Keys and Tactics of Existing Barracks Spatial Layout Optimization

Abstract

Spatial layout optimization is a core of existing barracks renewal. Distinguishing from new built barracks, existing barrack spatial layout optimization needs to pay more attention to solve the contradiction between current and future. So in this chapter, we develop six primary design keys applied to existing barracks including harmony relations between barrack and its surrounding environment, emphasis on weakness construction, optimize allocation, improve security defense capabilities, enhance artistry of spatial layout and realize the whole structure optimization. Reference to ancient classical fortification thoughts and current construction conditions, we also explore 5 tactics to optimize existing barracks spatial layout , namely, function integration method, node co-ordinate method, axis control method, three-dimensional space construction method, as well as idle land reuse method. Finally, we choose one tipical case to integrated apply the above keys and tactics from theoretical and practical fields promoting the sustainable development of existing barrack .
