dc.description.abstractThis thesis explores the corridor as an essential architectural element in an apartment building. By differentiating the conventional linear corridor, a more pleasant corridor could be achieved: corridor with various widths and natural lighting through architecture manipulation. The building's locale contributes to another topic of this thesis, the urban form for a downtown apartment building. The identities of three streets surrounding the site are respectively unique. One is a downtown pedestrian sidewalk with storefronts, one is a quiet one-way back road, and the other is a major highway with heavy traffic. Examining these three urban conditions, the possible relationship between the streets and the apartment building is explored. For apartment residents, the street conditions and the corridors constitute the very transitional experience for him or her to enter a home.en
