Boundary: How the park meets the street

A section demonstrating the treatment of a park and street boundary. Here, there are no fences or gates, but rather a series of techniques that create a gradual transition: the sidewalk paving extends into the park for about three meters before changing to the park's material, with the boundary being a gradually changing zigzag rather than a straight line; a continuous row of street trees belongs to both the street and the park; a low wall only forty centimeters high also serves as seating, marking the boundary but allowing crossing; the terrain is slightly raised by thirty centimeters, connected by a gentle slope rather than steps. Thus, people can enter the park from any point without needing to detour to an entrance. One corner of the image shows a contrasting approach with a fence and large gate. Avoid: making the two similar, using high fences and a single entrance/exit, making the boundary a hard straight line, allowing paving materials to change abruptly.

一段公園與街道的交界處理。這裡沒有圍籬與大門,而是用一系列的手法逐漸過渡:人行道的鋪面延伸進公園約三公尺後才換成園內的材質,交界是漸變的鋸齒而不是直線;一排連續的行道樹同時屬於街道與公園;一道高度僅四十公分的矮牆兼作座椅,標示邊界但可以跨越;地形略微抬升三十公分,以緩坡而非階梯銜接。因此人可以從任何一點走進公園,而不需要繞到入口。畫面的一角以圍籬加大門的做法作對照。避免:讓兩者相似、使用高圍籬與單一出入口、把交界做成一條硬直線、讓鋪面材質突兀地變換。
