Project
Our Project is about the gradience between the private and public. The design effort lies in the transition space between the streetscape and the buildings. This concept creates the contrast between flexible buildings and the identity holding interface landscape.
conception
Our design challenge is to create a site with evolving identity which serves the spatial affordance of certain activities in dynamically changing programmatic context.
TYPOLOGY RESEARCH
We studied different commercial typologies and measured their levels between the public and private space.
Catering
For the cafeteria, more public activities happen in the catering hall.
It has a progressive relation because of the different needs of privacy.
For the catering space,the dinning hall is an main public space and it is connected by the entrance and exit.
The level of public activity in the fast food shop is related to the main street outside.The waiting hall is lively.
Shopping
For the supermarket,the entrance and the check out place have many public activities besides the shopping space.
For the service trading space，Most public activities happen in the service space and rest area.
The square has the highest level of public activities and it influences the inner space of the dress shop greatly.
It has a progressive relation among the different spaces in the bookshop. The entrance hall has a high level of public.
Others
The main public place is the reception desk and the cash machine where people can deal with their problems more quickly.
Although the exhibition space has a large space,it has really low level of public activities.The entrance hall and the gift shopping are more public
POROCITY RESEARCH
From the description of PoroCity lab:
PoroCity will start from Walter Benjamin´s and Siegfried Kracauers notion of porosity as a model of the mutual penetration of public and private life and its potential of reading the city as multilayered system in continuous change. PoroCity refers to the measure of void space in a material sense, but also connects to concepts of improvisation,permeability, elasticity and resilience regarding the urban environment.
Introduced in the 1920ies as a critique of modernist urban planning, the notion of porosity reconnects infrastructural means and civic life. Porosity allows for all ranges of scale, planned and unplanned built form, public and private realms as well as orchestrated and informal courses of action.
