从形态学因素综述角度分析墨西哥城现代城市形态

Understanding Modern-day Mexico City's Urban Form through a Review of its Morphologic Factors

城市景观是西方社会大部分人口日常生活的重要组成部分。建筑、街道、花园和纪念碑是人类定居城市的基本手段。它们极大地促进了人类日常生活的高效性和幸福感,但鲜少有学者系统的研究和解释形成城镇景观的动力。文章分析了墨西哥城从形成初期到后续转变的整个演变过程,辨别并细致研究了其各个组成部分,旨在理解墨西哥城的各类形态、网格化、重复性、几何性和对称性。

Urban landscapes are an important part of the daily lives of most of the population of the western world. Buildings, streets, gardens and monuments are fundamental means from which we orientate ourselves within cities. They contribute significantly to our daily levels of efficiency and well-being, and yet, the forces responsible for shaping town and city landscapes have rarely been systematically investigated and are poorly understood. This study analyzes Mexico City＇s evolution from its formative years to its subsequent transformations, identifying and dissecting various components in order to understand its variety of forms, grids, repetitions, geometry, and symmetry.
