Summary:碩士 === 國立臺北科技大學 === 建築與都市設計研究所 === 99 === In recent years people have higher demand of the quality of living environment, and a proper balcony space is supposed to be the place where inhabitants can get in touch with nature, thus enhancing the quality of their living. But the growth of population that accompanies the fast growth of cities results in the rise of traffic, which in turn brings noise pollution that seriously damages the quality of living for those whose houses sit alongside the road. Urban balconies are therefore categorized as subsidiary decorations and fail to exert their original function. The target of this research is the balcony space on the 3rd floor, 95-2, 2nd sec., Ren-ai Road, Taipei. Via literature discussion and analysis of conditions of the present base, this research concludes 12 attributes and ‘the social intercourse garden reciprocating the treed boulevard’ as its design concept. Its spatial design strategy of situation transformation, which applies techniques including balcony based noise test, noise transmission test, theoretical analysis of road noise barrier and Cadna-A simulation to decide the height of railings, 120cm, and proper decoration materials, reduces the noise and enlivens the space of the balcony.
