Connecting to the Block: Waterfront Not Just a Line

A set of channels perpendicular to the waterfront. In addition to the long-axis promenade along the water, every one to two hundred meters there is a path leading directly from the inland block to the water's edge. These paths are wide enough and visually transparent, allowing the water to be seen from the street. These channels pass through original walls, parking lots, and building gaps. The waterfront is therefore not an isolated line but part of the city. Avoid: creating only a single promenade along the shore, having the inland area to the water's edge blocked by continuous buildings and walls, making the perpendicular channels narrow and hidden, or having the end of the channels be a parking lot instead of the water.

一組垂直於水岸的通道。除了沿著水的長向步道之外,每隔一兩百米就有一條從內陸街廓直接通到水邊的路徑,寬度足夠、視線通透,站在街道上就看得到水;這些通道穿過原本的圍牆、停車場與建築空隙。水岸因此不是一條孤立的線,而是城市的一部分。避免:只做沿岸的單一條步道、讓內陸到水邊之間被連續的建築與圍牆擋住、把垂直通道做得窄而隱蔽、讓通道的盡頭是停車場而不是水。
