基地的“线像”

The Contour of the Site

从宾夕法尼亚大学景观设计课程的地形练习展开,介绍了如何通过等高线的图示和模型表达出基地的土和水的信息。在城市设计中,土地使用功能的改变直接反映于基地土和水的变化中,而不同特征的等高线图示也能表达出基地属性的转变。地形塑造不仅是整地排水的技术解决方案,还贯通到公共开敞空间的城市设计中。

Starting from the design studio in the landscape architecture department of University of Pennsylvania, the article presents the fact that the contours hold the information about the earth and the water of the site. In urban design, grading reflects the shifting of land use; the contour lines with different characters represent the changes of the land use. Grading is not just site engineering as an infrastructure, but also a design idea, together with urban framework design.
