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”.
