The architectural \"gray space\"

Abstract：Indoor and outdoor space connection， rest with the division of office space， the natural environment and artificial environment of cohesion， all need our grey space design， grey space design in architectural design is indispensable. This article discusses my understanding of \"gray space\".

一、Understanding \"gray space\"

Buildings， there are a lot of important words in the word \"gray space\" occupies very important position in these words. Earliest grey space is famous by Japanese HeiChuanJiZhang， refers to the transition space， internal and external space can make more harmonious construction of indoor and outdoor. Grey space covers the meaning more widely in the field of modern architecture， sometimes referred to as \"intermediary space\"， it not only indoor and outdoor space， including excessive space of the building and construction， such as buildings and streets of space， space and space too much space， it is a part in the urban construction， it includes material elements， the space element， environment element place， etc.Is the space with excessive， connections， foil effect is one of the most space.

First grey space is to be able to raise the visual sense of the building， so grey space design is a rich space level of artistic effect. Suppose that a building no grey space design， just pure space and space， without transition space， the whole building in our eyes will become very veneer， even building cannot be established. In the gray space in the building design we have a lot of design can have adornment effect， can make the whole building is more full of life and space， also can make buildings around the environment more harmonious. For us， the grey space can make us feel better， make the space is closer to communicate with our hearts.The role of time， gray space in building positive from black to white must be grey as important transition， the transition of no grey between black and white， will appear two extremes of abrupt， lack of visual buffer. Grey space in the building design is absolutely indispensable， because grey space in the building by the different space transition together.Grey space is the function of cohesion between the conversion for each Spaces， in cohesion transformation makes people in a space to another space transformation on the feeling， each drab space multidirectional， becomes more active. As the black chuan JiZhang said \"this space has been as a kind of important means， used to alleviate because the modern architecture makes the separation of urban space into illicit close space and public space caused by the emotional alienation.\" Grey space can make the mood more happy， enjoy the space and the dialogue of the mind.

二、\"Gray space\" in the traditional architectural design significance

In traditional buildings， our predecessors used lots of grey space design， let a space more harmonious， more to make our lives comfortable.In zhejiang lanxi zhuge bagua village， you can see the grey space in our traditional architecture design. The planning and design of the whole village built entirely in accordance with the jiugong eight diagrams， the center of the village is Zhong Chi， the whole village is a center for radial alignment. Not people in the village in the village of basic were stray road， the road in the village are both eight diagrams and the channel in the village， belongs to the grey space design， achieved the purpose of protecting the village roads， has realized the effect of channel， can connect different space， for the transition. In the center Zhong Chi grey space design， it not only played a central role， and make people have a small gathering place， similar to the function of the square. Tell from the design， we see the Zhong Chi role for the whole village space arrangement， also see Zhong Chi in village environment adornment effect. The most magnificent building to several big village court， is the place of sacrifice and between the small square in front of the court and the entrance hall is big court， it have played an important role in the connection of inside and outside， and carries on the design， make the building more beautiful， it is also a grey space design.

In the foreign classical architecture， called the taj mahal， \"tai ji， Hal ling\". The building started in 1630， built in 1653. Is the mughal empire king ShaJie sweat for die was too JiJian concubine mausoleum. Is made of pure white marble building， has a very high artistic value， also is the masterpiece of islamic architecture. The role of the taj mahal in gray space is also very obvious， but also relatively easy to see， the road in front of the hall with a slice of the taj mahal in water is connected to the external environment of the gray space， seems to be just a road but it makes people before they walk into the taj mahal to see the taj mahal to noble， solemn and elegant， fully embodies the role transition and connection.

Grey space design greatly improved our quality of life. In modern life， we both residential， office， entertainment place need to coordinate with grey space. Grey space ACTS as a traffic space indoors， can make people in the space is decorated， so as to give a person a better feeling. In outdoor grey space gives a person a rest， a communication zone， make people more comfortable. Grey space function is the regulation of black and white of conflict， the discord between space and space. And make buildings more perfect， modern life brings us a better.
