Waterfront: Warehouse District - Platform Seating and Brick Facades

A district transformed from waterfront warehouses. A row of red brick warehouses faces the water, with their sawtooth roof skylights still intact, and the original large freight openings preserved and replaced with full glass panels; on the waterside, there is a concrete loading dock raised 1.2 meters above the ground, which now serves as a long waterfront seating area and steps, where people sit and eat. In front of the dock is a continuous promenade, with old tracks embedded in the ground. Simple steel frame canopies, clearly newly added, provide shade. Avoid: renovating the brick walls to look like new, closing off the original freight openings, demolishing the dock to create a flat ground, using faux-vintage materials for the new canopies.

一段由濱水倉庫改造成的街區。一排紅磚倉庫面向水,鋸齒屋頂的天窗還在,原本的大貨運開口保留下來換成整片玻璃;臨水那側是一道高出地面一米二的混凝土貨運月台,現在成了一條長長的面水座位與階梯,人坐在上面吃東西。月台前是連續的步道,地面嵌著舊軌道。遮陽用的是簡單的鋼構棚架,明顯是新加的。避免:把磚牆整修得像新蓋的、封閉原有的貨運開口、拆除月台做成平順地面、用仿舊材料做新增的棚架。
