Abstract
Chinese Ancient Architecture (CAA) has a remarkable feature that its construction follows a set of rigorous constraints. Based on this property, we present a procedural approach for fast CAA modeling. Knowledge of the architecture construction is formalized as a set of rules and the primary features of buildings are parameterized to control the modeling process. By this approach, it is efficient and convenient to generate regular architectures or a class of architectures with a similar style. A system is implemented based on this idea. More than one hundred different buildings have been generated by a rule set comprising of about 120 rules.
