TOPOGRAPHIC MALL INTEGRATING NATURE-INSPIRED DESIGN PRINCIPLES IN ARCHITECTURE

ABSTRACT

THIS DISSERTATION INVESTIGATES HOW TO ALLEVIATE THE SHORTAGE OF GREEN SPACE IN HIGH-DENSITY URBAN AREAS. IT EXPLORES A DESIGN APPROACH THAT INTEGRATES GREEN PLANTS INTO HIGH-RISE MIXED-USE BUILDINGS, ESPECIALLY THE GREEN PLANTS GROWING ON VERTICAL SPACE AND BUILDING FACADE OF A HIGH-RISE BUILDING. TO DEVELOP SPECIFIC DESIGN PRINCIPLES AND DESIGN METHODS, THIS STUDY CONDUCTS A LITERATURE REVIEW AND CASE STUDIES IN THE FOLLOWING TWO WAYS. FIRST, THIS STUDY EXPLORES THREE KEY THEMES THAT ARE REGARDED AS DESIGN CONCEPTS IN MY GRADUATION PROJECT, NAMELY VERTICAL GREENERY, SKY GARDEN, AND LOW-CARBON DESIGN. BASED ON THESE THEMES, THIS STUDY FURTHER EXPLORES THE IMPLIED DESIGN PRINCIPLES, WHICH INCLUDE (1) BALANCING ECOLOGY AND AESTHETICS, (2) ENSURING SPATIAL EQUITY, AND (3) SUSTAINABILITY. SECONDLY, SUPER HIGH-RISE BUILDINGS, MIXED-USE BUILDINGS, AND NATURE-INTEGRATED BUILDINGS ARE THREE TYPOLOGICAL CASES THAT ARE ANALYZED IN THIS STUDY. BASED ON AN ANALYSIS OF THESE CASES, THIS STUDY DEVELOPS THE FOLLOWING DESIGN METHODS THAT APPLY TO MY GRADUATION PROJECT: (1) DOUBLE-SKIN FACADE SYSTEM, (2) STRUCTURAL SYMBIOSIS, (3) HIERARCHICAL SKY GARDENS, AND (4) THREE-DIMENSIONAL GREEN NETWORK. TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW TO INCREASE GREEN SPACE IN HIGH-DENSITY URBAN AREAS, THIS STUDY DEVELOPS AN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN SCHEME IN ZONE D OF MACAU’S NEW TOWN. 本论文旨在研究如何缓解高密度城市区域的绿地短缺问题。它探索了一种将绿色植物融入高层综合用途建筑的设计方法，尤其关注在高层建筑的垂直空间和建筑外立面上生长的绿色植物。 为了形成具体的设计原则和设计方法，本研究通过以下两种方式开展了文献综述与案例研究。首先，本研究探讨了三个关键主题，这些主题被视为本人毕业设计中的设计理念，即垂直绿化、空中花园和低碳设计。基于这些主题，本研究进一步挖掘了其中隐含的设计原则，包括：（1）平衡生态与美学；（2）保障空间公平；（3）可持续性。其次，本研究对超高层建筑、综合用途建筑和自然融合型建筑这三类典型案例进行了分析。在案例分析的基础上，本研究总结出适用于本人毕业设计的以下设计方法：（1）双层表皮系统；（2）结构共生；（3）层级化空中花园；（4）三维绿色网络。为了更深入地理解如何在高密度城市区域增加绿地，本研究在澳门新城 D 区规划了一个建筑设计方案。
