Project 3: Art Gallery, Shop/House - Design Generational Process

The Generation and configuration of the Programs and interior circulation - First of all, after study of the site and the brief, the programs have been identified: lobby, reception, indoor garden, coffee shop, restroom, loading area, storage room, gallery space, workshop, office, roof garden... The configuration of programs is based on the site analyse, for example the position of coffee shop which in the left conner of site reflecting the previous site condition, because originally there was a popular coffee shop on the left conner of site, to place the new coffee shop in its originally position will bring the memory back to the original customers, to preserve the memory and preserve the old customer, indeed increase the people follow though the gallery. In addition, the residential part facing the back residential building, in order to conceive the residential atmosphere for living and make the building connecting to its surrounding.

The Generation of Parti for maximise the Penetration of Pedestrians - In order to maximize pedestrians penetration though the gallery, it need the preserve the penetration through the site if that is no building construction on the site. As the result, the pedestrians can walk though the gallery like there is no building, to conceive this nature circulation path will encourage the maximum penestration though the building.

The Generation of Exterior Shape - The exterior shape is gnerated by the nature movement of the pedestrains though the conner (the blue line in the diagram)

The Generation of "DNA" for the Gallery - The red line indicates that the nature penetration though the site if the site does not have building construction. In order to preserve this penetraiton, the program has been shaped by this Parti, indeed this diagrame become the "DNA" of this gallery, the structure, circulation and form will generate by this diagram.

This is the ground floor of gallery, the blue line indicates the public penetration. As the result of using the "DNA" code of gallery to generate form, the gallery perfectly preserve the nature penetration through the site.
