The Primary Research On Elevated Intersection Greenspace Landscape Of Expressway

With the expressway developing rapidly in China, the transformation of the environments where the expressways cut through has been paid more and more attention. It is well known that expressway green-space, including mainline green-space, elevated intersection green-space and etc, plays an important role on improving and resuming environments. However, how to plan and design these green-space effectively is a new question. This thesis takes elevated intersection green-space of expressway as the object of research and tries to explore systematical ways of designing it combining ecology, visual aesthetics and local culture.The research is composed of four portions. In the first chapter, this thesis dissects some concept about expressway, delimits the area of research, analyzes the theories about research on expressway landscape overseas and evokes thinking about the current environments of our country. In the second chapter, the paper analyzes the connected factors which influence the design of green-space of elevated intersection of expressway so as to find the problems which need to be solved. In the next chapter, being aimed at the common problems of green-space of elevated intersection, the thesis discusses methods of investigating the current environment of green-space of elevated intersection of expressway, concludes the targets and principle of the design and tries to gain a series of practicable methods of designing and planning. In the final chapter, basing on the above research, some examples are discussed in order to put the above methods into practice.
