Study On Design Of Edge Space Of Open City Park

Urban parks, especially multiple-function parks, are now open to the outside city , which is the inevitable development trend in China. The subject of my studies——edge space of urban parks for opening to the outside city, is a brand-new topic following the tendency of free entry of urban park. Few studies have been found in this field, including both research and design practice. In most of people's point of view, urban parks have been open to the outside city that only means free of charge. Actually free entry of urban parks is the one aspect of administration. It is more important, however, for the urban parks to be open to the outside city in the layout, which means edge spaces of urban parks for opening to the outside city as well. When this goal has been achieved, the park can really be merged into the city's open space system, and eventually it can get good relationship with the city. Based on the misunderstanding that most people have, the use of so-called open park is limited in function, and there are many problems when the edge spaces have been developed. This paper takes this new topic in the urban development, which is the edge space of urban park for opening to the outside city. It discusses how to make the open park really conform to the civil life and land-use peripheral through the reasonable design, to manifests the multi-value of the parks, to let the parks become the open space for the residence leisure, and to be the part of city's green space system. The paper takes several multiple-function parks in large cities and metropolises as the key investigation objects to get the information of the problems and confusions which are happening in the process of park opening to the outside city. In conclusion, the paper suggests the edge space of open park is a kind of new open space, analyzes main factors affecting edge space, summarizes the characteristics of this space, and proposes the pertinent design principle for the different types of edge spaces. The framework of the paper is roughly as following:Chapter one : The introduction, mainly elaborates the importance topic, elaborated the scope limits of the study, and establish the research technique and the implementation frame of the paper.Chapter two:The demonstration of related discipline, summarizing the existing theory for the edge space in architecture, urban planning and ecology domain, and elaborating the characteristic fo the edge space which has close correlation with this research.Chapter three:the development trend and problems that the green space system and the civil park in our country city faced with currently. Through the study of the difficulties and mistakes during the processing of the edge space and even the interior space in civil open park, it is found that the unfairness of the edge space is the immediate reason of these question. The goal of the analysis is for further studies of the countermeasure with a clear goal. Because the present existence question are extremely excessive, moreover, the quality is complex, therefore, in the article the induction problems is divided into four types—the principle of manage, the function activity, cultural esthetics and the landscape ecology, among these four aspects, the last three are correlated with design directly. In as following analysis, research and countermeasure discussion, the paper also elaborates these last three aspects separately, forms the causal relation which echoes.Chapter four:The analysis and research for edge space in the civil open park, this chapter is main body part of the article, it carries on the thorough analysis to the primary factor that affect the edge space in civil open parks. These factors decide directly what kind of characteristics that the edge space does have, and it decide directly what is the only rational design for the space as well. In the article , the major effecting factor is divided into three aspects for discussing, among these aspects, the function activity factor includes: landuse peripheral, the service object, the function district, the spatial layout, the transportation organization, the disaster prevention, the compound using of locations and facilities, the development and the management pattern, the concern for human beings and so on. The cultural esthetics factor includes: The culture manifests, the change of culture and the taste, the proportion and the criterion, the color and so on. The landscape ecological factor includes: the effect of ecology edge principle, city green space system.With analysis of above influence factors, we summarizes the edge space in civil open park has following characteristic: Transition, convertibility, hierarchical, openness, multiplicity and so on, these characteristics are not only different with the park utility, but also with the peripheral civil landuses. The edge space uses as connection region between the civil landuses and the park, is the space where crowd characters is richest, each kinds of activity has the highest frequency, the vigor is most. Designers should regard it as in the an independent individual with earnest treatment. The edge space in civil park receives direct influence coming from the interior and exterior, therefore, there is not one kind of universally applicable design principle.Therefore, this article carries on the city park edge space the classification further, the classified basis has three points, which respectively is the characters of landuse around the park, the relationship it has with the city green space system and the peripheral space morphological property. This article induces the edge space of civil open park into four types——leisure activity leading, the trade activity leading, the ecology landscape leading and the compulsion isolation type. This classification enable the later research for the design countermeasure has explicitly pertinence, also makes the article conclusion a stronger actual guiding significance.Chapter five:The design of edge space in civil open park. This chapter propose the basic principle and the countermeasure for design. Design countermeasure divides into the general countermeasure and the classified countermeasure. The general countermeasure is an effective measure to these four kinds of edge space all, including function district determination, non-barrier design, and landscape ecology design principle as well. The classified design countermeasure aim at each type, proposes the design countermeasure separately as following: the function area possibly including, the edge form, the transportation organization, the landscape, the culture manifest, the line of sight control, the compound use and the security. According to the difference of edge types, these above design countermeasure is different each other or even opposite clearly. Therefore, in the analysis stage before design, it is the key point to determine the respective type of edge accurately.Chapter six:the conclusion, carries on the review and the forecast to this research topic .
