My final design gets rid of the previous shape that each unit were connected by a bridge. But the new shape still keep the Plan idea in minds--the building as a whole divided into many sections and each section attaches to its neighborhood directly. The circular shape corresponds to the round house. It looks more concentrated and convenient. In this project I much more focus on the human scale. The space of each department area should be reasonable.

EXP3-Mashup (Redone)

Evidence-based design permits an architect to evaluate a design, and variations of that design, to design things that have the quality of life, that possess wholeness. We know the result is going to be more adaptive since we check each intermediate stage of an evolving design. In practical terms, A design can adapts through focusing the human scale and making Ornament and function go together. Clearly, Even if you’re working on a master plan for a part of the city, you’re probably not going to think well at that large scale if you’re not also sensitized to the human impact at the person-sized scale. Also, there is no structure in nature that can be classified as pure ornament without function. But a “simple” function without complexity does not give a good solution. Some standard building typologies copied over and over, but are never tested for evidence of their adaptation.  Those untested environments may in fact be stressful or otherwise harmful to their users. Any influence the object or place has on the user is part of its function. But any ornament will certainly also impact the user, so the actual experience cannot separate any particular aspect as pure function. It is clear that a progression in scale is mirrored by a progression in time. To achieve the highest possible environmental performance for the building, Architect should provides the building’s context “celebrated scale”.

EXP3: MASH UP

This project possible is an example of Neo-Brutalism: The main forming idea of this building lies in the geometrical involvement of two loops tied to each other. These loops are in fact an abstract version of introverted pattern taken from vernacular architecture. The most logical shape for the loop would therefore be a sphere which could maximize daylight to the floors, provide a variety of flexible floor arrangements, and maintain an ideal central circulation system. Modularity was employed with pure geometric forms, and buildings were conceived as behavioral devices. It not only reflects Neo-Brutalism has strong diagrammatic geometries represented in form, but also re-emphasizes the notion that the geometry is imposed upon the users.  Herein, the loops which earlier used to shape central court yards in a horizontal order are tied in a vertical manner for reaching different building levels and connecting the interior spaces to surrounding exterior. Even though the spherical exterior was ultimately abandoned for this project, Architects attempted to preserve the underlying concept of a large middle floor with tapered, smaller floors below and above. Another distinctive characteristic of the building is to employ the use of glass and steel instead of concrete. By gradually changing the palette of materials, this technique professes a more open architecture.
