Primary Study On The Node Space Of Urban Waterfronts

Water is the source of life, ecological and survival. Water give birth to the city, is theurban development on the basis of the waterfront city Aura. Waterfront space is located in thearea of natural and artificial intersection. Its beautiful natural environment, high-qualityrecreation sites, provides people with the opportunity to get close to nature; carries moderncivilization and public life; embodies the city cultural and spiritual connotation, with a veryecological, landscape, cultural values.It is the most dynamic public space in the city,city image display window.Waterfront space is generally linear vertical commence along the water system. Theabsence of the art treatment is often a tedious sense and sense of monotony, resulting in theseparation of the water system natural environment and the urban environment, waterfrontopen space and urban public function in isolation. So, the sense of aggregation,transformation, integration, and strengthen of the waterfront node space plays an importantrole in the region. It constitutes a knot points of the waterfront linear space. Water into thecity is knot: knot of space improves the linear form of the waterfront space, constitute achange in rhythm and rhyme; as anchor points and control points of linear space, It increasesthe water system into the city to achieve the fusion of nature and city; Waterfront knot spacebelongs to the scope of urban public space, but is different from the general sense of publicspace.It is unique significance to improve the urban environment, abundant urban form, buildthe city’s feature and promote urban quality.In the thesis, take the Waterfront node space for the object, waterfront space organizationtheory supported. The methods of Waterfront knot spatial organization is explored from theoverall planning level.In the last, take the overall planning of Lintao County, Gansu Provincefor an empirical test.Raise a Question: Chapter I is to clarify the background and current situation of thistopic, and the purpose,meaning,content of the study.Analyze the question: Chapter II explains concepts and theories. Characteristics, typeand role of the Waterfront ’node’ space; the course of development and the value in the city, as well as the status quo.Solve the problem:Chapter IV which is the key point of this thesis is to discusses thesolution to the problem.After summary of the organizational principles of the waterfront’node’ space,the chapter is to study the way to organize the Waterfront ’note’ space from fourparts: system construction, integration structural, location forms, to create a place, ecologicalconservation;The demonstrating instance:Chapter V is to demonstrate the practical application onparticular waterfront ’node’ space—"The Overall Planning of Lintao County in GansuProvince"...
