The winning plan in a competition for the redevelopment of the waterfront of the port city of Kaohsiung is built around the city’s DNA. The city’s avenues and the mountain park are extended onto the quays and piers. Meanwhile, the development of specific high- and low-density typologies creates two distinct urban environments.
The low-density waterfront location houses a conventional port and has plenty of room for the city to introduce large-scale water activities. The high-density area extends the Central Business District to the water edge forming a spectacular urban boulevard. Finally, the construction of a new bridge and iconic public building creates a natural heart for the area where the river meets the harbour and encourages all related activities and facilities.
