| Abstract |
This research aims to investigate the functional composition and spatial structure of planning method on elementary school and to present the planning method for it. 40 schematic designs of Elementary Schools are analyzed. Two methods are used for investigation. First, spatial composition which has been intuitively used by architects is examined about the relations between function and mass. Second, J-graph analysis is adopted from space syntax methods to analyze spatial configuration. The J-graph analysis shows the degree of spatial hierarchy and of control among adjacent space in the network of buildings and space. The research findings are, firstly, the buildings and spaces classified by their function have characteristic value by spatial structure analysis; secondly, the planning types made same functional composition have another spatial hierarchy. This research suggests that the spatial structure method is needed to complement on the existing functional composition method on planning of elementary schools. |
