Research on the Construction of Component Library and Visualization of Construction Process Based on the Investigation of Ancient Buildings in Hebei Province

Abstract

As the former territory of the Yan and Zhao states, Hebei preserves ancient buildings with a time span of thousands of years. However, the public lacks an intuitive understanding of their modular design and construction logic. Based on the existing ancient buildings in Hebei, this study systematically sorted out typical architectural cases and established a basic information database through literature research and field investigation. By applying 3D scanning and reverse modeling technologies, the architectural entities were deconstructed into a standardized digital component library, and the parametric translation of the "Cai Fen System" ^[3]was completed. Finally, relying on architectural animation technology, the complete dynamic construction process was simulated, and the implicit wisdom such as "camber of columns" and "rising of eaves" was visually presented. This paper explores a readable heritage interpretation method for the public^[4], enabling non-professionals to deeply understand the construction wisdom of ancient Chinese architecture that combines standardized production with flexibility.
