This study aims to explore the complex relationship between perceptual and cognitive interactions in multimodal data analysis,with a specific emphasis on spatial experience design in overseas Chinese gardens. It is found that evaluation content and images on social media can reflect individuals' concerns and sentiment responses, providing a rich data base for cognitive research that contains both sentimental and image-based cognitive information. Leveraging deep learning techniques, we analyze textual and visual data from social media, thereby unveiling the relationship between people's perceptions and sentiment cognition within the context of overseas Chinese gardens. In addition, our study introduces a multi-agent system (MAS)alongside AI agents. Each agent explores the laws of aesthetic cognition through chat scene simulation combined with web search. This study goes beyond the traditional approach of translating perceptions into sentiment scores, allowing for an extension of the research methodology in terms of directly analyzing texts and digging deeper into opinion data. This study provides new perspectives for understanding aesthetic experience and its impact on architecture and landscape design across diverse cultural contexts, which is an essential contribution to the field of cultural communication and aesthetic understanding.
