本文探讨了冲突后城市景观的贝尔法斯特，公共建筑和立面的影响在公共空间的行人流量和运动模式的日常社会空间的做法的建筑反应。虽然这座城市在整个世纪上半叶拥有充满活力的公共空间和活跃的城市生活的悠久历史，但所谓的麻烦的毁灭性记忆在城市的公共空间留下了分裂的印记。由于对冲突和暴力的记忆，一楼的立面主要是坚固的，脱离的，不鼓励流体运动穿过它们的门槛。本文认为，公共建筑和空间的建筑设计具有恐惧记忆的交互再现属性。对贝尔法斯特市中心四个不同公共空间的建筑进行了比较分析，突出了建筑立面之间关系的因素，便于访问，以及公共空间的使用。
This article investigates architectural responses to everyday sociospatial practices in public spaces in the postconflict urban landscape of Belfast, where public buildings and façades impact pedestrian flows and movement patterns in the public space. While the city has an extended history of vibrant public spaces and active urban life throughout the first half of the twentieth century, devastating memories of the so-called Troubles leave imprints of division across the city’s public spaces. Inscribed by memories of conflict and violence, ground floor façades are mainly solid, disengaging, and do not encourage fluid movement across their thresholds. This article argues that the architectural design of public buildings and spaces characterise attributes of a reciprocal reproduction of memories of fear. A comparative analysis of the architecture of four different public spaces in Belfast city centre highlights factors that inform the relationship between the building façades, ease of accessibility, and use of the public space.
