Waterfront: Vertical Connections - From Street to Water's Edge

A passage perpendicular to the waterfront. The scene looks from the street inland towards the water: a 15-meter wide pedestrian path passes through a gap in the original wall, flanked by preserved warehouse gables, leading directly to the water and the skyline of the opposite bank, with no obstructions in between. The path's surface is continuous gravel and concrete, gently sloping downwards. There are street trees and seating on both sides. People can see the water at a glance from the street. Avoid: making the passage narrow and hidden, placing parking lots and facilities at the end to block the water, using curved paths that prevent seeing the end, adding gates and controls in the middle of the passage.

一條垂直於水岸的通道。畫面從內陸的街道口往水的方向看:一條寬十五米的步行路徑穿過原本的圍牆缺口,兩側是保留的倉庫山牆,盡頭直接就是水與對岸的天際線,中間沒有任何遮擋;路徑的地面是連續的碎石與混凝土,微微向下傾斜。兩側有行道樹與座位。人從街上一眼就看得到水。避免:讓通道窄而隱蔽、在盡頭設置停車場與設施擋住水、用彎曲的動線讓人看不到終點、在通道中段加設大門與管制。
