Transparent design is a reverse space processing method in architectural design that involves partially or completely removing the original division of space, thereby making the entire space more diverse. The application of transparent design methods mainly includes the processing of two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces, and it involves aspects like building entities, design spaces, design materials, and building structures. Transparent design is a popular form of modern architectural design. It transforms the space and reflects the beauty of the space, allowing light, sight, and air to freely blend throughout the space. At the same time, architectural design is also consistent with the idea of “form follows function” advocated by contemporary architecture, so it has been gradually growing in popularity in architectural design. This article presents a detailed analysis of transparent design, including the types of transparent design, structural model design in transparent design, and the application strategies of transparent design in architecture.
