| Summary: | 碩士 === 中原大學 === 建築研究所 === 92 === In favor of College of Design students, dormitory and design studio not only satisfy design students’ everyday needs in “Dwelling”, and “Learning” Space, they concurrently influence the development of a person’s character and learning capability. Up until the present moment, various types of local dormitory’s exterior facade appearance and facilities are found respectively. Some are known as five star hotels; some yet remain old-fashioned in which spaces and facilities appeared unable to fit today’s students’ basic needs. Whether the dormitory’s exterior appearance or facility is advanced or old-fashioned, the quality of designed space is found less in change or improvement constantly. Reasons apart from the authorship given from the university to the architect showing the design product in less innovation, researchers found limited reference available is another important factor.
CYCU has three female dormitories (including Xin-Wang, En-Ci, and Liang-Shan Buildings) at the present time. Among these buildings, Xin-Wang Building was planned as a male dormitory at early stage, and later transformed into a female dormitory due to the increase in female student numbers in days. Since Xin-Wang Building was aimed to design for male students at early stage, the functional spaces were found against female users’ needs. In addition, design students’ work schedule such as overnight drawings and model-making demands large storage space, impels students and teachers constantly respond to the University in requesting a distinctive “College of Design Students’ Dormitory” whether in the form of one complete building or level.
In complying with College of Design’s request, meanwhile improve the quality of dormitory, CYCU has come to a decision on an alteration of first and second floor in female Wang dormitory into design studio space. And combining the third floor, the originated dormitory space, as the distinctive female design student dormitory in the 92 academic year (2003).
“Design Research on the Renovation of Working and Living Environment --An Application for CYCU Female’s Dormitory” study involves female College of Design students in participating design, using “User” as the principal operator, and “Participating Design” as the operating theory, in coordination with concept of “Architecture Pattern Language”. In addition, interviews with university administration unit and dormitory supervisor, and researcher’s personal dormitory living experience in the Wang Building, assist in understanding the essential dormitory living environment and facility, as well as interactions between students and their real needs. The results gained from participating design in this study aims to assist future dormitory planning and design methods, including a complete university planning, too. Furthermore, the study aims in establishing a set of language pattern correlating studio and dormitory space, as a reference for future university planner when involved designing similar spaces.
