“The proposal is
to infiltrate and to re-conceal community and bio-diversity from its historical
pattern. The Concept master plan finds fundamental inspiration in the strong
historical identity of the railway line, and the identity of historical
industrialisation background of Kaohsiung
city.
The development
is inspired by the culturally and biologically responsive between the new city urban fabric and
existing old town Yen Chan district. The guiding principle of the master plan
proposal is to inspire a meaningful sense of community and a shared commitment
for social and environmental responsibility.
The proposal
also introduces a series of urban agriculture farming and historically
integrated parks. The strategy is to infiltrate and to conceal the community
and biological diversity from the nearby Wan Shu Mountain. It also reflects the
historical transformation of Kaohsiung
city from industrial city to a contemporary cityscape.” Description of Maxthreads.
