Arcades and Pedestrian Zones: Both Levels Must Connect

A pedestrian shopping street with arcades. There are two parallel pedestrian spaces: the arcade below is covered, on private land but open for public passage, about three meters wide; the outer side is an uncovered pedestrian street. The key is the relationship between the two—the arcade floor is flush with the street with no height difference, allowing free access at any point; the floor levels of individual units within the arcade are also leveled to the same height, with no steps or ramps connecting them; the column array is regular and not obstructed by clutter. People can choose according to the weather: walk under the arcade during rain and strong sun, and on the outer side when it's cool. People are walking in both spaces in the image. Avoid: having height differences and steps between the arcade and the street, having uneven floor levels within the arcade units, obstructing the arcade with goods and motorcycles, making the arcade a closed private area.

一段有騎樓的徒步商店街。這裡有兩層平行的步行空間:騎樓下方是有頂蓋的、屬於私有地但供公眾通行,寬約三公尺;外側是無頂的徒步街道。關鍵在兩者的關係——騎樓的地坪與街道齊平無高差,任何一段都可以自由進出;騎樓內部各戶的地坪也整平為同一高度,沒有台階與斜坡的接續;柱列規律而不被雜物堵塞。人可以依天氣選擇:下雨與大太陽時走騎樓,涼爽時走外側。畫面中兩層都有人在走。避免:讓騎樓與街道之間有高差與台階、讓騎樓內各戶地坪高低不一、用商品與機車堵塞騎樓、把騎樓做成封閉的私人區域。
