Integration and Functionalization of Spatial Boundaries-A Case Study of Macau University of Science of Technology

摘要

As a defining element between spaces, boundary is defined by spatial extent and attributes. This paper discusses the feasibility of dealing with spatial images and background relationship by analyzing concepts, effects and forms of existing spatial boundaries and combining the relationship of graphics and background in Gestalt Psychology. Taking the campus boundary of Macao University of Science and Technology as a case, boundary extensions and functional implantations are analyzed to explore the diversity of spatial boundary forms. The case studies of marginalized spatial boundary can serve as a place where numerous information and functions converge, not just as an element of defining spaces.
