The skills of designing a base, rather than a complete building is beyond traditional architectural discourse and yet to be understood. The paper firstly introduced the concept of base building, the significance and its relation with the separate components – the Infill. Then it describes the qualities of the base buildings characterized by permanency, adaptability, simplicity, organized public spaces, and efficient service systems. The paper analyzes buildings designed by Baumschlager Eberle (BE) by focusing on four base systems, namely the structure, operable facade, common spaces in hierarchies, and low energy service system. It demonstrates the sustainable approaches of architecture: long lasting, high comfort with low energy. It concludes that the qualities of the architecture ensured by the initial design are mainly embedded in the base buildings. A skillful base building design with high quality opens a new horizon for the architecture.  \nKeywords: base building, support, architectural quality  \n 1. INTRODUCTION  \nThe base building concept is derived from the concept of Support. “A support structure is a construction which allows the provision of dwellings which can be built, altered and taken down, in dependently of the others.” (Habraken 1972:59-60) a Support is an unfinished building, ready to be occupied by variable infill. However, the layout and size of individual occupancies – dwellings, offices, etc. – are not predetermined. The Support is the permanent, shared part of a building which provides serviced space for occupancy. (Kendall and Teicher 2000:32)  \nA Support can not be inhabited, or become a building without Infill.“Supports”are the shared and serviced structures that would contain dwellings made out of “infill”, much as a bookcase (a shared infrastructure) contains books (decided independently) that can be taken out and put in separately.“Typical support elements include building structure and facade, entrances, staircases, corridors, elevators and trunk (main) lines for electricity, communications, water, gas, and drainage.” (Kendall and Teicher 2000: 33), While typical Infill elements include external wall elements, internal partition elements, floor elements, storage elements, doors, kitchen elements, bathroom elements, and so on. (1972: P 63) Age van Randen provided four categories for Infill: (1) spatial layout, (2) partition walls, frames, doors etc. , (3) equipment found in the kitchen, sanitary fittings and appliances, and (4) installation determined by the layout. (1992: 82)  \nBy separating Support from Infill, a building may have larger capacity to adapted different functions and changes of needs through out the life span of the building. A building, particularly the element of Support can last longer than other buildings. It is especially significant for the sustainable development with understanding that long life structure can reduced the energy and resource consumptions for constructing new buildings, and reducing the waste output caused by demolishing of the old buildings. Among other significances, Habraken addressed that such building may reestablish the traditional relationship between building and people: “Dwelling is after all doing something; it is the sum of human actions within a certain framework, within the protective environment created by man…”(1972: P18 a)  \nInspired by the conceptual division of Support and Infill in Habraken’s theory, there has been a great deal of work done, focusing on Infill development and experiments in the Open Building movement (Kendall and Teicher 2000) .
