Design Concept:Staggered Dwelling The maisonette system,inspired by Le Corbusier’s concept of linking vertical cores and a central corridor,has been incorporated in this model. Aimed at benefiting both the developer and home owner,the concept focuses on a staggered truss system which was chosen for its flexibility, lower construction costs,and significant design flexibility.The staggered truss system has reduced the total cost of the structure due to steel’s lighter frame and fewer foundations.Further savings were accrued because the building required fewer columns and less steel tonnage.The design has eliminated interior columns to create open space.设计理念:交错式住房这个模型采用了受启发于Le Corbusier的连接垂直内核和中央走廊概念的小户型结构。旨在造福开发商和业主,该概念主要采用交错桁架体系,它具有灵活、建设成本低和显著的设计灵活性等优点。由于较轻的框架和较少的基础,交错桁架体系结构总的成本已得到降低。建设中因采用更少的柱子和钢材,可进一步节约成本。设计消除了内柱,可为住户营造一个更开阔的空间,见图1。
