Prompt Description

A technical roadmap for academic research, presented in an information visualization style with a clean white background. The central element is a circular closed loop formed by four clockwise arrows connected end-to-end, representing the four cyclical stages of the research. Inside the loop, the four stages are labeled clockwise from top to bottom: '1. Theoretical Origin Tracing and Genealogy Construction,' '2. Element Identification and System Refinement,' '3. Translation Mechanism and Method Construction,' and '4. Empirical Verification and Theoretical Improvement.' Branching lines extend outward from each stage module, connecting to icons and keywords representing the core methods used in that stage. Stage 1 connects to: an ancient book icon (documentary research), an icon of superimposed landscape painting and map (iconographic analysis), and an icon comparing different city plan views (typological comparison). Stage 2 connects to: an icon juxtaposing poetic text and a simple mountain sketch (poetic and pictorial corroboration), an icon of superimposed satellite imagery and historical maps (visual form analysis), and a questionnaire speech bubble icon (perception survey). Stage 3 connects to: an icon of abstract geometric figure evolution (design prototype deduction), a computer screen displaying a 3D landscape scene icon (multi-media context construction), and an illustrated book icon (artistic guidelines). Stage 4 connects to: a drawing board and design drawing icon (design-based research), and icons representing divergent and convergent thinking (critical reflection). At the bottom of the diagram, an arrow extending from the loop points to the final outcomes: 'Regional Design Theoretical Framework and Method System,' 'Design Guidelines and Strategy Set,' and 'Empirical Design Achievements.' The overall color scheme is stable, using primarily dark blue, gray, and academic green, with smooth lines and clear fonts. The style is inspired by charts and diagrams found in top academic journals.
