Analysis and Enlightenment of Eugene Alfred Henard's Vision of Future Urban Streets:Discussion on Polarization and Bridging of Speed Difference
Authors analyzed French architect Eugene Alfred Henard's vision of future urban streets in 1910 and found that speed is an important variable leading to the vertical stratification of street space.Based on a deep understanding of the classic urban design ideas and science fiction works of the early 20th century,it is critically proposed that the polarization and bridging of speed difference is the core logic of street evolution from the per-spective of traffic reconstruction architecture,which has important theoretical significance for the understanding of street space ontology and the establishment of its renewal mechanism.
