Definition: Returning the Production Shoreline to People

A waterfront transformed from industrial to public use. Originally, this area was a dock, warehouses, and freight railway, with fences, controls, and no public access; now the fences have been opened, and the shoreline has become a continuous promenade and plaza, but the dock edges, bollards, and railway tracks remain in place. The new and old clearly show which came first: the newly laid paving bypasses the old structures, neither demolishing them nor pretending they are new. Avoid: clearing all industrial relics to create a clean new park, recreating structures using an antique imitation style, having new paving directly cover old tracks and edges, making the waterfront a green space unrelated to the city's history.

一段從工業轉為公共的水岸。原本這裡是碼頭、倉庫與貨運鐵道,有圍牆、有管制、一般人進不來;現在圍牆被打開,岸線變成連續的步道與廣場,但碼頭的邊緣、繫船柱與鐵軌都還留在原地。新舊之間看得出誰先誰後:新做的鋪面繞過舊的構造物,不把它們拆掉也不假裝它們是新的。避免:把工業遺構全部清除做成乾淨的新公園、用仿舊的手法重做構造物、讓新鋪面直接覆蓋掉舊的軌道與邊緣、把水岸做成與城市歷史無關的綠地。
