Abstract
Today computing techniques and sophisticated digital tools are changing architectural heritage, conservation and restoration. In this paper, we study the historical architecture of the Yuanming Yuan imperial Garden of Qing Dynasty through an interpretation of historical documents, the communicative value of symbols and construction and develop into photographs and 3D models to express its intangible formal value. Based on the interpretation of the drawings of YangshiFang in the Imperial Household Department (Neiwu Fu), with their account of the complex constructional elements and layout, this paper rebuilds Guanlan Hall in Wanchun Garden at the southern Yuanming Yuan with digital modeling and a VR Exhibition System. The digital modeling recreation of Guanlan Hall creates an immersive communication tool. It gives an experience of the interior trim-work & tectonics of construction, an understanding of the patterns of architectural interior space. We investigate the importance of cultural transmission, which underlines the role of drawing as methodological structure and the role of Handicraft regulation as an instructional experience of research and cultural promotion. By providing a streamlined digital deconstruction process with animation and VR, the 3D model develops a detailed understanding of the Qing Dynasty style architectural trim-work structures and construction processes, contributing to research on the interior design of the Yuanming Yuan and the cultural dissemination of Chinese ancient architecture.
