Abstract

The transportation system is a necessary element in urban assembly, and the design of the transportation system has become the core elements of urban design. This research points out the transportation system as an expression of the conscious landscape through the combination of aesthetic gaze and urban design. Conscious landscape is an extensive concept of landscape. It is based on the existence of "landscape", but its existence mainly relies on “consciousness.” Based on the discussion of consciousness, the aesthetic gaze of the city starts from economic consciousness and takes the cultural capital system as the foundation of consciousness. This research discusses the transportation system around Taipei city, especially taking the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) as an example. It is like a blood vessel that runs through the city, and its penetrating characteristics divide Taipei city. From the perspective of sightseeing and economic awareness, the MRT is a landscape with special positioning currently. MRT combines the nature of transportation with strongly economic display. In addition to being a traffic landscape, it is also a type of conscious landscape. MRT is positioned as conscious landscape, which is a description that is very specific to the characteristics of strong economic map in human brain. This includes the impression of the economic field superimposed by the MRT network nodes, and the conscious landscape is instrumental but tends to be life-oriented. The aesthetic gaze of the city locates the transportation system as a conscious landscape, and the design is the aesthetic practice of capital.
