-The ‘Essence Desire’ of human-

In the book ‘How Cities Work’ by Yoo HyunJoon, there is some theory about the relationship between the city and human essence desire as well as behavior. I choose some of them and then develop the concept of my design.

-Taipei & New Taipei City -15minutes-

According to the 15-minute city recently as a way towards more sustainable, livable, and healthy futures.

-Reason of Connection-

Connect the old buildings in Ximen Area and create new value in the exsisting city.

A performing place sometimes gather people together holding special events. If there’s no events holding, people can still stop here enjoying the different feeling from the city center.

There are many ways to get close to the river, but never try a way to sit beside the river and watch some movies as well as have some beer with friends.

People usally like to gather and stop at the end of the circulation. Besides, be close to the green is something essential for human being.

Children can get to the school by using the bridge whick connect the road near their home.

Entering the school at 2 or 3 floor of the building, create another interesting way to arrive school

-Urban Planning-

I pick these nodes to progress my design to reduce barriers between river and people, extend events of Ximen walking district, re-use the vacancy as well.The yellow areas are the main nodes and most of the activities happened here. And the orange area are secondary nodes, providing people with temporary stops.

-Bridge Floor Planning-

Analyzing the relationship between different scales of bridge floor and human activities.
