| Summary: | 碩士 === 逢甲大學 === 建築所 === 93 === In recent years, Taiwanese society has become more liberal, democratic and oriented towards quality. As a result, the education system in Taiwan has also undergone tremendous changes, one of which is reflected in the layout of the campus and its underlying ideology. The traditional campus layout was rigid and did not allow for flexibility in using the campus. Since now more outdoor activities are taking place in campuses, the old traditional campus layout had to be replaced by a three-dimensional design of an open space system which allows the university to cope with different kinds of uses by students, teachers, extra-curricular activities, etc.
For those school campuses which already have some form of open space systems it is easier to naturally generate various open space use patterns. Different types of open space systems facilitate various forms of interaction between students and faculty colleagues. Therefore, to establish a testing model of predicting behavior patterns which will occur in the open spaces of university campuses is useful to campus planners and designers. This is the main research issue of this dissertation.
The environmental factors considered in the testing model of this research cover spatial accessibility, depth and width of the visual range, degree of shadow-ness, etc. They are the three main factors taken into account to predict the space use patterns of the students. Thus, this research employs the Space Syntax methodology to analyze two-dimensional open space systems. In order to add the third dimension Ray Trace and Solar Envelope functions of the Microstation software were used. In the analytical process, the first step is to decode the dynamic (axial accessibility) and static (depth and width of visual range, degree of shadow-ness) space use patterns taking place in the open spaces of university campuses. The second step is to further study the correlation between these three spatial properties of the campus. In this way it is hoped that a three-dimensional testing model for predicting the space use patterns in university campuses can be established. The findings of this research indicate that the zoning of building volume has the strongest influence on pedestrian flow occurring in campuses, whereas the influence of axial accessibility is present but less pronounced. On the other hand, the study of the static space use pattern shows that the shadow-ness of the building has the strongest and most significant influence on static space use patterns, such as resting, waiting for friends, etc. Though this research has established a predicting model through case studies more research is needed to refine the model.
