Spatial Interpenetration and Perceptual Experience:Reflections on Street Gardens from the Perspective of Transparency Theory
Transparency in architectural theory examines the evolution of complex structures and spatial dynamics,characterized by its attributes of permeability,ambiguity,and redundancy.This concept is pivotal in addressing street garden design within intricate urban contexts.This study explores the application of transparency theory to street garden design,following an analysis of contemporary street garden spatial development.It delves into the core principles of the theory,its practical implementation,and the alignment of response strategies within street garden design,employing a dual'phenomenon-concrete'analytical framework.The implementation of transparency theory in street gardens manifests in five key dimensions:the interplay of symbiotic environmental relationships,the multi-layered facets of garden landscaping,the amalgamation of functional elements,the diversification of garden characteristics,and the enrichment of spatial perception.By shifting the emphasis from tangible to intangible aspects of space,transparency theory redefines the conventional approach to scenic landscapes.
