CONCEPT _ Flow Control
Ecologically sensitive areas that require much less availability; agricultural areas need to have some vehicles for transportation; residential and commercial areas need the traffic convenience. Between these areas are some public transportation, carrying and evacuation the crowd.
Learning from river’s water-regulating mechanism: Whenever the torrential rain, great quantity of water pouring into the river in a short period. It dramatically demands regulation otherwise will result in flooding. At this moment, the lakes play an important role in water regulation, the excess water is temporarily stored in lakes, gradually disperses after the heavy rain. Lakes become water storage system during the the low rainfall period, let the river flow remain stable. tributary

Fishermen are engaged in aquaculture on workdays, journeying between fish farms and home. On holidays, visitors from the city come here to spend their vacations, learn wetland ecology and experience rural life. During holidays, fishermen became tour guides, teaching local knowledge and provide their houses as the B&Bs, lead the visitors to experience their daily life.

以一首著名元曲為開端，這個計畫挑戰的是對於生態地景及建築構造之間的和諧關 係。這首詩歌主要由一系列的名詞及形容其狀態的詞彙所組成，我將這些名詞與基 地中的一些在地元素做對照：枯藤老樹對應於基地中的紅樹林；昏鴉與季節性來此 棲息的候鳥及當地野生動物做對照；小橋、人家則對應基地中的構造物及當地漁民 的高架房舍；流水對照鹽水溪的水文；古道對應舊河道的軌跡；西風則對照當地的 氣候條件。以這樣的對照作為基地分析的基礎，來啟發設計靈感，發展出適於當地 地景的建築。
