Owing to the completion of “Taipei railway underground project�, the valuable green space between MRT R11 and R12 station was reserved. From Taipei city scale perspective, this project could north extent to Taipei EXPO Park , south extent to West District , and finally complete a valuable, large-scale circle system.

We aimed to improve the accessibility from all directions in this project via two strategies: smoothing the elevation and breaking through all the barriers. People will be more able to pass through this urban green space.

Basing on the relatively important role as a green space that this site plays in the urban area, we expected to connect theentire ring system of the city via this linear park. In order to achieve the goal, the green corridor would be extended bylinking tree canopy. Furthermore, we expected this park could not only activate the new lifestyle / relationship in the citybut improve the development of neighborhood.

Surrounding area has been developed as one of the most prosperous district with great amenities in Taipei city.

Via reducing the barriers of terrain and structures to improve accessibility and redesigning the landscape, paving and planting to increase the opportunity of gathering and stay.

Locating in between MRT R11 and R12 stations, this linear park contains two spatial characteristics: open space with greenery at ground level and transportation system at underground level. Such kind of unique spatial structure which could only be found in this place connects many of important green space in Taipei city.

Tamsui Railway Line, the oldest railway line in Taiwan, was replaced with underground MRT system after cessation in 1988. This project could rejuvenate the urban historical fabrication in a perspective with more publicity by replacing the old railway with a open green space with accessibility.

[Landscape & Architecture Layers] [Planting System]

Following “ All Canopy” design strategy and adjusting the density of trees to smoothen cold concrete feeling of surroundings and create a continuously sheltered green belt.

Existing Planting- Discrete Dissonant Sound

Proposed Planting- Multilayered Symphony

[Paving System]

Using 5 different color of close lightly pebble to create curvy shape paving instead of stiff shape, in order to create universal and safe public space.

Proposed Function

Architecture plays a very important role to be the first impression of the linear park. Providing multiple-use at Zhongshan Elevated City Stage, the original MRT entrance transformed to be a multilayered , semiopen structure. The stage not only provides space for event but smoothen urban landscape.

[Playground Bridge Construction Documentation]

An all age-oriented playground-Constellation Play Area was placed . Via the elevated terrain, Existing structures could be moderately covered. And the transformation of steps follows the terrain hence could provides resting space for the users. Moreover, a bridge was placed in between existing trees to provide playing space.

In order to reduce deviation and improve construction quality, entire bridge was modularized for precast producing. The structure could be divided to three parts: typical units, curve units and column units.

Playground Bridge Plan

Railing design followed the geometry system of linear park. Moreover, using stainless steel cable to replace traditional steel bar as the protective installation. Cable is more exible and less visible than bar, which could make the entire structure visually lighter.

Nan-Shan Cemetery is one of the oldest cemeteries in Taiwan . Since Zheng Kingdom , thousands of deads have buried here until now. Situated next to Tainan downtown area , however , wouldn't participated in the development of whole Tainan area , Nan-shan cemetery still keep the orginal landscape and enviroment . In recent years , on account to the Spawling of urban area , it is necessary to give this cemetery a new role in the future .

Such a unique site should not only be a cemetery , it could have capacity to be a memorial space invoking yearning . With the identity of historic role, Nan-Shan Cemetery would have potential to be a pioneer project of cemetery planning and a new representive project of Tainan .

URBAN PARK

Blank of City The situation among site and the surrounding roads is two contrasts. The development of the road system almost excludes the site.

[Issue] How could a historical cemetery coexist with an increasingly developing city?

Nanshan Cemetery, a historical place with more than 500 years, contains numerous of memories and emotions but continuously pushed out the developing plan of entire city. These years, under the pressure of urban expansion, the planning of this cemetery emerged as a unignorable issue.

[ Crematorium Concept ]

According to functional consideration, the entire building was divided into three part: ofďŹ ce, lounge and crematorium and created a courtyard as a buffer zone. The spatial structure of architecture was closely related to exterior space and landscape; a hill with small scope of woods was placed at the northeast side of the building to separate car circulation from this area.

Location of this project used to be a Japanese Buddhist temple "Nishi Honganji".

This temple was not only a religional building but a temporary columbarium for Japanese soldiers who sacrified in Pacific War . After the war , this place briey became a detention place for political prisoner after February 28 Incident happened . Today , most of the buildings are no longer exist . People come to this place for taking a rest after shopping in Ximending.

NISHI HONGAN-JI PLAZA is established as an urban plaza for the neighborhood and the tourists in Ximending . By conserving symbolic elements of each history events , this project can once again become a new attractive factor in Ximending that invoking its own unique historical identity .

[ Historical Events ] Between Expansion s...

After 1876, Taipei Prefecture replaced Tainan to be the administrative center of Taiwan. Commercial activities was getting booming.

Located at the nearest position to west-gate of city, this site contained great potential to be a development center.

Commercial / Political ...

Japan wielded the sceptre of Taiwan after 1895, a modern urban renewal plan immediately took place.

The city wall was demolished and numerous of function facilities was added to the surroundings. In between commercial zone and administrative zone, this site was given a new role, religious center.

Linear Market ...

Since 1945 the end of WW2, Nationalist government of China began its management of Taiwan. With increasing growing of commercial activities and the expansion of population(Solders and their families for China), a brand new commercial building was built for civilian. Meanwhile, this site was crowded by all kind of illegal residences.

Blank of Urban center...

Due to the moving of developing center, commercial buildings demolishing work was finished in early 1990, the original site including railway was replaced by a linear green zone.

Owing to this, the skyline was opened again.

The wood structure of the temple was totally destroyed in a fire.

Project: Urban Branch ...

Present, Ximen shopping district still remains as one of the most famous attraction of Taipei. My final vision of this site is relinking this site with entire region development. In order to achieve this, a new transportation system was established. This system could not only create an safe network of moving but support the development of this region.
