TAOYUAN MUSEUM OF ART,
Taoyuan, Taiwan
The Taoyuan Museum of Art site is located in Qingpu district, specifically the Taiwan High Speed Rail - Taoyuan Station Area, which is part of the regional plan of Taoyuan Aerotropolis. Other areas of high priority development for Taoyuan City are ZhongLi, Luchu , Dayuan and the special district of Taoyuan Airport Area.
CITY AND MOBILITY In previous decades cities were designed for automobiles. The car oriented infrastructure limited urban life and introduced vast areas of paved surfaces. Pollution, traffic jams and noise became part of city life. Less people opted to walk to their destinations, instead driving from one parking lot to another. Street culture vanished and thus activities became held in malls in lieu of public spaces.
NATIONAL-REGIONAL CONNECTION
Metro : Taoyuan Airport - Linghang- Taoyuan HSR Station -Taoyuan Sports Park - Zhongli
INTERNATIONAL - NATIONAL CONNECTION
Taoyuan Airport - Taoyuan High Speed Train Station
REGIONAL-LOCAL CONNECTION
By creating and improving pedestrian zones, bike paths and green spaces, a sustainable transportation network can be achieved. It will rebalance the public space and create a city for people..
As an emerging district, Qingpu has great potential to be a future Taoyuan’s most developed districts, ready for new means of mobility such as walking, cycling and public transport.
QINGPU DISTRICT MOBILITY The current circulation is virtually a complete loop, with the recently finished metro line completing the public transportation network. Based on these conditions, Qingpu has a great potential to become a pedestrian-oriented city.
A new ring-system for Qingpu diverts traffic from the main boulevard, creating a pedestrian and bike friendly zone along the main axis of transportation. In order to connect the metro station with all local districts, a shuttle bus line can be introduced potentially to Qingpu, with Taoyuan HSR Station as the hub of the new shuttle bus system. This strategy will connect commercial, cultural and leisure activities in Qingpu.Taoyuan HSR Station as the hub of the new shuttle bus system.
Campus - convention centre
Park - Riverbank
- Cluster buildings with a variety of program as a destination
- The design of the river park should respect the natural environment
- Metro station as the centre of pedestrian network - Integrated public space to unify the campus
- River as a connector, not a barrier
Central Business District /THSR station - High density office buildings - Multi-layer pedestrian system - Plaza as a central axis
DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY & VISION
Strategy 01: Extend the river green belt into a network that connects the open space, such as the nearby park, school and pedestrian zones.
Strategy 02: The new metro station creates a central node, connecting nearby pedestrian, cycle and public transport networks.
Strategy 03: Taoyuan Museum of Arts as a trigger to generate a vivid city life and attractive destination.
Strategy 04: Strengthen the human scale connections by breaking the current urban fabric and huge plots.

Branding an identity for Taoyuan and global trends and developments, the master plan should create an attractive, liveable city with healthy and sustainable networks, a clean infrastructure, optimal connection to nature and quality of life. The diagram represents this approach: the global trends and developments feed together create a strong framework for the development of Qingpu, ultimately leading to the future city.
TAOYAUN MUSEUM OF ART - LANDSCAPE DESIGN
Design concept The design language of the park is in sync with the TMoA external shape in order to allow for a harmonic and integrated space. Connection between the two sides of the site is ensured by the “8” shaped path loop, which distinguishes itself from the remain path network by its wider profile and the very bright orchid trees rows. The most important surrounding structures (High Speed Train Station and Convention Centre) are linked to the TMoA site through the “Green Boulevard” on the axis of the main traffic road and the art village is integrated into the design by three main axis of connectivity to the TMoA and by the continuous path tissue.
Design language
Connectivity
Water management The water management principle aims to collect, store and infiltrate the clean rain water on the site. Through it, the peak discharge on the street drainage system is eased and at the same time water is provided to plant’s consumption. The water captured on the roof is directed to retention basins and collected there. These basins enable the water storage in the voids present in the gravel bed below the basin area. The existing irrigation canals were reshaped to match the design language, although their core drainage and flowing directions remain the same.
Access & circulation
Planting scheme As a general planting principle native plant species and characteristic ornamental plants were selected in reference to the Taiwanese climate and culture. This approach ensures total adaptation of the vegetation to the site. The plant selection and distribution along the site aims to provide different environments and experiences, as the ground cover combined with typical Taoyuan region woodland trees provides an overall lush and tropical atmosphere. Wildflower meadows will provide area for active recreation such as sports or temporary events.

