Public buildings Function and space combination
Public buildings Functional relationship and spatial combination of
Public buildings are places where people carry out social activities. Among the functional problems of public buildings, functional zoning, pedestrian evacuation, space composition and the connection between buildings and outdoor environment are the core issues. The outstanding problems are the nature of the use of architectural space and the flow of people.
Space composition of public buildings
Although the use nature and type of various public buildings are different, they can be divided into main use part, secondary use part (or auxiliary part) and traffic connection part. In the design, we should first grasp the relationship of these three major parts to arrange and combine, and solve various contradictory problems one by one, so as to achieve the rationality and perfection of the functional relationship. In the composition of these three parts, the allocation of traffic connection space often plays a key role.
The traffic connection part can generally be divided into three basic spatial forms: horizontal traffic, vertical traffic and hub traffic.
Horizontal traffic
Public buildings The space forms such as corridor, hall and corridor are often used. The design should be straightforward and avoid twists and turns. It should be closely connected with all parts of the space, with good lighting and ventilation.
