19. Kaohsiung
Port
Sta>on
Formerly
called
“Dagouyi”
and
built
in
1908,
Kaohsiung
Port
Sta>on
was
the
first
train
sta>on
in
Kaohsiung
and
a
terminal
sta>on
of
Taiwan
north-­‐south
railway
line.
Built
in
1908,
the
freight
service
of
the
Sta>on
was
terminated
in
2008
that
put
an
end
to
the
train
service
of
Kaohsiung
Port
Sta>on.
It
occupies
15
hectares
of
land.
The
Kaohsiung
City
Government
has
registered
the
Sta>on
as
a
historical
building
and
included
it
in
the
urban
planning
as
the
founda>on
for
cultural
preserva>on
and
redevelopment
of
the
area.

20. The
City
Government
goals
-­‐ To
invite
crea>ve
design
ideas
aiming
at
the
preserva>on
and
revitaliza>on
of
railway
culture;
and
-­‐ Innova>ve
development
themes
that
could
be
used
as
a
guide
for
conceiving
space
management
strategies
for
redevelopment
of
the
area
in
the
future.
The
compe>>on
aimed
at
transforming
the
historic
rail
yard
and
port
sta>on
into
a
new
city
des>na>on,
crea>ng
a
progressive
model
for
local
urban
renewal.

22. Seamless
rela>onship
between
Architecture,
Landscape
&
Infrastructure.
The
park
corridor,
the
central
network
for
movement
in
the
project,
is
designed
to
encourage
communica>on
and
exchange,
and
thus
be
adaptable
over
>me
based
on
behavior
and
performance.

25. The
seamless
rela>onship
between
landscape,
architecture,
and
infrastructure
allows
for:
-­‐
An
increased
level
of
habita>on;
-­‐
Protected
circula>on;
and
-­‐
Incremental
response
to
a
variety
of
weather
condi>ons.
In
par>cular
the
park
corridor,
the
central
network
for
movement
in
the
project,
is
designed
to
encourage
communica>on
and
exchange,
and
thus
be
adaptable
over
>me
based
on
behavior
and
performance.

26. Phase
1:
AGER
proposed
3
strategies
to
establish
a
new
iden>ty
for
the
project.
They
include:
-­‐ Developing
a
transporta>on
and
industry
museum;
-­‐ Preserving
key
por>ons
of
the
railway
func>ons
for
public;
and
special
event
use;
and
-­‐ Transforming
other
por>ons
of
the
rail
yard
into
an
art
exhibit/market
and
rail-­‐scape
park
corridor.
The
corridor
would
be
animated
with
outdoor
sculpture,
restaurants
and
retail
in
specially
re-­‐designed
rail-­‐cars,
and
the
former
sugar
warehouses
renovated
into
crea>ve
industry
loTs.

27. Phase
2:
An
iconic
luxury
hotel
with
conference
center
and
execu>ve
apartments
to
be
designed
by
a
signature
architect
is
proposed
to
agract
addi>onal
visitors
to
the
rail-­‐scape
park
corridor
development
and
transporta>on
and
industry
museum.
This
iconic
building
would
aim
to
bring
addi>onal
recogni>on
to
the
project
and
with
it,
investors
to
phase
three
of
the
project.

28. Phase
3:
Ager
proposed
a
series
of
high-­‐density
mixed
use
residen>al
buildings
based
on
the
Southeast
Asian
shop-­‐house
typology
found
in
the
Hamasen
district
and
a
high
end
commercial
complex
with
public
corridors
and
civic
spaces
that
becomes
the
new
hub
to
help
bring
together
the
exis>ng
neighborhoods.

33. Complimen>ng
this
three
phased
approach,
AGER
studied:
-­‐ The
economic
trends
of
domes>c
consumer
market
growth;
-­‐ Office
and
retail
demand;
-­‐ Housing
demand;
and
-­‐ The
expected
growth
of
Taiwan’s
tourism
industry
In
order
to
propose
a
financially
feasible
design.
Integrated
in
the
study,
was
considera>on
of:
-­‐ The
Brownfield
soil
condi>ons;
-­‐ Building
re-­‐use;
and
-­‐ Disaster
resilience
In
order
to
help
form
a
sustainable
strategy
for
the
project
over
>me.

57. Nørrebro,
Copenhagen,
Denmark
The
Superkilen
project
is
part
of
a
partnership,
which
was
formed
in
2004
between
the
municipality
of
Copenhagen
and
Realdania.
The
aim
of
the
project
is
to
make
Nørrebro
the
centre
of
an
innova>ve
urban
space
of
interna>onal
caliber,
which
can
be
an
inspira>on
for
other
ci>es
and
districts.

62. The
fundamental
basis
for
the
choice
of
colors
for
materials
and
names
is
that
they
should
be
neutral
in
rela>on
to
culture,
na>onality
and
language,
but
over
>me
they
can
adopt
meaning
and
iden>ty
as
they
are
used
in
urban
spaces
and
populated
by
city
life.
The
different
surfaces
and
colors
of
the
area
are
integrated
in
a
way
where
they
together
and
alone
establish
a
seeng
for
the
diverse
objects,
which
are
chosen
by
the
ci>zens.
The
seeng
will
be
characteris>c
and
neutral,
significant
and
discrete
–
all
at
the
same
>me.

78. The
West
Kowloon
Cultural
District
is
the
largest
arts
and
cultural
project
in
Hong
Kong
to
date.
It
aims
to
be
developed
as
an
arts
and
cultural
hub
with
world-­‐class
facili>es.
Taking
up
40
hectares,
the
district
will
include
17
core
arts
and
cultural
venues
as
well
as
space
for
arts
educa>on.
This
includes
a
new
museum
of
visual
culture,
M+
Museum.
The
project
will
be
developed
in
2
phases
with
construc>on
scheduled
to
commence
in
2013.

79. In
1996,
the
Hong
Kong
Tourism
Board
(HKTB)
took
a
survey
of
tourists
visi>ng
Hong
Kong.
The
survey
suggested
that
many
of
the
tourists
thought
Hong
Kong
was
lacking
in
cultural
opportuni>es.
The
HKTB
made
a
sugges>on
to
Legco
in
1998,
proposing
that
new
venues
for
art
exhibi>ons
and
other
cultural
events
be
established.
The
West
Kowloon
Cultural
District
was
chosen,
hoping
to
develop
Hong
Kong
as
the
hub
for
Culture
and
Art
of
Asia.
“VISION”

80. 2006
-­‐
The
early
proposal
of
the
project
was
once
rejected
due
to
doubts
on
financing
models
and
lack
of
planning;
then
returned
to
track,
also
in
2006.
2007
-­‐
A
three-­‐month
public
consulta>on
were
being
carried
out
again
and
the
early
stages
were
completed
in
December
2007
to
decide
what
facili>es
to
offer
and
how
they
would
be
managed.
The
focus
of
discussion
turned
to
the
benefits
for
the
local
residents,
both
intellectually
and
economically.
