摘要:

Many large cities suffering from over-population have too many people living in low-rise houses at an excessive density. Vacant land is usually not easy to procure in a densely developed city. This paper discusses the design of tower blocks with open spaces between them. A formula is developed for the distance required between blocks to ensure solar access, considered essential for thermal comfort in winter, when there is no heating.

摘要:

This article deals with the architecure of flexibility. It attempts to define certain basic principles for the development of the attribute of flexibility in architectural systems and to demonstrate the role of the hierarchical organization of sub-systems as a general means of providing flexibility and adaptability. One of these basic principles is the physical separation of building functions into a series of hierarchically ordered sub-systems. In addition to enhancing flexibility, the principle of separation has the additional attribute of providing a means for architects to address social questions within the framework of a total architectural theory. A second principle, that of indeterminate design, is defined and differentiated from functionalist theory.
