Same Park, Dry Season and Wet Season

Two juxtaposed states of the same urban flood retention green space. The left side shows the dry season: the depression is dry, with gravel and drought-tolerant herbaceous plants at the bottom, where people can walk down and children run, clearly showing it as a sunken grassy plaza, with only the bottom collection ditch hinting at its function. The right side shows after a heavy rain: the same depression is filled with water, becoming a shallow pond, with the water surface reflecting the sky, half of the original steps submerged, and only the upper parts of flood-tolerant plants visible, while people watch the water from the path on the bank. The topography and facilities in both states are identical; the only difference is the water level. Avoid: making the two states look like different places, depicting the wet season as a disaster scene, placing water-sensitive facilities in the depression, changing the topography and vegetation.

同一處都市滯洪綠地的兩種狀態並置。左側是乾季:窪地是乾的,底部是礫石與耐旱的草本,人可以走下去,孩子在裡面跑,看得出這是一個下沉式的草坡廣場,只有底部的集水溝暗示它的功能。右側是暴雨後:同一個窪地蓄滿了水,變成一座淺池,水面反射天空,原本的階梯有一半沒入水中,耐淹的植栽只露出上半,人在岸邊的步道上看水。兩種狀態的地形與設施完全相同,差別只在水位。避免:讓兩種狀態看起來像不同的地方、把濕季畫成災害現場、在窪地放置怕水的設施、改變地形與植栽。
