"The Origins of Taichung City - The Railway"

Taichung city is developed from the railway and its peripheral area, which was originally used to ship raw materials such as sugar, iron, rice, and wine, but now this city has become the most vital transportation hub in central Taiwan. However, as the city centre shifted, the central parts of Taichung and areas around the train station have experienced urban decay, leaving an "Empty Frame" as a result of its fast expansion.

"Elevated Railway - The Possibility of Urban Sewing"

The purpose of "Taichung Urban District Elevated Railway Project", which launched in 2006, aims to solve the issue of uneven development between the front and rear station areas. Besides that, this program also attempts to promote new opportunities in the regions by land readjustment and redevelopment.

Vehicle circulation (include future)

Bikeway (include future)

Land use (include future)

In the past, the railway in the city was designed as a “three-dimensional engineering” to layer circulations with several different elevations; the underpass for cars or what people called “lu-kong”, and the embankment for trains called” loo-khang” (in Taiwanese).

Position of the future plan

However, whether it is elevated railway or land readjustment, it can only fix superficial problems such as the traffic circulation and connecting the outskirts of the city; however, it's inefficient at developing a region without any regional planning. Therefore, we should reposition the overall city planning of these areas, preserving the memory that connects and resonates with the urban culture as well as integrating future city landscape.

"Filled the Flat Frame with the Three-dimensional Space"

In an urban perspective, this type of deserted space can be regarded as an empty hole, surrounded by the roads in the city context, creating an “Empty Frame”. Our design concept is to reconnect the site to the old town areas and bring the railway's historic back to the site, by transforms the spaces of the railway such as the embankment and underpass into the sense of space.

Because the building was constructed upper the elevated railway and main roads, its curtain wall needs to ensure the noise from transportation is reduced. Also, the summer in Taichung's urban areas is not cosy sometimes. Therefore, temperature control would be a vital issue in the wall design. We tried not to rely on the air conditioner. Instead, we used sustainable methods to solve the problem such as vertical greening.

"Before The City - The Si Shih Jia Industrial Area"

The site is located at Kaohsiung harbour, which was the first place to develop the heavy-chemical industry named Si Shih Jia area. Although these factories offer numerous employment opportunities and economic advantages, the industrial area inhibits connectivity between the city and the port.

Due to government policy and public outcry over air pollution, factories were relocated to northern Kaohsiung after 1990, which caused the harbour area's industry to decline. The "Kaohsiung Multifunctional Commerce and Trade Park" was established as a result.

"Urban Challenge - Discontinuous Green System"

The original urban plan does not have a regulation about open spaces. This results in the number of green blocks being divided into various discarded spaces in urban centres. Our green system aims to solve the problem between buildings and urban spaces and reconnect each block by establishing a green corridor.

Changes in extreme weather and climate events, such as typhoons and droughts, are the primary way that most people experience climate change. Over the last 50 years, Human-induced climate change has already increased the number and strength of some of these extreme events.

Our flood systems were designed to withstand a once-in-50-year flood, or the deluge from Fanapi was previously estimated to occur only once every 200 years.

Due to the weather and dengue fever, it is hard to acquire or restore freshwater in Kaohsiung city. This system is designed for water reuse and regeneration, we used natural resources like the ocean and sun to create more freshwater. Through the system, we could solve water shortages and gain the energy that cities need.

STEP 1 - CLASSIFY

Before the overall planning, these urban spaces are classified into developed and undeveloped areas.

STEP 1 - REPAIR

Designed a water recycling system to solve water reuse for the brownfields and residentials on the site.

STEP 1 - SELECT

Classify complex land use and select several vital spots on the site to develop the urban space.

STEP 1 - SELECT

STEP 2 - PLANNING

We formulate the various design roles for each green block with different properties.

STEP 3 - CONNECT

Reconnect the interrupted green space and reconnect the border between the city and the port.

STEP 1 - SELECT

STEP 2 - RESTORE

Combine engineering and ecological remediation to promote the process of soil remediation.

STEP 3 - CYCLE

In the next 50 years, the system will continue to operate until the pollution remediation is completed.

STEP 1 - SELECT

STEP 2 - DRIVE

Extend the linear parks, green lands, and riverbanks to the nodes of the open space.

STEP 3 - COMMUNICATE

Create several leisure green belts for people living in the commercial block.

Kaohsiung has been suffering from floods for many years. Moreover, the chances of extreme climates were suggested that will increase in the next 50 years. This new green system is designed for a series of calamities such as typhoons, floods or saltwater intrusion.

Although the annual rainfall of Kaohsiung city is twice higher as the world average, the dry period is as long as 5 to 8 months. This results in the water resource that can be used effici-ently in the urban area being less than the total annual rainfall. This system combines a series of engineering and ecosystems to establish a sustainable energy chain that can store and reuse water resources.

