AbstractThe formation of building space has gone through a
revolution over years. Earlier in the cave era, space is only
defined between interior and outside. Later on, varies of minor
defining elements such as horizontal dimension, vertical
dimension, transparent quality of the material, transformation
of position arrangement and transformation of transparent degree
have come to the part. These changes enhance the space to exist
in more than two states.Transparency, a simple concept, is one
point of view to look at spatial definition. Based on this
concept, vertically, we can examine how the spatial form come to
develop, and what cause the change of spatial structure.
Horizontally, we can understand structural factors of the
spatial form at present time. Both observations lead us to the
possible future direction.This paper is firmly based on the
purpose of operational design. Through the view of transparency,
three methods, which construct spatial layer, are applied to
study the construction and transformation of the space. The
operating methods are presented with sensory realization of
transparency. Although there are other elements which are also
important factors to the formation of spatial layer, for
example, colors, light, material, pictures, or electronic media,
etc, the methods applied here still lies in the domain of
physical element. There are unlimited possibilities of spatial
layer formations. however, that is not focused in this paper.
What the paper concerns about the most is how the spatial layer
is formed.To look at the spatial construction through the view
of transparency, we can find that the layer and depth of the
space has been increased with the interference of those minor-
defining elements. Based on this concept, this paper is going to
study three methods of spatial layer formation, which as the
following:1. Association between the combination of minor-
defining elements and the spatial definition.2. Association
between group buildings and the spatial definition.3. Influence
to the spatial definition when the state of defining elements
changes. (I.e. combination, transparent quality)Above are the
three directions when discussing spatial depth and spatial
definition in the physical space.At the end of this paper, a
series of residential designing cases are used to support the
theory, which as the following:1. Spatial layer and visual depth
caused by the application of minor defying elements and spatial
union.2. Relativity between virtual and physical space caused by
the organization of group buildings.3. Change of spatial
construction and transparent degree caused by rotating wall and
transparency adjustment.Keyword: Transparency, Transparent,
