| Summary: | 碩士 === 中原大學 === 室內設計研究所 === 97 === Under the premise of limited resources on Earth, sustainable development in buildings has become the focus in architecture. An “open architecture” that adapts to time and function has always been the topic of discussion. However, most of the recent studies on “open architecture” have solely focused on the flexible change within a dwelling unit. This study intents to explore the flexibilities between different dwelling units through design experiments, i.e. flexible spatial change between the units.
The above mentioned design experiments consist of two phases: the first phase comprises of the generating of four groups of dwelling units, and brief discussions on the mechanism for the flexible change between the units. After that, these four groups of units are vertically integrated as a community complex. Then, the following 4 criterions about this complex are evaluated: the best effects between space expansion, circulation system, intermediary space and ground floor relationship. The results from the first phase of the design experiment are used as the basis for the second phase. With modified units, this study continues with the mechanism for the flexible change between the units. In the second stage, there are five groups of dwelling units generated that can be arranged both horizontally, as well as vertically to form a new community complex.
After two stages of design experiments, this study shows that to achieve a successful flexible change between the units, one must adjust the spatial sequence within each unit, as well as the interfaces between the units. Further findings are as follows:
1. There is a close relationship between the flexible change of the dwelling units and their interfaces.
2. The spatial sequence of each unit has direct influence on the possibilities of the flexible changes of the units.
3. To guarantee a successful flexible change between the units, the location of the LDKs (living room, dining room and kitchen) should be preassigned at the same horizontal level, as well as on the same vertical axis.
4. The self-created half-story dwelling units increase the connection area between the units, thus improve the opportunity for flexible change.