MARKTPLEIN HENGELO,
Hengelo
The Martkplein is one of Hengelo’s large public squares. Because of the many vacant retail spaces around the square, a somewhat “distant material” of gray concrete tiles, and a unfortunate connectivity to the square, the dynamism is lacking. One passes the square but does not feel invited to stay. Due to the diversity of architectural styles, the unity in the square is very thin.
THE CITY CENTER OF HENGELO The current centre is “decorated” with gray a carpet which, despite its unity, it does not radiate heat. Changing that carpet and make it pass through the entire city centre will bring a warm atmosphere. Anchored in the carpet are the Market Square, the Town Hall Square and the Church Square, which are related to each other by the characteristic high element of each one. Due to the different functions and surrounding architecture of the squares, the design for the Marktplein focuses on spatial and programmatic interventions in order to achieve a better embedding.
MARKPLEIN, KERKPLEIN AND STADHUISPLEIN Every square with its own experience and sphere of influence at the city centre.
The squares are characterized by the Brink Tower, Lambertus Basilica and the Town Hall and tower form strong landmarks.
The Telgenflat, Brink Tower, market master’s house and Cosapand are special buildings within or on the edges of the Marktplein.

CONCEPT AND DESIGN PRINCIPLE The theme ‘food & culture’ serves as the design concept for the Marktplein.
A transparent market hall referring to the city’s industrial past is the bustling place of various stalls where a nice snack or meal can be enjoyed or where the (agricultural) region presents itself in the city through the selling of its products. Derived events, such as a food truck festival, or vegetable garden market, have a wide range and draw a large diversity of visitors. The surrounding buildings connect to the theme through related craft shops and catering. The ‘Food & culture’ functions as a link between the region’s landscape and the city.

Trees’ frame around the square for clear spatial definition and diversity in space experience. Introduction of the market hall, a steel and open structure that refers to the former metal industry of the city. Food stalls and other events activate the structure and the square area itself. Removal of the plastic advertising columns, bicycle parking and planters along facades for a better involvement of the facades and the square.
25
“DRAWING� THE MARKTPLEIN
The square is spatially defined by a row of Tilia (which traditionally appear on village squares, are native, attractive for insects and, when flowering, spread a delightful scent) and by different experience zones: A plinth area directly along the facades, where entrepreneurs are invited to present their goods and to offer terraces; The square zone that functions as a residence and movement area; The open square floor, suitable for a multitude of events, from the weekly commodity market to (food) festivals. 26
The pattern on the square floor is a reference to the salt towers in Hengelo’s countryside.
The lowered square serves as a buffer room in extreme rainfall

TAINAN LIBRARY LEARNING GARDENS,
Tainan, Taiwan
As part of the new Public Library of Tainan plot, the municipality launched a competition for its park grounds design. There are many cultural and educational facilities around the site area, Furthermore it is a densely populated area of the ​​ city, which brings to the park a very important sense of community.

CONCEPT AND DESIGN PRINCIPLE Based on the fact that the plot is right next to the Library, the concept of the design is to create open areas that can function as both recreational and as “learning rooms�.These rooms are all surrounded by trees, giving the feeling of enclosure and diversity in between them. To keep coherent with the Library orthogonal design, a horizontal band grid was introduced, which has the function of guide the storm water runoff into the collection points present in the park.

KANAALPARK,
Leiden
The design for Kanaalpark soughts connectivity with the campus of the Leidsche Schans and the Bètaplein. A pedestrian zone with places to stay and a green area with route structures from and to the campus and Bètaplein that are separated from the car access, so that the campus feeling is extendend to the Kanaalpark. Car traffic is drawn by a clear one ring structure with an unambiguous parking solution. The traffic areas are made as compact as possible, so that the green and water surface can be enlarged. Kanaalpark distinguishes itself through biodiversity and sustainability in the outdoor space facility; visible rainwater drainage and infiltration in rain gardens, indigenous planting that attracts insects and birds, and a robust materialisation with sustainable materials. In this way, a bright and pleasant outdoor space is created.

