Function is the first priority of designing architecture. Function lets architectural space serve human body movement properly. Today, there are many sport centers( gyms) for people to choose. Most of the gyms are simply rooms with machines. Although their spaces can fulfill the basic demands of a workout gym (function), the function of gym design is not only to give people space to work out, but also to use the architectural space to improve exercise performance. As a bodybuilder and powerlifter for seven years, I have competed in bodybuilding. I am also planning to compete in powerlifting. So, I want to use my knowledge and experience of training to improve the exercise performance through design of the architectural space. / Master of Architecture
