Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research indicates issues and possibilities in architectural theory and community development for effective use of non-square architectural space, which is defined as form with wall, floor, and ceiling other than the Cartesian coordinate direction, through presenting a non-square architectural model based on original algorithmic design methodology and fabricating its mock-up. In non-square architectural space with complex topology, people having different purposes can work individually at each divided space, at the same time can feel a sense of unity and diversity in their experience of seeing others from various viewpoints. Therefore, it is expected that new relationships are built and community is activated through managing non-square architectural space as a public space where residents and visitors can use for various activities.
