SCOPE - THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK Research Question How does waterfront landscape activate the function of high-density cities?

Green infrastructure

(Herrington, 2016)

exp. strategic waterfront landscape

Guiding principle of waterfront landscape is in line with the theoretical framework of green infrastructure, involving strategic wetlands, sand dunes, mangroves and coral reefs. It reduces the threat of catastrophic floods and coastal erosion with minimal design intervention, while also revitalizing the land.

+

+

In contrast, "grey infrastructure", such as edge and seawalls used to control sea water, is often insufficient and sometimes even destructive.

Today, waterfront landscape and its surrounding vegetation cover have been proved to affect the landscape quality and overall landscape of coastal areas. This well-designed "second nature" is the second opportunity to deal with urbanization.

SCOPE - DESIGN INTENT Research Question How does waterfront landscape activate the function of high-density cities?

In the bustling city of Sydney, the morning peak is in the city center and the evening peak is in the suburbs, which itself is a predictable cycle. Waterfront landscape is also a predictable cycle for urban development.

Precedent

The Arcata Marsh, an engineered wetland that treats wastewater

Curl la Tourelle Head Architecture, Thames Tidal Powered School, Section with turbines in basement

In Hotaling Place in San Francisco, the waves in the paving follow the city’s original pre-landfill shoreline

Predictable Cycle

SCOPE - DESIGN DRIVEN

Develop successional design strategies of planting, habitat and hydrology for Glebe Island to break the harsh edge of the harbour, create urban waterfront and stimulate a new ecological and social narrative.

FORWARD

Edge

“Waterfront landscape are the most attractive landscapes…people always love to live close to water, and the famous ancient cities are all located in waterfront areas. Water is a good natural defense as well.”

(Hou, 2009)

“Edge restraints help define each space…Each edge section can be joined to the next in a variety of ways, creating many design possiwbilities.” (Oldcastle Infrastructure, 2019)

Process Driven

“Natural succession not interfering with land so that plants can grow back as they will, and animals return at their own rate. It doesn’t cost anything...” (Facemire, 2021)

"Narratives…intersect with sites, accumulate as layers of history, organize sequences, and inhere in the very materials and processes of the landscape. In various ways, stories 'take place.'"

Most of the foreshore was composed of water before land reclamation in the Bays.

At least 40% of the population now live within 100 kilometers of the water body.

With global warming, sea level is rising year by year. Flood events from the ocean are expected to increase.

City will have di-erentclimatesandspaces , so waterfront landscape design will become a popular choice for planning high-density cities.

Plan for long-term growth and renewal

Embrace ecology and culture

Enhance social interaction

OBJECTIVE 1

OBJECTIVE 1

OBJECTIVE 1

Flexible reclaimed land development policy changes over time and site needs. Design moves include returning farmland, demolish， recyclingandcutandfill.

Increase green space coverage and use sustainable materials such as porous pavement, wood and stone to minimize design intervention.

OBJECTIVE 2

OBJECTIVE 2

Regularly update and maintain the drainage system to maintain the functions of watercirculationandpurification.

Recognize the history of the site, create recreational facilities that can simulate the reclamation process or Silo shape.

OBJECTIVE 3 Introduce vegetation with purification function to establish a new ecology centered on Central Avenue and carry out natural succession.

OBJECTIVE 3 Design languages such as linkage, overlying and interspersed to deal with the edge of the canal and develop marine ecosystem.

Give priority to green transportation, build walkable communities and bring people from different backgrounds and cultures together.

OBJECTIVE 2 Use edge and surrounding building forms to re integrate undeveloped space and structure to activate various waterfront activities.

OBJECTIVE 3 Public waterfront areas provide various favorable edges, which not only provide access to water and learning opportunities for vulnerable groups, but also allow the participation of guardians.
