无理重庆

An Irrational Chongqing

鲜明独特的自然条件与人工建造共同构建出重庆城市空间特征。城市空间的发展与评价是有理可循的。与数字的"有理"、"无理"之分类似,与相对规律明晰的空间之理相比,重庆相当数量的空间更具"无理"特征。这类空间的形成、建立、使用,难以用通常的普适规律来指导或解释,具有强烈的在地性、针对性和时间性,是面对独特而具体问题时必须采纳的一种变通、有效的应对方式,也是构建城市整体空间体系中活跃、趣味的那一部分。利用重庆轨道交通特色站点所依存的城市空间,空间"无理"的涵义得以示意和呈现。

The unique nature context and human constructions shape the Chongqing urban space systems characteristic distinctly. Some rules or regulations lie in the urban space development. Similar to the criterion of rational and irrational numbers in mathematics, quite many spaces in Chongqing can be considered as a kind of Irrational Space with unique characters. The reason for the formation and development of these spaces cannot explained simply by some universal rules or disciplines, while the strong on-site speciality, pertinence and timeliness instead. They are both effective countermeasures to particular urban settlement problems in flexible ways, and the most vibrant and interesting parts in the whole city physical built environment. The connotation of Irrational Space is narrated through two rail transit stations in Chongqing.
