ABSTRACT
In modern society, the population tends to move to cities and the center of the country. Fewer and fewer people choose undeveloped areas. Nowadays, under social pressure, seeking for peaceful dwelling place becomes attractive. The purpose of this study is to create a building that is able to provide different experiences of modern and stressful life. The use of materials and the site choice can bring the effect we expect to have. We choose to establish our design near the rivers at the foot of the mountains. The main materials that form most of the visually viewable parts of the building are wood and glass. Research shows that most of the interviewees believe that woodenware and furniture can make people feel joyful. Most people use wooden furniture in their individual spaces. Wooden furniture is believed to contain the meaning of private and mental relaxation. The site choice also follows the rule of some basic, usual psychological hint, since most people believed that forest and river are representations of clam and non-emotional choice. Therefore, we deiced on our site and materials, since they can create the building that is closest to our concept of being able to make a connection with the natural world and enable people to feel relaxed.
