A Study on the Settlement of“Objects” as a Method of Urban Design

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to find out some rules when we settled sculptures in public space. There must exist the relation between the sculptures and the character of the public space. In this study, 2 views on the relation are suggested. One is the semantic relation, and the other is the relation of scale (scale balances). And in this study, I refer to the semantic relation.
First, the investigations were practiced, and the responses, figures of image linkage were got into shapes. The linkage?system which construct some boundaries between the place and sculptures, were classified into 8 types with reference to rethoric devices.
In the end, it is suggested present that the setting of sculptures in the public space is one of the methods of urban design which reorganize the town scape with a vivid impression.
