for digital generative design techniques. With advancements in artificial intelligence and digital technology, and as spatial data on traditional villages becomes richer and more refined, data-driven automatic generation of planning and design schemes will increasingly address the complex challenges of protecting and renewing traditional settlements and historical buildings.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOne important purpose of computer-aided planning and design is to gradually move towards intelligent systems that alleviate human workload and ensure that the process remains human-centric. It transforms design principles into intelligent rules and hands them over to computers, freeing more human energy into design decisions and forming a human-machine interactive planning and design process. Any planning and design scheme is almost never carried out on a blank sheet of paper. The current situation, existing constraints themselves, manual preset of key design intentions are important factors in determining the outcome of the scheme, which is a work scope that computers cannot automatically complete. For the results generated through assisted generation, human intelligence needs to be deeply involved in screening, evaluating, and adjusting, ultimately transforming them into design solutions guided by the thinking of planners. During the adjustment process, the barriers between planners and computers are broken to the greatest extent possible. Human intelligence and role become the top priority in the computer-aided process.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are certain limitations to this research. First, The traditional parameterization method is mainly based on human settings. If designers intervene excessively in the design process, the resulting designs may lack true intelligence and automation, and it is difficult to get rid of the dependence on subjective factors of humans. Second, traditional village protection is a complex task that involves the inherent mechanism of multi-scale space, with more diverse humanistic and social content. It is necessary to consider a range of objectives, encompassing both objective constraints, such as land rights and heritage conservation, and subjective factors, such as culture, social systems, economy, and aesthetics. In future studies, deep learning methods can be applied to the process of extracting spatial features and organizational rules, to accurately perceive and recognize complex spatial forms[\u003cspan additionalcitationids=\"CR40\" citationid=\"CR39\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e39\u003c/span\u003e\u0026ndash;\u003cspan citationid=\"CR41\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e41\u003c/span\u003e], minimizing manual intervention during the generation process. In addition, it is necessary to multidimensional optimization parameterized content system, incorporate \"invisible\" indicators such as social and economic development, human demands, sociocultural and institutional structures into the parameterized indicator system. Application of planning and design considering traditional village differentiation is also important, the construction of a national database detailing the morphological characteristics of traditional villages would be beneficial.\u003c/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn contemplating the role of technology in planning, it is worth considering whether computer-aided planning and design have inadvertently given precedence to technology over other aspects. Does intelligent tool thinking weaken the dominant position of humanism in creative thinking? As the French philosopher Bernard Stiegler once said, \u0026ldquo;We need to create a new technological culture to respond to the era of technology\u0026rdquo; [\u003cspan citationid=\"CR42\" class=\"CitationRef\"\u003e42\u003c/span\u003e].

This study focuses on how to apply parameterization technology to analyze and articulate traditional spatial form composition rules, aiming to minimize reliance on subjective human judgment in the protection and renewal design of the historical style of traditional villages. It aims to establish digital generative design tools to address the challenges of accurately inheriting and innovatively utilizing historical and cultural information in traditional settlements. It introduces how to rely on parameterization technology to analyze the spatial form composition rules, parameter extraction rules, and spatial reconstruction rules of traditional villages, facilitating the complete process from spatial features to parameterization rules, and then to the application of computational methods to deduce spatial features. It also includes case studies demonstrating the application of parameterization technology tools for village protection and explores the role of generative design tools in preserving the spatial style of these settlements.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"Analysis and Reconstruction Method of Spatial Characteristics of Traditional Chinese Villages Based on Parameterization","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2024-03-28 17:51:55","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-4072347/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"researchsquare","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":true,"externalIdentity":"","sideBox":"","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"/submission","title":"Research Square","twitterHandle":"researchsquare","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":false,"editorialSystem":"","reportingPortfolio":"","inReviewEnabled":false,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"1a29d98d-ce07-4520-9315-7d0aeed35aa5","owner":[],"postedDate":"March 28th, 2024","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"posted","subjectAreas":[{"id":29905282,"name":"Physical sciences/Engineering/Civil engineering"},{"id":29905283,"name":"Earth and environmental sciences/Environmental social sciences/Sustainability"}],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2024-04-19T19:14:22+00:00","versionOfRecord":[],"versionCreatedAt":"2024-03-28 17:51:55","video":"","vorDoi":"","vorDoiUrl":"","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-4072347","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-4072347","identity":"rs-4072347","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"8U1c8b4HqxoKbykW_rLl7","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
