Central Activity Zone: For Uncertain Uses

A central reserved zone in a pedestrian street. There is a continuous strip of space, about four meters wide, along the centerline of the street, which is usually empty—no fixed planters, sculptures, or seating, only a flat pavement with regularly spaced ground sockets and power supply box covers. This strip can be used at any time: today it might be a few stalls, tomorrow a small performance, on weekends a market with tents, and on weekdays just extra circulation space. The image shows the usual state: only a few movable chairs are casually dragged to the center for people to sit, the rest is empty. Circulation on both sides remains smooth. This deliberate emptiness is to accommodate unforeseen events. Avoid: adding fixed planters and sculptures in the central zone, filling it with facilities, having no reserved sockets and power supply on the ground, depicting it as a permanent installation area.

一條徒步街道的中央保留帶。街道的中線位置有一條寬約四公尺的連續帶狀空間,平時是空的——沒有固定的花台、雕塑與座椅,只有平整的鋪面與間隔配置的地面插孔與供電箱蓋。這條帶可以隨時被使用:今天是幾個攤位、明天是一場小型表演、週末是市集的帳篷、平日就是額外的通行空間。畫面呈現平常的狀態:帶內只有幾張可移動的椅子被人隨意拖到中間坐,其餘空著。兩側的通行仍然順暢。這種刻意的空是為了容納還沒發生的事。避免:在中央帶加設固定的花台與雕塑、把它填滿設施、讓地面沒有預留的插孔與電源、把它畫成永久性的裝置區。
