A Demographic Characteristics-Based Study on the Visual Impact Assessment of the External Form of Entrance Pavilions to the Underground Stations of China’s Subway
The subway is one of urban residents’ main means of public transportation. The design of entrance pavilions to subway stations has shown a diverse development trend over time. Since most of the subway building space is underground, it is very difficult for subway users or the public to view the structure fully. In this instance, the ground-level entrance pavilion becomes the most eye-catching element in the subway system. From the perspective of the urban spatial environment, the external form of entrance pavilions is one of the components of urban architecture. The design of the external form of entrance pavilions has an important impact on the urban spatial form and affects people’s feelings about the urban space. Therefore, it is essential to study the external form of entrance pavilions. This study investigated 42 subway entrance pavilions in 17 cities in China. The following features were studied: exterior contour, façade permeability, cultural characteristics, decorative materials, and the number of exterior colors. The photostimulation method was adopted to evaluate the influence of the physical features of the external form of the entrance pavilions on respondents’ visual impact assessment. The data analysis showed that respondents with different demographic characteristics provided different visual impact assessments of the external form of the entrance pavilions, and all five physical features influenced their assessment. This study offers a valuable reference for constructing entrance pavilions and urban spaces in Chinese cities in the future.
Evaluation on the Internal Public Space Quality in Affordable Housing Based on Multi-Source Data and IPA Analysis
Much affordable housing has poor accessibility to external urban public space facilities because of its suburb location, which makes the residents’ daily life and social activities mainly depend on the internal public space of the community. Such affordable housing needs urgent upgrading of the internal public space based on the thorough understanding of the low-income residents’ demand ranking. The internal spaces’ transformation will significantly improve the living environment and the quality of residents’ life, and it also provides a way to promote social equity and sustainable urban development. By using the multi-source data and the two-step floating catchment area method, this paper selects typical affordable housing, which has poor accessibility to external urban public space, as our case study. After establishing the evaluation index system, IPA (Importance and Performance Analysis) is used to calculate the quadrant value of each index so as to clarify the upgrading urgency indexes from the residents’ demand for internal public space of affordable housing. Studies have shown that tables, chairs and pavilions, pedestrian systems, retail commercial facilities, medical and health facilities, and recreational space have the strongest urgency for upgrading; fitness facilities, exercise space, barrier-free access, guidance signs and parking lot design are the next most urgent indexes; Recreational facilities, entrances/exits of the residential area, green space in front of t residential buildings, and cultural facilities all have general urgency for upgrading.
The Pavilion at Ole Miss
Integral by design, the Pavilion is the centerpiece of the Ole Miss Athletics Foundation's comprehensive Forward Together capital campaign. Visitors enter through a covered courtyard from the north and arrive at a generous open area within the arena's main concourse that also serves as a daily food court facility for the University's students and faculty.

Castelo Novo visitor centre
Report on a visitor centre designed by Comoco Architects for the small village of Castelo Novo in Fundao, Portugal. Comoco is a trio of young architects - Luis Miguel Correia, Nelson Mota and Susana Constantino - whose approach reflects a poetic yet unsentimental spirit typical of the best new Portuguese work. Their intelligent distillation of materials and form, coupled with an eagerness to embrace the contemporary, is perfectly epitomised in this project where, rather than provide a single new building, they place a series of elements in the landscape to unify and enhance the site. All new parts are executed in Cor-ten plate, the heavy, rusted steel bringing a whiff of industrial grit to the more delicate business of archaeological tourism and forming an evocative contrast with eroded stone walls, now crumbling with age.
