Abstract
Edge space is not only the main place for residents’ public activities, but also the key component of urban public space. It promotes people’s spontaneous activities and social activities. Reasonable urban fringe space design can create the possibility for people to transform the city from bottom to top. While preserving the cultural background, Tanhualin historical life block has formed a rich and varied space form. This paper analyses the composition of its marginal space to explore the importance of edge space to urban public activities.
Highlights
From the point of view of psychology, architecture and environment constitute the relationship between the figure and the ground in the urban plane form
Based on the actual situation of Tanhualin historical life block, this paper mainly explores the form and composition of its small-scale edge space from the micro level
The construction of the marginal spaces on both sides of the linear road makes Tanhualin block form a harmonious style of petty bourgeoisie, culture and art, which is mainly reflected in three aspects: the street facade, plant decoration, and entrance step design (Fig. 7)
Summary
From the point of view of psychology, architecture and environment constitute the relationship between the figure and the ground in the urban plane form. Kevin Lynch divides cognitive elements into five types in The Image of the City, and edge is one of them. It is a linear space independent of the road element, which is generally but not necessarily the boundary of the two regions. [1] From the macro point of view, the edge can be reflected in the form of riverside and expressway of the urban boundary; from the micro perspective, the edge space is the transition space between buildings and buildings, buildings and roads, roads and districts, or between multiple districts, and plays a role of limiting the adjacent two areas. Based on the actual situation of Tanhualin historical life block, this paper mainly explores the form and composition of its small-scale edge space from the micro level
