Abstract
En 中文
External spaces of buildings represent a type of potential space that can supplement the urban public space system under the background of urban renewal. However, as spaces with ambiguous publicness, their design and layout often need to convey stronger welcoming attitudes to attract citizens’ use. This study aims to explore the expression elements of publicness in external spaces of museum buildings. A mixed method approach, including field observation and measurement, questionnaire surveys (with a total sample size of 277), and statistical analysis, was adopted to explore and reveal the design logic of publicness expression in the layout and form of external spaces of museum buildings. Taking nine museum building external spaces located in Beijing’s core area as empirical cases, this study analyzes the influence of spatial layout on publicness expression from six dimensions: leisure atmosphere and activity diversity, spatial quality and perceived safety, landscape creation and spatial comfort, pedestrian friendliness, spatial identity, and boundary treatment and management measures. The study aims to understand the subtle threshold characteristics between the design of external spaces of museum buildings and the expression of publicness, and to explore the benefits of external spaces of buildings in supplementing the urban public space system. This research is expected to respond to public demands for high quality public spaces and improve the refinement of urban space management and optimization.
