Abstract
Abstract The independent super high-rise building weakens and reduces the cooperation of functional subsystems. Implanting aerial courtyards could improve the aerial environment of that corresponding floor and enable the plane courtyards to be stereoscopic. Constructing multiple aerial courtyard-centred functional clusters of higher floors can optimise the overall space structural relationship. The paper uses the space syntax theory to discuss how to construct holistically linked aerial courtyards in a super high-rise building and applies the Grasshopper-based space syntax arithmetic logical unit to analyse and calculate the aerial courtyard of super high-rise building in different space structure modes, and also proposes design optimisation strategies based on these analyses. The paper points out that by setting aerial courtyard between vertical transportation space and functional space, establishing a direct connection between adjacent aerial courtyards, arranging vertical transportation space dispersedly and so on, it is possible to promote vertical cooperative effect, enhance integration and intelligibility of entire space structure, and provide guidelines and foundation for the construction of vertical cities.
Highlights
In traditional architectures, courtyard space is the core for organising transportation and function, and the place for group interaction [1], which affects the design and usage of architectural space in various aspects
Aerial courtyard implanted in super high-rise building increases a space type different from traditional ones, optimises architectural space structure, modifies a building’s own functional system and can operate stably for a long term
In the aspect of architectural function, aerial courtyard, as an interaction space, can effectively promote people’s spontaneous activities, and stimulate the vitality inside a building; from space structure, aerial courtyard functions as a multi-function adaptive space and its connecting area is distributed in different functional module which can adapt to capacity expansion of different functional modules, and promotes interaction between functional modules, so as to optimise architectural space structure
Summary
Courtyard space is the core for organising transportation and function, and the place for group interaction [1], which affects the design and usage of architectural space in various aspects. Aerial courtyard implanted in super high-rise building increases a space type different from traditional ones, optimises architectural space structure, modifies a building’s own functional system and can operate stably for a long term. The paper uses the space syntax theory and method, integrates relevant software to predict the space use modes objectively and scientifically, and quantitatively analyses the optimisation of spatial topological relations and space structure by implanting aerial courtyards [5]. By this way, the decision-makers can be provided with theoretical basis and data support for the design of aerial courtyard, and the research can have better design guidance significance. By using Grasshopper-based space syntax arithmetic, the spatial topological structure of super high-rise building under different space organising modes is analysed and worked out [9], and the influence of aerial courtyard on space structure of super high-rise building and its acting mechanism are discussed
