ABSTRACT

With the domination of modernism fading away, various styles and genres became popular, such as postmodernism, surface and tectonic architecture. People found there’s no accepted space model which could solve the problems arise in space design. Under this situation, one universally accepted concept emerged: personal perception and specific experience of architecture is the origin of design inspiration, and it is ultimately what architecture is all about. Modern space design is a process which is directly based on space sensory perception: it highlights the involvement of human being as main body, the experience accumulated in space based on time-dimension, the space value percepted from movement in it and the experience got from different view angles. Its property of layered construction, transparency and spatio-temporal synaesthesie makes contribution to the name “permeable transparency space”. The following are two cases from which we can have further understanding of the presence of materials in space.
