Waterfront: Dry Dock Plaza - Sunken Giant Container

A dry dock converted into a public space. The scene is viewed from the ground level above: a huge concrete trench, ten meters deep and two hundred meters long, with stepped sloping walls on both sides, covered with original marks and streaks of rust water; the bottom is a flat area, with the original concrete keel blocks still arranged in their positions, and people walking among them. At one end, the dock gate is still visible. The ground level above has only a simple thin cable railing and a few low lights. Avoid: filling in the dry dock, covering the original sloping walls with new stairs, demolishing the keel blocks and dock gate, adding large structures inside the dock that obscure its scale.

一座改成公共空間的乾船塢。畫面從上方的地面層看下去:一個深十米、長兩百米的巨大混凝土凹槽,兩側是階梯狀的斜坡壁,佈滿原本的痕跡與鏽水流下的條紋;底部是平坦的場地,原本放置船體的混凝土墊墩仍然排列在原位,人在其間走動。一端是仍然可見的塢門。上方的地面層只有一道簡單的細索欄杆與幾盞低燈。避免:把船塢填平、用新階梯覆蓋原本的坡壁、拆除墊墩與塢門、在塢內加建遮住尺度的大型構造。
