The underground commercial space is the main form of the city underground spaces, and is common underground places in which people can stay for a long time. This thesis aims at the remarkable point of underground commercial space: the lost of the direction, and mainly research on the design of the legibility.In the thesis, it first defines the concept of the underground commercial space, then introduces the environment psychology, architecture psychology, environment vision theory and analyses the characteristic and identification of the environment recognition of the underground commercial space. This thesis mainly researches on the affective factor of the underground commercial space. In detail, the author classified the design points of the legibility design and puts forward two ways to classify the design points of the underground business space: one is the relations of the inner and outer part, which means the entrance and the inner space environment; the other is the component factor, which means the space image factor and the environment form factor.The first classification mainly discusses the design principle and policy, and puts forward the strengthen of the whole order and the corresponding relation to other cities according to entrance form and the inner space form. The second classification researches the component, and discusses the design methods according to the related theory: first use the city image taxonomy of Kevin Lynch to deduce the five image factors of underground commercial space: path, district, edge, node, landmark; the image factors and the environment form factors( interface, illumination, color, the direction inducement mark ) infiltrates each other, architecture design and interior design effect together, finally established the identifiable cognition map of the underground commercial space.According to the discussion, this paper concludes the form of the underground commercial space, which needs all the component factors'effect, and be mainly based on the architecture design, interior design as the complement and the non-architecture design ways as the supplement. The design should be based on people's perceive, and creates the harmonious, orderly and exciting underground business space environment. |
