Study On The Designing Of Open Space At City Gate

The city gate, especially open space of the city entrances on the outer fringe there, links the city with external environment, and constitutes necessary thoroughfare for the city to exchange material,energy, information, etc, with the outside, furthermore open Space there which decisively influence it's Special form, landscape imagery and ecological environment. It is a important site, where "city life" will converge and citizens can enjoy the open space; Furthermore It is a window, through which strange people start to form their recognition of the city. Still more, it is a significant section of "city characteristic";City open space extends outward, and outer natural open space organicly stretches into the inner city. Open space at the city gate is extremely active section in the city eco-system. So, studying on the designing of the open space at the city gate will has much significant practical sense to creation of better city life environment, unique landscape and good ecological environment.The study tries to apply modern city design theory and means to the open space at the city gate, and carries out constrictive consideration on its design principles and means. There are three parts, namely fundamental research, practice illustration research and design principles and means study, just as follow:The part of fundamental research includes the relative conceptions, and the primary features, attributes of the open space at the city gate. The part also explicitly definitizes the study target, meanwhile introduces the conception of integrality and the methodology of system study;The part of practice illustration research analyze the status dissect of the existing typical open space at the city gate, and scrutinizes the intrinsic reasons form the present problems. Moreover, this part also illustrates two city design case, and carries on the dissects of concrete example;The part of city design principles and means study, means to construct multi-angle, systematize and integrated city design framework for the open space at the city gate. Focusing on humanistic design, landscape imagery design and ecological design, the part suns up the principles and means of designing of the open space at the city gate, and gives some constructive suggestions.