Thematic areas & program Three thematic areas with distinct base conditions: south section where the former railinfrastructure is raised on a dike; the middle section around the new station; and the north section, where the green corridor connect s to the lake of the former sugar refinery factory. In the station area and the lakeside area, the main programmatic theme is to integrate existing/planned functions in a coherent way, adding only a few new programmatic items; urban forest and sculpture park. The dike section of the green corridor currently lacks public programme. In this area we aim to activate the former railway and reconnect the surrounding neighborhoods to the new green corridor. The newly proposed programme reacts on the surroundings: in the more quiet area we envisage herb gardens, or a teahouse pavilion. In the more vibrant locations, near the school, we propose sport-related activites, and reactivate the connection to the water by introducing a boardwalk. All proposed programme is clearly aiming to intensify the useof the area, both for local residents and for residents from all Taichung.

HOEVE DE WATERKANT,
Herk-de-Stad, Belgium
The Hoeve de Waterkant is cattle farm located in Herk-de-Stad which experiences frequent floods and waterlogging, making the farm related activities difficult to perform. The intervention, however, must be thought not only within the farm limits but also to the valley itself and supported by the following visions: Mixture of activities and functions Recreational destination in the rural environment Spatial and financial development

Current condition
Hoeve de Waterkant land ownership 70
The current water system can not handle the large amounts of water at peak flows which causes the Schulens Meer to be flooded every year, resulting in damages to agriculture and natural systems. This issue is expected to increase due to climate changes and urbanization expansion which can potentially cause harm to the housing and businesses on the edge of the area. Thus arising the need to adjust the water system to the new conditions through an integrated vision between the stream valley and other dynamics like the natural welfare of the area and strengthen of its recreational potential.

General landscape intervention A. Water management During the course of time were carried out several interventions such as the construction of a water basin and channelled streams. Although the valley is naturally wet, currently unnatural actions occur in the system, providing floods in the summer and long-term water on land as a result of close siphons. At higher grounds the water will be retained and infiltrated on sandy soils, slowing down its flow, and discharged through the streams so that the peak storages disappear of the system. It is important as well to keep the clean water seepage flow separated from the contaminated water from the high agriculture fields. Tree plantation along the edge of the valley will allow retaining of water on the edge. Wet forests can absorb water on the edges and produce biomass. The streams at higher levels are also part of this planted network. The current water management is on the hand of both nature organizations and a single farmer, although the process Is not discussed between the parties. The proposal is to establish more networks, both organisational and physically. This cooperation will only benefit both parties by,for example, sharing knowledge.

B. Recreation and development In addition to contributing to the water retention and delayed discharge, the planting along the streams will enhance the environmental quality of the area while providing opportunities for recreational trails. New routes can be built along the edge of the valley, connecting farmers and entrepreneurs while providing beautiful views of the valley. Typical farms will get connected to a new recreational network, offering opportunities for farm sales and visibility and revitalization of this historic farms. These actions can also prevent the erosion of fertile agricultural land and mold a valuable green network for both people and wildlife. Until the 1930’s ian land use and strong landscape industrial park,
the valley was a recognizable landscape by the presence of agrarby the absence of forest and buildings. It displayed an open and character. By forest plantations and construction such as Van Halen this is partly lost.

73
HOEVE DE WATERKANT OPERATING MODELS The proposed models can be sorted into two main strategies: COMPENSATE
Ultimo Gruto The main focus of this model is keeping on with current business strategy. The excess water is reduced through the incorporation of two locks and a pump. Other structures such as microdigesters provide energy and heat, while reducing costs. The digestate matter that remains may be used in fermentation and manure. This model also creates a grazed pasture landscape where cattle breeding is enabled.
ADAPT
Natuuroeve The nature farm operation model is based on ecological principles, in which the natural area is used for cattle breeding, whereby the production of meat and dairy goods is associated with the creation and conservation of habitats and biomass through food forests and wet forests. The water stream is released from the dike, distributing the water drainage over the whole valley. Aditional income can be generated from leasure activities such as campimg site or canoe and mountain bike rental. 74
COMPENSATE
Verbrede Hoeve This model lessens the role of cattle and provides several additional revenue. The pastures are dug parallel to the Herk along the Houwersbeek, which creates a wet and dry zone and the excess water is collected by the water stream. Also, it provides helophyte cleaning of the nutrientrich water. Cattle breeding, camping, selling meat and receiving groups also generate income.
ADAPT
Wateroeve The water-rich conditions of the area play a central role in this model. In ponds, plants such as duckweed, algae, water fern, reeds and bulrush are grown so that the nutrients are absorbed and do not require any fertilization. The cleaned water is then discharged into the nature reserve. The cultivated species are high in protein and grow fast and can be used to not only feed the animals but also as a raw material in the bio-based industry. Also fish breeding can be added to the model. 75

