br Conclusion A message easily decoded by a medieval

Conclusion A message easily decoded by a medieval person is possibly inaccessible to a modern person because even though we can always claim that a certain meaning behind all the historical monuments remain, we can no longer assure which meaning was retained. Similar to certain verbal languages that died, the languages of some architectural works/styles can die. Semiotics, which tends to “focus on synchronic rather than diachronic analysis” (Fiske and Hartley, 1978), is helpful in understanding cultural myths, which the signs embodied in a certain architectural work might allude to. By analyzing the overall composition of the Funerary Complex of Sultan Qaitbay, as well as each UNC2025 manufacturer thereof (Fig. 9) (e.g., location of the elements, relations of the elements, and arrangement of the elements), we can prove that the building contains a symbolic text that depicts the two upper domains of the cosmos, which include the heavens, the gardens, and the Throne, as described by Ibn Arabi. The claim that the architect used the language of architecture in expressing this notion has been proven. Table 1 summarizes the interpretation of the vocabularies used in this language, as well as the grammar ruling the language. Semiotic tools help explore the formal composition of this architectural work on the basis of a certain cultural code, which is the Sufie cosmic model in this case. Semiotic tools could help identify the patterns of meaning construction contained in this work.
Introduction Generally speaking, museum architecture, belonged to the category of public cultural architecture, consists of museum, exhibition hall, gallery, etc. It aims at research, education and appreciation as well as collects, saves, studies, transmits and exhibits witnesses related to human beings and their environment (including objects or specimens of nature, history, culture, art, science and technology). (Tang et al., 2009) In An Introduction to Architecture for Comprehensive Engineering Schools in Paris a monograph of Jean-Louis Dylan, he put forward the feature of museum architecture design, i.e., practical applicability. The audiences of museum architecture refer to the group that cardiac cycle serves. For audiences, the most intimate functional space in a museum architecture consists of three aspects, i.e., exhibition space (Henderson, 2001), traffic space and rest space (Henderson, 2001). Consequently, this paper focuses on investigating and analyzing these three spaces, so as to understand their characteristics and mutual relationship profoundly. By virtue of analyses of the data from the field investigation, the design methodology and philosophy is revealed, and can be provided as an essential reference for the design of museum architecture afterwards.
Field research
Analysis of the space in the exhibition museum
Analysis of investigated data
Conclusions of the investigation By virtue of this investigation, the author has a more specific and more profound understanding of spatial constitution and functional organization of museum architecture. Meanwhile, by means of literature studies and analyses of field investigation, the author gives some advice on museum architecture:

Introduction
Background of Rockcote design centre The Rockcote Design Centre is in the center of Nerang, a multi-award winning green building that embodies innovation inspired by nature, located between the Gold Coast (an Australian city) tourist strip and the green grandeur of the hinterland. A mixed use project including offices, industries, and retail stores is designed with diversiform architectural functions into a systematic building (Fig. 1).
