Creating the Architectural and Urban Space Database on the Internet using the Space Block Method

从真实建筑和真实城市空间中选取样本，采用“空间块”的描述方式在互联网上构建数字数据库。1997年，对边界清晰、易于描述为“空间块”的空间进行了研究。调查对象为蓬皮杜中心前广场（巴黎）、Le Ccuvent de La Tourette（里昂）、Vittorio Emanuel II Galleria（米兰）、Piazza del Campo（锡耶纳）、Pantheon（罗马）、Piazza della Cisterna（意大利南部小镇）。1998年，展品都是从当代建筑中挑选出来的，很难用“空间块”来形容。展品包括阿尔瓦·阿尔托（芬兰）、新国家美术馆（柏林）、老佛爷美术馆（柏林）、昆斯塔尔美术馆（鹿特丹）等的作品，从一个或多个角度收集了物体空间的整体环境图片。数据库采用“Quick Time VR（QTVR）”系统建立，可在计算机上对这些图片进行交互式处理。由此，这个数据库可以很容易地想象周围空间的氛围，比如从图纸或图片上很难理解的空间。通过对处理后的数据进行对比，具体地表明，要再现空间的气氛，存在由空间特性决定的有效元素。从多个角度的全景，照明和反射光，天花板和地板的材料，与它相邻的空间和外部空间之间的连接。

Some sample from real architecture and real urban space were chosen to construct digital data base on internet with using the way of describing as "Space Block".In 1997, the space which has clear border and is easy to describe as "Space Block" were investigated.The investigation object are square in front of Pompidu center(Paris), Le Ccuvent de La Tourette(Lyon), Galleria Vittorio Emanuel II(Milano), Piazza del Campo(Siena), Pantheon(Rome), Piazza della Cisterna(a small town in south Italy).In 1998, objects were pick up from contemporary architecture which are difficult to describe as "Space Block". The objects are works done Alvar Aalto in Finland, New National Gallery(Berlin), Galeries Lafyette(Berlin), and Kunsthal(Rotterdam), etc.Pictures of the whole circumstances of the object space were collected from one or plural points.Data base was built with "Quick Time VR(QTVR)" system which enabled to handle interactively on computer from these pictures.From this, This data base made it easy to imagine the atmosphere of surrounded space such as space it is difficult to understand from drawings or a picture.With comparing the processed data, it was shown concretely that to reproduce the atmosphere of the space, there are effective elements which is decided by the character of the space.Panorama from the plural points, lighting and reflection light, the material of the ceiling and the floor, a connection between the space which adjoins it, and the outside space.
