However, the real urban scenes are often rather different from the abstraction of the urban image in people's minds. In the real urban scene, usually, there will be a combination of two or more ‘urban image’ elements, such as the Landmark company with the Node, the Path also act as the Edges which combine the Nodes or the Landmarks to contribute rhythm and decoration. Significantly, the patterns of urban image composition are specific, not random. This paper will discuss the patterns of ‘urban image’ composition, its types and distribution in a certain historical city. Based on the image survey of the ‘European district’ (built by German colonists, 1897–1914) in Qingdao, China, the paper empirically constructs the system of urban image ‘Composite Pattern’ and statistical of certain pattern types with the highest frequency. Meanwhile, inspired by the ‘picturesque theory’ (Gordon Cullen) which emphasizes a series of viewpoints, continuous images, and the structured ‘mental landscape’, the paper makes an investigation on the connection and switching of the adjacent Composite Patterns, to find out the distribution laws of various ‘Patterns’ in urban space. Revealing the laws of urban image structure, which benefit to get a better understanding of the value elements and landscape organization with the historical cities. Compared with the ‘urban image (Lynch)’ of the mental picture, the actual urban scene is more vivid and has a richer ‘sense of design’, and its related research will also provide a more direct reference for urban design.enDla wszystkich w zakresie dozwolonego użytkuFair use conditionurban image composite patternKevin LynchGordon CullenQingdaowzór złożony obrazu miejskiegokonferencja - rozdziałLicencja PŁLUT License10.34658/9788367934039.164