Climate adaptation design research “LINT envisions a combination of increasing urbanization and an innovative design of public space. Within the public space different themes are addressed, for example a new public space could provide a good climate adaptation, increasing ecological wealth, space for new mobility, food production and improved spatial quality.” http://landscapeinterventions.nl/news
A new urban ecology enhancing the “urban habitats” for birds, insects and vegetation. The usage of vegetation can collect particulate matter and improve air quality, as well as contaminated soil cleansing.
Rainwater is collected in winter and used in summer. The water can also be filtered by using vegetation. The sound of falling or flowing water can prevent noise and be used as a play element.
Fruit, vegetables and herbs grow in the public space and are directly delivered to the inhabitants of the city. Fresh food products are brought as close as it can be to the residents.
The residential quality of the public space is increased and global warming related issues are tackled by the creation of shady spots and interesting microclimates. Movement for slow traffic is optimized, improving the quality of life.

PARK TER WALLE,
Menen, Belgium
Collaboration: Wolf Compernolle
The design points to the transformation of the Park ter Walle into a city park with a natural and active character, through re-using the old structures existing in the landscape. Current and new functions are integrated in order to promote sports (football, krachtball and skate), leisure and multifunctional use. The different areas and sceneries are connected and integrated into a green framework and a path system that ensures the intended connectivity. In the central area, the sport fields create an open and long viewshed across the park. The park’s water regulation is emphasized by the presence of bioswales, to where the runoff is directed. The leftovers of the groundworks nearby will be used to create grassy slopes with siting elements and play opportunities.

(initial stages)
The experimental green and healthy living! LINT landscape architecture was selected for the BPD competition “Proeftuin Erasmusveld”. Based on the core values of health, city and green, the sketch design aims to bring together these key points through a coexistence progrsm of households, accessabilities, recreation gardens and wildlife habitats provision. The housing is displayed in two types (low density blocks and single dwellings) with both types presenting a collective garden. The access and mobility are provided by a pedestrian and bicycle path network and by a car path to the psrking area beneath the blocks.

The gathered data was decipted into five different land ocupation classes: Dense grove - areas with high density of trees. Sparse grove - areas in which land ocupation is characterized by trees, although glade occupation is present. Scrubland - areas characterized by shrub and soil covering vegetation with no significant tree vegetation. Agricultural areas - farming areas, with or without houses surrounding. Landscape evolution
Agglomerations - areas with high concentration of built structures.
This attachment is about a first interpretation of the landscape evolution through transformations in the territory occupation over the last 60 years. The information was mapped into five different categories of territory occupation: 1945|1960s|1977|1998|2012

Collaboration: Ana Medeiros| Ana Moreira|Igor Domingues|Isabel Aragão|Joana Pizarro|Margarida Gonçalves|Sara Carvalho|Sofia Ribeiro
This three part exercise aims to promote strategies and ideas for the “castros” preservation. A “castro” is archeologic remains of agglomerations characteristic from the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula, dated from the Copper Age and Iron Age. Usually are located on top of the mountains due to these locations are the best providing natural defences spots.
TOURISM NETWORK Create a “castro” tourism network, taking advantage of the Porto airport proximity and other interesting sites nearby, such as Porto itself and Guimarães. Four distinctive were idealized:
routes
-Low Ave Valley -Medium/High Ave Valley -Basto Lands -Guimarães

RIO TINTO - PORTO GREENWAY,
Porto
Collaboration: Francisco Costa|JoĂŁo Rodrigues|Nelson Vidal|Tiago Ortega
The city of Porto pocesses a wide range of urban green areas and signifficant potential links between. It is essential to create a green network within the city and its surrounding locations, improving both the social and ecological dimentions.
Structuring vegetation identified
By having knowledge about spontaneous and cultivated vegetation in the portuguese context, the conception, planning and design of the greenway between Porto and Rio Tinto is driven by that knowledge. Therefore it is potentied a biodiverse connection and continuity.
