關渡社子島一帶

As global warming continue to worsen, sea level is predicted to rise approximately 1 meter, affecting 1/10 of the global population and about 600 million people' safety. The sea level, unfortunately, only needs to increase merely 50 cm to gain the force to demolish our current embankment system. Under this condition, we are forced to confront the catastrophe that used to happen only once every hundred years.

​

Our project began with researches among the inseparable relationship between Taipei's water and its residents. These data provide us the concept and foundation for the future city design. To indicate our aim, we located our site at Guandu and Shezi, two districts that have great possibility facing extreme floods in the future.

 

On the other hand, floods also allow Taipei to have the opportunity to welcome foreign economy. In an effort to take this transformation gradually step by step, constructions are going to be a series of procedures linked with the rising-sea-level stages, taking factors such as time, activities and financial issues into consideration. We hope to develop a location, having the capacity to act as a receptacle of water under a safe condition, while embracing the concept of co-watered urban system. Water, instead of being segregated, it becomes the crucial character, which activates and stimulates our future city.

海平面上升已成事實的這個年代，未來的多變氣候使地狹人稠的臺北有機會走向水上。水不應再消極的擋在看不見的堤外，打開堤防，使水成為活化陸地的元素，同時也提醒著人們該居安思危。我們首先從研究台北河流與人類拔河的關係開始，以此建構未來城市與水的基礎。接著將基地可能範圍鎖定在歷史上常氾濫的區域，也就是淡水隘口附近的關渡、社子島等地。

 

基地本身有幾項可能影響適居性的問題，包括：地下水位低、土壤鹽鹼造成的農田退縮等，但這幾項問題可以利用既有地理條件及水的流動、串聯和暫留達到高程度的改善。

 

基地與水共生的同時，有更多的角色可以選擇。而作為一個國際商務、台北市中心、人口稠密區的三角關係地帶，隨著船隻深入內陸，引入商機及旅客，配合周遭既有大眾運輸，貨物可快速的流通，我們因此有了一個能與水共生的新臺北門戶的願景。
