超越分隔与连接——两座乡镇步行桥设计探讨

Beyond Separation and Connection:Design Exploration of Two Township Pedestrian Bridges

桥的本意在于连接两处,它改变了地方的空间结构和人们行动的轨迹。桥作为一种存在物成为建成环境一部分,它所处的位置和形态成为有意味的新景观。桥作为人们相遇的空间节点,它可以超越基本的功能,成为地方的公共空间。文章从齐美尔讨论“桥与门”的关系开始,借用齐美尔论述桥的三个差异功能“分者相连”“意图付诸实施”和“直观可见”来讲述重庆石柱县中益乡场镇上两座新步行桥(小河桥和大河桥)的形成过程,探讨它们成为场镇上人们日常生活的一部分和重要的公共空间背后的设计理念。

The original intention of a bridge is to connect two places,altering the spatial structure of the place and the trajectory of people’s actions.As a form of existence,bridges become part of the built environment,and their location and form turn into meaningful new landscapes.As a spatial node where people meet,a bridge can also surpass its most basic functions and become a local public space.This article commences with Georg Simmel’s discussion on the relationship between bridges and doors,and borrows Zimmer’s discussion of the three different functions of bridges:“connecting the two”,“implementing the intention”,and“intuitively visible”to describe the two new pedestrian bridges(Xiaohe Bridge and Dahe Bridge)in Zhongyi Township,Shizhu County,Chongqing.Nowadays,they have become part of daily life and significant public spaces in the town.