Chapter 1 - After Extreme Natural Disasters

Dameisha is one of the vital components of the gateway to the coastal area of Shenzhen, which is designated to be a public facility in planning.

In 2018, the base was hit hard by Typhoon Mangroves. The role of typhoon waves brings two serious disasters in the Dameisha sea area, one is coastal erosion, and the other is flooding after the embankment caused by the waves.

Solution

The renovation of the park will solve the issues of outdated facilities, the impact of extreme climate and ecological uniformity:

1. Reshape resilient seashore park landscape;

2. Rejuvenate the park into a spot of Shenzhen city leisure;

3. Lead the Shenzhen East Golden Triangle down the pathway to sustainable development.

PROJECT UNDERSTANDING

Under the overall requirements of establishing a “world-class green vitality coastal zone” in Shenzhen, the project construction pays more attention to the global driving, cultural connotation and international quality. However, the linkage effect of tourism consumption behaviour and surrounding businesses is weak.

In order to achieve this goal, we designed three different protections at various levels. Each protection has its own purpose such as wave control, flood control, and level control.

The current tourism products are mostly resource-based and have a high degree of homogeneity. By establishing unique shorelines such as infrastructures but having specialshaped attractions.

We add various sustainable elements to the construction. In wave control, we focus on making an ecological submerged reef. In flood control, we tried to create a wetland field. In level control, we turn most breakwaters on land into multifunctional seaside parks.

"An Energy Belt of Resilience and Ecology, A New Stage for Urban Leisure."

PROTECTION A : WAVE CONTROL

In response to coastal erosion, a line defence strategy can be applied to resist surface-wide loss. Three common approaches are available in international practi-ces, including an artificial beach, headland control and detached breakwater. With the EFDC model, the design is to ensure the stability of the overall flow field of the Dameisha sea area and the ecological reefs.

Not only beach protection, but also a string of green seas and an energy belt of resilient and ecological environment. Not only a park, but also a Meisha overlook a new stage for city leisure.

PROTECTION B : FLOOD CONTROL

We build the second line of defense for coastal protection using a green belt system in conjunction with hard engineering. We use modular design to streamline the dolosse’s body for a multi-activity plaza zone that we created for the general public. This will effectively expel flooding caused by storm surges, and as a buffer zone, it provides the extra benefit of wave energy dissipation.

Introduction - The First Artificial Canal in Taiwan

The Tianliao River is the first artificial canal in Taiwan, with a record of excavation a hundred years ago. The length of the river is about 3.5 kilometres, and the drainage basin is about 431 ha which passes through Xinyi District and Renai District.

In recent years, with changes in economic growth and urban population concentration, the sewage of city has been discharged into the Tianliao River without purification, making the water turbid and smelly, also hard to get close.

Present - The Most Polluted River in Keelung

"From Keelung port to the city, finally into mountains and rivers." Tianliao River is still a vital part of the Keelung landscape and image today. Therefore, the main target of this project is to solve the problem of sewage discharge and improve the landscape space on both sides of the banks at the same time.

"Water Quality and Environment Improvement"

In recent years, Keelung City has tried to change the original appearance of the city whose a messy water environment and old infrastructure. Several public space improvement plans were proposed, and then extended all the way east to the urban area.

"Urban Link - The Eastward Development Plan"

The Tianliao River is the most vital link between the port area and the city boundary, the positioning of the canal is not only a floodway between cities but also an important corridor that carried the culture of the city and the sense of place. Travellers in Keelung usually enter from the port area, visit the city, and then go into the mountains and rivers around Keelung. Therefore, the Tianliao River is a part of the landscape that can achieve Keelung's image.

Remediation of Water Pollution

Remediation is the process that is used to treat polluted groundwater or river water by removing the pollutants or converting them into harmless resources.

Fundamental Structure

Spaces and facilities should be located above Q5 1.67m as much as possible. Most Boxes are integrated structure, which is constructed with landscape platform. To integrate both functions, we establish a series of platform facades based on two types of infrastructures:

1. Type A: Culvert Box

2. Type B: Large Culvert Box

The Aims of Facilities Facades:

Solving the problem of sewage discharge and improving the landscape space on both sides of the banks at the same time. There are three issues that need to solve:

1. Platform co-construction.

2. The prevention of water odour.

3. Integrated structure with river image.

"DETAILS: PRECAST CONCRETE"

Because of the remediation, both riverbanks are constructed with the culvert box. However, the site does not have enough space to deliver a bank that is integrally formed, so we divide the bank into two parts. Each part is precast concrete and they will be assembled with the existing bank on the site. Besides, we overcome the odour issue by planting flowering vegetation which could reduce the odour spread such as sweet osmanthus and trailing lantana. These plants could become a buffer area between the leisure space and the culvert box.
