Sustainable Building Design Development Knowledge Map: A Visual Analysis Using CiteSpace

Based on the Web of Science (WoS) core collection database, this article compares research results in subject area since 2000 with literature data theme sustainable architectural design and conducts an in-depth investigation into themes, basic literature, development trends, frontiers. Qualitative quantitative analyses were conducted through CiteSpace scientific visualization software, degree collaboration between authors, institutions, countries was analysed power. The topical hotspots their evolution explored a word frequency analysis, cluster timeline analysis; origins particular issue building conjunction mutation frontier explored. analysis co-citations used to identify important knowledge bases field; flow disciplines biplot overlay analysis. By interpreting map, it concluded that trends are mainly areas resource control, energy consumption, renewable materials, evaluation systems, computer-aided tools, so on. major topics future related discussed summarized.
