Skyline and Setbacks: New Buildings Not Adjacent to Water

A row of new buildings set back from the waterfront. They are not built right on the water's edge, but are set back at least thirty meters behind the promenade and green belt; their height increases in a stepped manner from the water's edge inland, with the first row near the water being lower and the high-rises in the back, so the skyline appears layered rather than a continuous wall when viewed from the water. Gaps are left between the buildings, aligned with inland streets, allowing visual corridors to pass through. Avoid: constructing new buildings right on the waterfront boundary, arranging high-rises into a continuous wall, having no visual corridors between buildings, allowing public waterfront promenades to be occupied by private properties.

一排從水岸退後的新建築。它們沒有貼著水邊蓋,而是退縮到步道與綠帶之後至少三十米;高度從水邊往內陸階梯狀升高,靠水的第一排較低,後排才是高樓,因此從水面看過去天際線有層次而不是一道牆。建築之間留出對準內陸街道的空隙,讓視廊穿過。避免:讓新建築貼著水岸邊界興建、把高樓排成連續的一道牆、讓建築之間沒有視線通廊、使沿岸的公共步道被私有基地佔用。
