Urban waterfronts are the geographic center of a city, and the nearest gathering area for residents. How to develop the waterfront green space that provide clean recreational places for human health, and promote the urban economic development at the same time?
What need to Improve?
Provide more opportunities for people to touch the water
200 英尺
deep water, cannot touch closely
Add trees and seatings on site to provide opportunities for surrounded staff and visitors to stop
Goals & Objectives 1. Provide people more opportunities to touch the water
Remove concrete, broden water surface
Use natural stone instead of polished concrete along water edge, stream bed, and steps
2. Use urban-natural circumstance as the transition from urban canal to natural water system
Use curved water edge instead of straight edge, create a natural simulation environment
Add plantings along water edge
3. Flexibility for held cultural related activities
Movable stage or fountains under water to celebrate cultural related activities
