Abstract: This paper firstly introduces the types of architectural space for display. They are usually distinguished by the different nature and characteristics, in order to facilitate the selection and use in the design space. Then, the composition of the indoor space is introduced, which includes the ground, walls and top surface. Finally, the method of architecture space design for the commercial display is presented. According to the size and shape of space, the rational decoration is employed to create the application, the appearance of the indoor environment. The design of indoor ground and wall to set off people, furniture and furnishings background, and the top surface of the differences in the design of indoor space is full of change.

Abstract: Healthcare facilities design is a complex and dynamic process that considers meeting the needs of each of its stakeholders. The design becomes more complex when it involves building for particular user groups with non-standard specification. The Nigerian healthcare delivery system like many other health care systems in developing countries requires active participation of the patient's family member. However, the hospital setting in Nigeria has not been configured to accommodate their stay. This qualitative study is carried out to explore the extent of family participation in caring for their hospitalised ones with a view to identify design indices that will guide Nigerian hospital ward design. Data was obtained through observation and unstructured interview in a typical adult male and female surgical wards in one of the tertiary hospitals in Nigeria. Data was analysed using classical content analysis method. The result shows the design indices generated from patient's families involvement required in the Nigerian hospital ward configuration.

Abstract: Tange Kenzo owns a significant position in the modern architecture field,not just in Japan, but also world-wide. Japan even divided the history of modern architecture into two parts: before and after Tange Kenzo, from where we can find out his prestige in Japanese architecture field. The first work from Tange Kenzo which attracted people’s attention is the one that won the first prize in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park International Competition. After that, Tange Kenzo designed more projects at the national level, including the projects of Olympic games and World Expo. Among them the most famous project goes to design of Yoyogi National Gymnasium in host venue for Tokyo Olympic games in 1964. Yoyogi National Gymnasium is a mark proves that the level of architecture technology and design of Japan reached or even exceed the standard of advanced western country. Therefore Tange Kenzo was also known as ”World’s Tange”. This paper is trying to get more knowledge of the design method and reveal the design world by analyzing design works of this world-wide master of architecture - Tange Kenzo.

Abstract: With the accelerating pace of city construction, high-rise buildings are gradually in the process of city development plays a more and more important role. In this paper, design of a high-rise building are analyzed, and puts forward the high-rise building design should be based on city space planning, as far as possible to reduce the interference to the city space environment. The design ideas of coordination, integration, humanity are also proposed, so as to enhance the image of high-rise buildings and the city's environmental quality.

Abstract: The resort area located near the pastoral scenery district and lay more emphasis on the internal space of comfort and landscape than the urban hotel.The spatial patterns of courtyard as the center of the village,the courtyard space in the resort can create shared space in the resort ，which is different from the urban hotel.By analyzing the patterns of the courtyard space of traditional dwellings in the resort, combining with the courtyard layout of Wu Yi Mountain Villa Hotel and the banyan tree Li jiang , we discuss the important role of the courtyard space in architectural design of the resort.

Abstract: The Baroque Style shop-houses has become a local architectural characteristics in Qi Shan district, Kaohsiung city, Taiwan today. However, the residents had carry out the building alterations styles themselves in unification to improve the living environment which mostly depend on their own needs to renew or reconstruction and resulting the derogation of historical features. Therefore, by way of “partially preserved and partially alterations” to conducted the landscaping preservation of shop-houses, while “historical landscape preservation line” and “mass control” as the two ways of research methods in simulated preservation and alterations of building. Look forward to the equilibrium of preservation historical landscaping for shop-houses and building alterations to consistent both needs of preservation and alterations. From two case studies on the traditional shop-house, in Qishan Dist, Kaohsiung city, Taiwan, we surveyed to understand what spaces the dwellers need, when they live in their traditional shop-houses for contemporary life. And we simulated renewal to work out the minimal preservation space by “volume control”. Results of this study showed that the house's length would affect the minimal preservation space, the shorter house is “the historical arcade”, and the longer house is “the historical arcade and the first atrium”.

Abstract: The building custom of Hui nationality has a distinctive characteristics of this nation and distinguishing features of art which is closely related to this nation’s production, life and religious beliefs. Through the analysis of the art characteristics of Hui architecture, we can further understand the aesthetic essence of it.

Abstract: Following the rapid growth of cities and changes which are seen in the way of living, a lot of old buildings and many historical houses have become exhausted. Various needs of the modern human have affected towns and ancient monuments amazingly fast and if we neglect them, none of the values obtained during the centuries will be maintained. However, half a century’s experience shows that we have to intervene, design and develop these ancient spaces. Intervention and design with the aim of providing the newest facilities to live with respect to the principles shaping historical spaces not only would not damage the spirit of the ancient historical spaces, but also they would improve the values of our ancient monuments and historical sites. As can be seen in the rest of the paper, the methodology of this research consists of a combination of strategies. In fact, the effective factors in the success or failure of the integration and development of the historical buildings are defined and finally, applying contemporary architecture with an interactive approach in development is proposed.
