Submergible Lowland: Flooded Annually by Design

A low-lying area expected to be flooded. It is located outside the levee, close to the water, with permeable gravel or flood-tolerant grass paving. Facilities are minimal and all can be submerged: concrete seating volumes, stainless steel columns, no wood or electrical appliances. Mud marks from the last flood and driftwood washed ashore are left on the ground. A gauge nearby records historical water levels. Avoid: setting up wooden boardwalks and electrical facilities in the floodable area, using water-sensitive materials and plants, treating flooding as a disaster to be prevented, making this area indistinguishable from the park inside the levee.

一片預期會被淹的低地。它位在堤防之外、靠近水面的位置,鋪面是透水的碎石或耐淹的草地,設施極少而且都能泡水:混凝土的座椅量體、不鏽鋼的柱、沒有木頭與電器。地面上留著上次淹水後的泥痕與被沖來的漂流木。旁邊有一根標尺記錄歷年的水位。避免:在可淹沒區設置木棧道與電力設施、使用怕水的材料與植栽、把淹水當成需要防止的災害、讓這一區看起來與堤內的公園沒有差別。
