Taichung Green Corridor

A revitalized former railway connects and sustains the city
옛 철길, 도시를 연결하고 지속가능하게 하다

Mecanoo | 메카누

The 1.7km long former railway line crossing downtown Taichung, Taiwan, was an important catalyst for the development of the old city. The railway’s historical value plays an important role in the revitalization of the urban realm on which it sits.

Sustainable life, sustainable history and culture
Although in the past the rail line functioned as a way of connecting people, the disused railway acts more as a barrier due to its challenging location on the dyke, which impedes circulation from one side of the tracks to the other. The design reuses the rail line to connect the different parts of the city in a sustainable way by creating a green corridor for biodiversity and including cycling and pedestrian lanes to better cater for the needs of the community. Within this linear site, the sustainable development covered a wide range of planning and design factors including urban regeneration, public participation, historic preservation, green and water resources, and circulation routes. Relying on Mecanoo’s extensive urban planning experience, the design shapes a people-oriented green corridor, complementing the Green River’s waterfront.

대만 타이중 시내를 가로지르는 1.7km 길이의 옛 철길이 구시가지의 발전에 중요한 촉매제가 되었다. 주변 지역을 새롭게 재생함에 있어서 철로의 역사적 가치는 핵심적인 역할을 했다.

지속 가능한 삶, 지속 가능한 역사와 문화
과거에는 철로가 사람과 사람을 연결하는 역할을 했지만, 접근이 어려운 제방 때문에라도 사용하지 않는 철로는 철길 양쪽 지역 간 연결을 방해하는 요인으로 작용한다. 이 프로젝트는 철로를 디자인 요소로 활용해 다양한 생태를 보유한 녹지 산책로를 조성하고 여기에 자전거길과 보행로를 더해 사회적 요구에 부합하고, 도시의 여러 장소들과 지속 가능한 방식으로 연결을 도모하는 것이다. 지속가능한 개발을 위해 선형으로 이루어진 부지를 대상으로 도심 재생, 공공의 참여, 역사적 보존, 녹지 및 수자원, 순환 경로 등 광범위한 영역에 걸친 계획과 디자인이 이루어져야 했다. 다수의 도시계획 프로젝트 경험을 보유한 건축사무소 메카누는 사람 중심의 녹지 산책로를 계획해 그린 리버 일대를 정비했다.

Inspiration
To maintain the area’s strong historical character and set a coherent, recognizable theme for the project, the new circulation system layout relies on the track pattern of the junction railway. Based on the visual language of the railway infrastructure, the routes branch out to integrate the existing and future planned functions.

A linear park in the city center
The green corridor is defined as a continuous public park in the center of the city, which will support the conservation and development of the area’s flora and fauna, while improving the connections for pedestrians and cyclists in Taichung center. The project integrates existing and newly added functions to the area into a coherent linear park.

영감
이 지역만의 역사성을 살리면서 일관성과 설득력 있는 주제를 설정하기 위해 인접 철도의 선로 패턴을 따라 새로운 동선 체계를 제안했다. 제안한 동선은 철도라는 인프라가 지닌 시각 어휘를 바탕으로 기존 기능과 앞으로 더해질 기능들을 통합하기 위해 확장되어갈 것이다.

도심 한가운데 자리한 선형 공원
녹지 산책로는 일종의 도심 속 공원으로, 지역의 동식물군을 발굴하고 보호하는 활동을 지원하고, 타이중 중심지를 지나는 보행자들과 자전거 이용자들을 더욱 원활하게 연결하는 역할을 한다. 이 프로젝트는 주변 지역의 기존 기능들과 새롭게 더해진 기능들을 모두 선형 공원으로 통합한다.

A destination for all
The green corridor will become a destination and invite users to explore and enjoy the green qualities of the park. Its urban location makes it an ideal place for leisure and recreational activities. The park is designed to intensify the use of the area for the local and wider Taichung community, while promoting a more coherent city infrastructure.

모두를 위한 장소
녹지 산책로는 이곳의 생태를 관찰하고 즐기고자 하는 이들을 두 팔 벌려 환영하는 곳이다. 도심에 위치해 레저와 레크리에이션 활동에도 손색이 없다. 이 공원은 지역민뿐 아니라 타이중 지역사회 전체가 더욱 활발하게 이용할 수 있도록 설계되었으며, 동시에 보다 일관성 있는 도시 인프라가 왜 필요한지를 잘 보여주고 있다.

Project: Taichung Green Corridor / Location: Taichung, Taiwan / Architect: Mecanoo / Collaborator: S.D Atelier, ARIA architect & planners / Client: Taichung city government, Taichung, Taiwan / Program: redevelopment of the 1.7 km existing dyke and former railway track, into a linear park with herb garden, street fitness, tribune, playground, viewpoint and waterpark / Design: 2017 / Construction: 2018~2020 / Photograph: ©Ethan Lee(courtesy of the architect)
