生态时代的城市交通美学问题

On City Transportation Aesthetics in Time of Ecology

当城市交通运行是良性的时候,它是美的,反之,它便是丑的。在生态时代,对城市交通行为和现象的审美评价,不能驻足于外表,更不能被表面的瞬间的光环所迷惑。也就是说,不能简单地就事论事,而应该将其置于"地球(宏观)—城市(中观)—个体(微观)"这一序列结构中考察,在考察其功能的正负时,特别要注意其"潜在负价值"。总之,城市交通美的内容丰富而又复杂,对其准确把握乃至有效构筑并非易事。不过,也正因为这样,该课题才极具挑战性和吸引力。

City transportation is beautiful when it functions well and is ugly vice versa. In the time of ecology, aesthetic evaluation on activities and phenomena involved in city transportation should not be limited superficially or even deluded by the temporary captivating appearance. It should rather be observed in the sequence structure of ＂earth-city-individual＂. In the observation of its functions,special attention should be given to ＂potential negative value＂. In conclusion, the beauty in city transportation has enriched and complex implications which can not be easily captured and effectively constructed. It thus makes the topic most challenging and appealing.
