Research On The Design Of Atrium Of Commercial Shopping Center

In China,over the past few decades,commercial shopping center was booming with Chinese characteristics.In which the atrium space is not only a part of the space inside the shopping center,but also a special public space,and the design of it affects the overall quality of the shopping mall.With the changes of business models and behavior of consumer,the design of commercial shopping center atrium should respond to these questions.Facing new commercial building design context,there are still design optimization potential in many aspects,such as spatial scale,interface design,physical environment,fire and smoke,energy-saving and so on.The main part of this article includes five chapters.The first chapter describes the background and significance of the research question,and definite the connotation and extension of the concept which the paper research.Based on the summary of current research,the significance and innovation points of this paper were proposed.Research methodology and framework were stated in the end of this chapter.In Chapter 2,the history of commercial building atrium space development was combed,and the significances of commercial building atrium space were described from several aspects,such as commercial,transportation,recreation,landscape and so on.Then the atrium was classified according to different classification methods: by plan position,cross-sectional form and way of combination.Based on the previous text,in chapter 3,optimum design methods of commercial building atrium were summarized in six aspects: from space,interface,transportation,physical environment,fire protection and energy-saving,which can provide design theory and methods for the design practice later.In Chapter 4,under the guidance of the above theories and methods,there are 3 projects which the author designed and had been built,includes: MIXC in Wuxi,CapitaLand in Hongkou Shanghai and Shanghai Chia Tai Fun City.Case 1 focuses mainly on space design,interface design,transportation design and energy-saving;Case 2 focuses on spatial design and interface design and case 3 emphasizes on its transportation design and fire protection design.The fifth chapter is the full text summary and outlook,the direction of the atrium design optimization methods were summarized,and improvement direction in the future in the atrium of the shopping center were proposed...
