摘      要：The famous modernist architect Richard Neutra argued that movement through,and understanding of a building could be choreographed by controlling the visual stimuli that is available to a *** claims are tested by quantifying the lines of sight and intelligibility of five of Neutra’s residential designs.A computational method,weighted axial line analysis,is used to investigate lines of sight and movement in five of Neutra’s house *** cumulative lengths of axial lines required to reach public and private spaces are compared,and centrality measures are calculated for each design that are weighted with line length *** metrics are calculated from these centrality *** first hypothesis,that visual stimuli in Neutra’s architecture is greater when accessing public rather than private spaces is supported by the *** second hypothesis,that Neutra’s architecture is highly intelligible,is not supported by the *** research tests two theories used to explain the works of a famous architect and it develops a new variation of well-known Space Syntax technique,to account for axial line lengths.
