Remains Should Be Preserved: The Edge of Concrete is History

A bank that retains its original structure. The concrete edge of the old pier has not been covered or redone; its surface shows decades of wear, exposed rebar from corrosion, chips from boat impacts, and patched repairs. Cast iron mooring bollards remain in their original positions, with layers of peeling paint. A disused crane track is embedded in the ground. Newly added paving recedes, cuts around, or bypasses these elements when encountered. Avoid: wrapping the old pier edge with new granite, removing mooring bollards and tracks, repairing corrosion and chips to look new, or replacing physical preservation with interpretive signs.

一段保留原有構造的岸。舊碼頭的混凝土邊緣沒有被包覆或重做,表面有數十年的磨損、鏽蝕的鋼筋露頭、被船撞出的缺口與補過的痕跡;鑄鐵的繫船柱還立在原位,上面是層層剝落的漆;地面嵌著一段已經不通的起重機軌道。新加的鋪面在遇到它們時退讓、切開、繞過。避免:把舊碼頭邊緣用新的花崗石包起來、拆除繫船柱與軌道、把鏽蝕與缺口修補得像新的、用解說牌取代實體的保留。
