When designing buildings, architectural designers interpret elements from Chinese civilization, such as China's ancient literature, Chinese metaphysics, Chinese paintings and the theory of Confucianism to form buildings in a direct or abstract manner. The latent "Chineseness" exist in buildings created from the interpretation of such elements. Therefore, the latent "Chineseness" of buildings is shown in various aspects and could be recognized in the text description of buildings. In this research, the objective is to reveal how architectural designers envision "Chineseness" in their design processes and embody it in buildings through analyzing the text descriptions of the architectural designers.
