Contacting Aesthetics In Traffic Node Space Of City Center

With the acceleration of urbanization, the city density develops rapidly. The gatherings of population and information exchanges bring the city great energy as well as conflicts, over-consumption, and confusion. Traffic Node regions reflect gathering features of the center. Because of the shortage of space, people are in a great need of land exploration from the aerial to the underground. As one of the most active elements in the city, traffic with its changes proposes new demands for city space and architectural space. Being multi-element and open is characteristic of Traffic Node space, which requires a closed link between nodes.Spatial Contact connects every space element in the Traffic Node through Linking Space which meets people's demands for public space and traffic space. With its double features of both city space and architectural space, Linking Space establishes a dynamic spatial network by taking good advantage of the city space and integrating city resources. The significance of Linking Space lies in its integration of all kinds of needs which offers a good solution to the conflicts between the limited land and increasing traffic demands. Its traffic function and newly formed public space give new connotation to the city space and provide organic connections among the city space elements with a sense of flow and integrated beauty.City space is dynamic and efficient with the Spatial Contact. The urban renewal and the construction of new districts should be based on the internal transport effectiveness of Traffic Node. Traffic Node creates pleasant traffic space for the public by strengthening its internal space contact and implementing the separation of people from vehicles and traffic exchange. Linking Space has gradually become a space with sense of place, which functions both for transport and public, containing a kind of contacting aesthetics.The article begins with the background of Linking Space and raises concepts and relationships connected with Linking Space. Then it analyzes features of city Traffic Node and its space contacting patterns, both of which form the research background of Linking Space. Based on the previous illustrations, the article studies the basic characteristics of Linking Space by combining related viewpoints, proposes designing methods and finally establishes the evaluation system for the specific types. Analysis of Spatial Contact and Linking Space is the main body of the article.
