Office is a blooming building type in rapidly developing China. Most of the current
Chinese office layouts and work patterns are following the mode from western countries
and cities are now becoming the same as any big city in the world. Beijing is the capital
city of China keeping unique Chinese culture for thousands of years. It is time for
thinking more about preserving regional characters rather than pursuing for the
international style. Design can get inspirations from traditional buildings – the right scale,
the courtyard space combination, the typical materials application and so on. Thus, for
the future office design of Beijing, preserving its own characters and creating an
environment fitting for its own culture and people is the keystone.
Based on those research and analysis about Chinese office development history, culture
background, current office layouts and so on, I provide a prototype – a novel office
layout that can respond to emerging work pattern requirements and Chinese culture-work
relationship. Then apply the prototype into a specific site to complete a test based on the
real scenario. / text
