Research direction:

1. Environmental behavior, human factors ergonomics, evidence-based design;

2. Computer vision, panoramic vision technology, urban information modeling (CIM);

3. Data-driven architectural design methods, parametric translation and activation of classical gardens.

Dr. Zhu Haipeng is a lecturer at the School of Architecture, Southeast University, and a visiting scholar at ETH Zurich (2018–2019). His research focuses on visual information analysis and simulation in built environments, spatial cognition and behavior in built environments, and data-driven architectural design pedagogy.

2. Publications

Authored over 10 papers in high-impact international journals and conferences, including:

• · “Sustainable Cities and Society ”(SCI-Q1, CAS 1区 Top, IF: 10.5):
  “A Method of Estimating the Spatiotemporal Distribution of Reflected Sunlight from Glass Curtain Walls in High-rise Business  Districts using Street-view Panoramas”—proposed a street-view panorama-based method for estimating spatiotemporal sunlight reflection distribution in urban environments.

• · “Frontiers of Architectural Research” (A&HCI-Q1, IF: 3.1):
  “Effects of Scenery Frame on Visual Depth Perception in Classical Chinese Gardens: A Case Study of the Lvyin Pavilion in Lingering Garden”—validated the mechanism of framed scenery techniques on spatial depth perception using physiological measurements and CAVE-based VR experiments.

• · “Landscape Architecture” (Peking University Core):
  “Panoramic Technology-Based Visual Analysis of Garden Touring Experience: A Case Study of Lingering Garden”—developed a dynamic visual analysis framework for environmental perception using panoramic imaging.
