Design Strategies

1. “Concentration” – We use “Blocks” instead of “Rooms” to define the interior layout, so the spaces with similar attributes are connected tightly, thus the circulation spaces are reduced, also the blocks provide flexibilities for future re-organization. There are four different blocks – Large open office areas, independent single offices, event spaces, and service area.

2. “Homogeneity” – Within the large blocks, there are groups of homogeneous small blocks in a police branch office. The small blocks include armory, equipment room, chief and supervisor office, they act as the controller of the large blocks, so they have to spread out to gain the maximized control vision.

3. “Connection” – “Voids” are used to link large blocks: the largest void is placed between large open offices and independent single offices, and forms a 3-story-tall atrium. The ground level of atrium is connected with entrance plaza, so it becomes a “mall” for people to interact with policemen. The horizontal void on the 2nd to 3rd floor also acts as a “wind tunnel” of this building’s micro-climate. The big window-less opening on the south-west corner allows summer breeze to flow through, and lower down the interior temperature to minimize the air-conditioned capacity.
