TOC Preface This PhD research project originally began at South China University of Technology (SCUT), as a part of the research project about sports building design in Prof. Yimin Sun’s team in the School of Architecture, SCUT. The research project focuses on the integration of the multi-functional space and long-span roof structure of indoor arena during architectural conceptual design, which is crucial for the indoor arena designs and is always emphasized during the design practice in Prof. Sun’s team. The author obtained related knowledge about long-span structure during his study in SCUT during 2004 to 2008 as a bachelor student majored in civil engineering, and obtained related knowledge and experience about the conceptual design of indoor arenas during his study in SCUT as a Master student majored in architectural design and in his design practice in Prof. Sun’s team during 2009 to 2012. From July 2015, funded by China Scholarships Committee (CSC, from July 2015 to June 2017) and SCUT (from July 2017 to June 2018) and based on the agreement on joint supervision and double degree of doctoral research singed by SCUT and TUD in 2014, this research project is continuous in the chair of TOI in the faculty of architecture and the built environment, Delft University of Technology (TUD), within the framework of USE (SCUT-TU Delft Joint Research Centre on Urban Systems & Environment). Based on the long-term research on computational design in TOI, the research project introduces various computational methods and techniques to support the integration of the multi-functional space and long-span roof structure of indoor arenas, and aims at proposing a design method to make substantive contributions both the fields of indoor arena designs and computational design. TOC TOC Acknowledgement After eight years (from September 2012), this research is finally done. The dissertation is a description and conclusion for the current work and also a milestone for my whole academic life, based on which, future work will be developed in different directions. Here, I would like to appreciate the generous help of many people, without which I cannot finish the research. First, I would like to appreciate the generous help of my promotors, Prof. dr. ir. Yimin Sun and Prof. dr. ir. Sevil Sariyildiz. From 2009, I do my research as a master student and then a Ph.D. candidate under the guidance of Prof. Sun. During these years, I learnt various knowledge about the architectural design of indoor arenas from him, which provides the main foundation of this research. Besides, based on his support, I was involved in design projects of various large-scale public buildings and urban environments. In these practical projects, I gained adequate knowledge and experience about architectural and urban design, which are crucial for this research. In 2015, based on the recommendation of Prof. Sun and the funding provided by China Scholarship Committee (CSC), I had a chance to continue this research at Delft University of Technology (TUD). In TUD, Prof. Sariyildiz received me at the Chair of Design Informatics (TOI). Under her guidance, I began my research about computational design and combined it with the original research about the conceptual design of indoor sports arenas. Without her guidance and encouragement, I could not finish this research. I still clearly remember that around 2015 to 2016 when I cannot find a specific research direction and lost confidence, Sevil encouraged me and gave me confidence. She led me to think about the big picture and the whole storyline about the research work time and time again and guide me to finish the research proposal and go/ no go report. With her encouragement and guidance, I passed my go/ no go meeting and finished the research work. I would also appreciate the generous help of my daily supervisors, Dr. Michela Turrin and Prof. dr. ir. Christian Louter. In 2014, with the introduction of Michela, I had the chance to apply for a Ph.D. position in TUD. During my research in TUD, Michela and Christian provided generous help and guided me to finish a series of research tasks and papers. Even though Christian cannot be listed as co-promotor finally, he had provided lots of supports and guided the research as a co-promotor. Besides, I would also appreciate the supports from Dr. Martin Tenpierik in the acoustic aspects of the research. TOC I would also like to appreciate the generous help of two Chinese ladies in TUD, Ms. Lily Li and Ms. Bo Song. Lily is my alumna in SCUT and also a staff in the Faculty of Technology, Policy and Management of TUD. She facilitated the collaboration between SCUT and TUD, based on which I have the chance to do my research between the two Universities. Besides, she also provides lots of suggestions and helps for my work and living, which supports me to finish my research work. Bo is our secretary in TOI. She supports our daily work in the faculty. Besides, she also provided generous help and valuable suggestions for my work and my communications with promoters and supervisors. I would also thank my Chinese friends in TUD, Qingpeng Li (李清鹏), Yu Chen (陈 宇), Yi Xia, Dadi Zhang (张达頔), Tiantian Du (杜甜甜), Yuting Tai (邰玉婷), Mei Liu ( 刘美), Yu-chou Chiang (姜遇洲), Emeline Lin (林宓), Nan Bai (白楠), Meng Meng (孟 梦), Langzi Chang (常浪子), Biyue Wang (王碧月), Anxiao Zhang (张安晓), Xiaocou Zheng (郑响凑), Qin Qin (秦琴), Kaiyue Yang (杨凯越), Penglin Zhu (朱鹏霖), Yan Song (宋岩), Muxi Lei (雷慕曦), Liang Xiong (熊亮), Danhua Xu (徐丹华), Henran Yang (杨赫然), Xiaoyu Yuan (袁小雨), Xiaoyu Du (杜小宇) and my colleagues and friends in Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment, Mikta Farid Alkadri, Berk Ekici, Cemre çubukçuoğlu, Pirouz Naurian, Paul de Ruiter, Henry Kiksen, Hans Hoogenboom, Daniena, Tessa Vermeulen, Andrew Borgart, Peter Eigenraam, Nick ten Caat, Dr. Marcin, Prof. dr. ir.
