Study On Commercial Pedestrian Street Design

Along with the acceleration of urbanization and improvement of life quality in China, our pursuit of high-level lifestyle becomes more and more popular, and expands quickly from the metropolis to other cities and areas; this tendency inevitably has the huge influence on the city commercial space and its development. This paper, based on the development of modern commercial buildings and theory of Production of Space Architecture, uses Commercial Pedestrian Street as a representative of contemporary commercial architectural form and miniature of urban consumer space to study the Production of Space Architecture of Commercial Pedestrian Street, urban commercial pedestrian street space and characteristics of practices of production.This paper analyzes the development and change of the contemporary Commercial Pedestrian Street in the West by considering the impact of consumerism lifestyle & values; summarizes the five variations of whole built environment of Pedestrian Street as: "big" trend, complex, transient, symbolic, image-based; meanwhile suggests the four most influential design elements of whole built environment: scale composition, communication lines, spatial form and street interface; finally, based on the existing design theory and practical experience of domestic and foreign Commercial Pedestrian Street, proposes the principle of design, the design strategy and the design method in view of the four design elements.The first chapter briefly explains the concepts of commercial pedestrian street, current domestic and foreign research status, and the confusion of domestic Commercial Pedestrian Street practice; clarifies the object of study, the content and the framework. The second chapter elaborates the generation and development of commercial Pedestrian Street both domestic and foreign; summarizes the characteristics of traditional commercial Pedestrian Street. The third chapter analyzes the Production of Space Architecture of Commercial Pedestrian Street in view of the theory of Production of Space Architecture; summarizes the characteristic of spatial practice development and change; proposes design essential factor, as well as the principle of design through analysis of design theory of Commercial Pedestrian Street both domestic and foreign; then finalizes the design system construction of this article.The fourth chapter to the seventh chapter, based on the chapters before, deeply analyzes the development characteristic of the design essentials; proposes some practical design strategy and method by considering the domestic and foreign Commercial Pedestrian Street experience and theories.
