Abstract

 This essay first explains the importance of Foyle River to Derry City and the relevant content of Foyle River Edge and analyzes how to split the independence of the hard edge of Foyle River. In addition, it also studies how to split the convention of urban edge space with obvious boundaries while discussing how to split this hard edge, laying a theoretical foundation for the construction of architectural space functions and its spatial order and place image. On this basis, combined with practical cases, it seeks ways to split the constraints of rivers in urban edge space, explores ways to enhance the sense of identity, experience and place, and realizes the communication and integration of people, buildings and nature, providing a theoretical basis and thinking strategy for activating urban edge space, while promoting the vigorous development of the community and creating a vibrant riverside edge.
