Description of evaluation methods and relative weight.

Evaluation factors	Descriptions	Weights
Rhythmicity (E1)	The constituent elements of the form offers an arrangement of structured repetition and alternation, bringing a visual aesthetics of continuity	0.131
Proportionality (E2)	The size and quantity of each constituent element of the form meet a certain scale, conveying a sense of beauty	0.398
Balance (E3)	The constituent elements of the form maintain a visual balance of forces	0.118
Layering (E4)	Whether the constituent elements of the form convey a sense of layering, and show the varying characteristics of different layer	0.071
Concordance (E5)	Whether the constituent elements of the form are in harmony with each other, creating a relatively coherent sense of form	0.282
