The Research On The Space Design Of The University Students' Apartment House

The present thesis is mainly intended to study the space of students' apartments in institutes of higher education.The students' apartments in institutes of higher education are the significant components of the campus architecture. The apartments are the important sites where university students can carry on their study, participate in social activities, and get along with their life living on campus. With the rapid economic development of our society and the continuous deepening of educational reform, the urgent demand of the people in our nation for higher education has greatly promoted the vigorous development of higher education in our country. Ever since 1999, the institutes of higher education in our country have been expanding in successive years their recruitment of students, which has contributed to the entry of higher education into the stage of popularization, and has brought about the high tide of the construction of students' apartments. As the breakthrough point for the reform of the socialization of logistics in institutes of higher education, the students' apartments in institutes of higher education have become the focus of attention for numerous people.The present study is based on the domestic and overseas theoretic researches and practices in fields related to university apartmen. Through the analyses of the status quo of our country and the developmental tendency of students' apartments in institutes of higher education, the present thesis, which has adopted both methods of questionnaires and interviews, and has specialized the changes of university students' psychological and behavioral models in different stages, starts with students' evaluation of the degree of satisfaction and their actual residential requirements, and attempts to work out the techniques and principles of designing students' apartment space which can not only suit the status quo of our country but can meet the residential and living requirements of university students. Meanwhile, during the study, the author utilizes not only the architectural theory and design methodology but also the knowledge from various subjects such as sociology, economics, psychology and aesthetics.The thesis is divided into six chapters: Chapter one is the introduction, which is mainly intended to introduce the research background, to address the research significance and define the concepts concerned and the research status quo, to elaborate related theories and researches, and to clarify the methodology and procedure.Chapter two summarizes and compares the residential state and apartment characteristics of the universities at home and abroad. It presents an elementary understanding of the inadequacy of university students' apartments in our country.In chapter three, with the investigation and analysis of different cases of university students' residential state, more problems are found which exist in reality among university students' apartments and need to be solved.Chapter four is an analysis of the essential elements of university students' apartments, including the understanding of university students' physiological and psychological characteristics, the analysis of their behavioral models, and the realization of university students' physiological and psychological demands.Chapter five is intended to further analyze the space of university students' apartments, and to explore the functional composition, the way to arrange the space of residential units, the spatial measure, the physical environment, and the furniture facilities of university students' apartments which are suitable for students' behavioral models. In this chapter, the related designing outline and mode of thinking are put forward as well.The last chapter is the conclusion of the present thesis that figures out the principles of the university students' apartment design: the flexible design principle, the identified design principle, the humanism design principle, the diversified design principle and the intelligent design principle.
