Difference from Contemporary Urban Landscape: The Shoreline Has Its Own Problems

A public space defined by water conditions. Contemporary urban landscapes deal with green spaces, residual spaces, and resilience in cities; waterfront renewal faces a set of constraints not found elsewhere: flood control elevation regulations, twice-daily tidal fluctuations, overtopping during typhoons, vessel passage and mooring, and views cut off by embankments. These conditions determine the cross-section, and the cross-section determines all design. Avoid: treating the waterfront as a general linear park, ignoring the impact of flood control elevation and tidal fluctuations, making the cross-section design unrelated to water levels, treating water only as background scenery.

一段被水的條件決定的公共空間。當代都市景觀處理的是城市裡的綠地、剩餘空間與韌性;濱水更新面對的是一組別的地方沒有的限制:防洪的高程規定、每天兩次的潮差、颱風時的越波、船舶的通行與停靠、被堤防切斷的視線。這些條件決定了斷面,斷面決定了所有的設計。避免:把水岸當成一般的帶狀公園處理、忽略防洪高程與潮差的影響、讓斷面設計與水位無關、把水只當成背景的風景。
