Place-Making In Mttro Station Interior Public Space

The development of city-oriented underground public space, the quality of which means much to the future sustainable development of a city, has become a core part of the high-density three-dimensional development of the city. However, the routine practice and the monotony of present metro station in our country, weakens the place property of interior public space that the place should have, and makes it some space "placeless" People moving quickly and numbly through these dull and impetuous spaces, just to pass it and seek a sense of belonging. To change the stereotype and feelings about the space in our metro stations, and to explore the spirit within the space of metro station, Place-making should be an effective solution.Considering the current situation of no spirit in underground public space, the thesis at first presents the necessity of Place-making within the space of metro station, based on the theoretical understanding about Place-making, combining the theory with field visits, and summing up some design experience of metro station, the construction of which the author actually participate in. Then the thesis analyzes the necessary environmental conditions in the formation of metro station interior public space, and illustrates the four aspects in Place-making of interior public space:activities, intentions, forms and communication. Hence through the research about the relevant theory, the thesis puts forward and discusses four design principles in Place-making:Integrity Principle, Diversification Principle, Humanity Principle, and Characterization Principle. At last, the thesis combines theoretical and practical experience, makes a survey for the important design measures in Place-making of metro station interior public space, and forms a comparatively strategy in Place-making, which may help the later designers of metro station space find the point to start in time, and activate the power of the spaces in Place-making.
