The Liquid City
Street as the Urban Architecture
How can architecture link the past and future of the city?
As described by Aldo Rossi, the permanence of architecture allows it to create the collective memory of the environment. However, as places disappear, memories will also be forgotten in rapid urbanization. This thesis establishes a framework for the dialogue between urban history and contemporary life and serves as a public infrastructure that catalyzes future urban transformation.

Death and Life of the City Wall
Overlaying a New Pedestrian Level Above the City
The proposed urban infrastructure aims to stitch the old urban areas and historic sites with the adjacent Taipei Gateway Park by delivering friendly public flows, plazas, and ecological spaces supporting sustainable urban development with respect for history and people-oriented considerations.
Dynamic Promenade: Variable Public Spaces for Urban Events
The linear proposition is based on a highly versatile plan that provides variable capacities for hybrid programs while creating a new promenade for the two city gates. Each urban section also responds to the unique characteristics according to the adjacent context's demand or historical settings.
Creating New Urban Living Rooms for Taipei City
The historical park creates new types of shielded urban spaces, protected from rain and strong sunlight with comfortable connections to public transport. The collective of plazas and event spaces generously allows visitors to enjoy vigorous activities and offers chances to learn about the city's vanishing history.
