One aspect is mainly about the architectural types themselves. Firstly, the author discusses the concept of function and architectural type. Secondly, analyses some examples of type changing in order to sum up some commonalities. Thirdly, with the theory of architecture planning, the author classifies a new set of architectural types. This new classification is based on the spatial utilization, and this can help us comprehend architectural types better. Finally, the author gets a kind of all-purpose design pattern after comparing three different theory and examples.The other aspect is about the changes of architectural types in cities.

Obviously this situation is not suited to the development of economy and our rapid urbanization, so this part discusses the changes that marketing economy brings to these architectural types in cities and the actual need for complex.After summarizing the two aspects, the author gives some advice on architectural type design.
