An Introductory Consideration on the Interface Areas for Landscape Planning

Abstract

Our living spaces would be defined as a compound of several different spaces of various kinds of anthropocentric level, and quite many kinds of interface areas exist among them. These interface areas have a role of framework defining a space and also of conjunction with the adjacent spaces. The morphological characters and the meanings of an interface area have drastically changed with the modernization and the urbanization. Some of the problems which we are facing today come from an unbalance between the morphological changes of interface areas and the traditional feelings for the spaces. Therefore, we can say that those problems are a result of the confiict between the tradition and the modernization, or the urbanization. Then, we must identify the spatial tradition among the enormous kinds of historical changes.
