Based on the “Seven-View Method” proposed by Professor Wang Bomin as the methodology, this paper further clarifi es the manifestation of Colin Rowe’s “phenomenal transparency” theory. It demonstrates the impact of Chinese gardens on the spatial cognition of Western modern architecture. The phenomenon of transparency in Western modern architecture is mainly refl ected in the “formal layering” and “homogeneous gaze” of space. In contrast, the spatial experience method of the “Seven-View Method” guides “wandering viewing” through the dynamic intervention of the body and integrates multidimensional mental images to form a “combination of six distances”, thereby constructing a non-homogeneous spatial form with the aesthetic characteristics of Eastern aesthetics. Taking the Humble Administrator’s Garden and the Barcelona Pavilion as examples, this paper discusses the continuity of the “Seven-View Method” in its spatio-temporal relationship and its ability to address the limitations of fi xed-point viewing and instantaneous freezing in the phenomenon of transparency. It also verifi es the design transformation method of “wandering viewing transparency” through contemporary architectural space practices such as the Suzhou Museum and the Red Brick Art Museum, advocating the reconstruction of cultural subjectivity in spatial cognition in the context of globalization and providing a cross-cultural paradigm for design thinking and spatial innovation.
