Abstract：With the increased modernization of urban houses and the diversification of residence supply in China,creating residential spaces that combine ecological benefits and foster community interaction in high-density urban environments has become a crucial issue in residential design.As a key trend in collective housing,high-rise garden residences integrate sky gardens with modern residential buildings,thus relieving the conflict between urban density and ecological needs to a certain extent.However,current research on high-rise garden residences primarily focuses on ecological benefits and technical applications,but it lacks in-depth explorations on the relationship between the layout typology and behavior patterns of residents.This limits the potential of high-rise garden residences to improve the living quality of residents and promote social interaction.In recent years,high-rise garden residences have been increasingly affected by both policy incentives and market demand.The increasing market demand for high-quality living spaces and the natural environment promotes the development of high-rise garden residences.However,early designs mainly focused on the layering of architectural forms and the introduction of vertical greening,resulting in shortcomings in spatial privacy,circulation between functional spaces,and effective transitions between public and private zones.Therefore,further exploration of spatial layout typologies is needed.Moreover,a deeper understanding of the connotations of modern living culture are required to better organize spatial layouts and create stronger connections between residents and their high-rise garden spaces,thus satisfying the evolving residential needs of contemporary society.
From the perspective of the spatial composition,this study first employs convex space analysis methods that are suitable to study residential spaces.It reviews the latest studies on the characteristics of residential spatial composition,focusing on layout configurations and spatial composition features.Further,a case study based on high-rise garden residences in Fuzhou is carried out.A total of nine residential communities from different regions with various layout types are chosen as samples.Detailed survey results and data regarding these samples are collected.Secondly,spatial topology diagrams and integration distribution maps are plotted for each sample.In addition,core integration,circulation patterns,and plane arrangement are compared.Finally,four types of high-rise garden residential layouts are identified through data aggregation and statistical analysis,thus realizing systematic classification and summary of current practices in high-rise garden residence design.
On this basis,the study interprets the spatial composition characteristics from four dimensions:the spatial components,spatial zones,spatial structure,and spatial transitions.It not only identifies the underlying spatial logic behind the spatial composition features of high-rise garden residences with different layout configurations,but also explores the functional attributes of various spatial components and their relationship with the overall space.Through an analysis of spatial integration and topological depth,this study reveals the relationships between the living,sleeping,and resting areas,along with their impact on residents'behavior patterns.
Additionally,this study further clarifies how space influences residents'movement patterns and privacy needs by analyzing the characteristics of spatial structures and the role of transitional spaces in dividing and connecting different areas.Subsequently,the compatibility between residential layout configurations and residents was discussed from the perspectives of the usage frequency,functional requirements,behavior patterns,and privacy needs.It also explores the layout principles and optimization strategies for current high-rise garden residences,providing theoretical support and reference models for the future diversified development of such residences.
