Project 1 Mangrove

Riverwalk

The path circulation is designed to resemble diamond stripes that interweave with the environment, minimizing their impact and improving visitors’ experience of the natural surroundings. Due to the paths, part of the land and river is divided into small diamond shapes, each with unique features such as naturally grown vegetation and small ponds that enhance visitors’ experience of exploring nature. Paths above the river and bridges along the extensive network of main paths provide opportunities to stop and observe the landscape through the seasons. On each side of the river, there is an area where people can sit and gather. One area is an open space where visitors can enjoy the sunlight and outdoor activities, while the other is a landscape node with a roof that provides shelter from the elements. Visitors can enjoy a simple meal or coffee, or avoid inclement weather.

Construction Process

The construction process can be divided into two phases. Phase one involves planting mangroves and mangrove-associated plants on the site to restore the land’s biodiversity and purification function. Additionally, paths are constructed to provide activities such as park visits and jogging. In phase two, more native trees are added as habitats for wildlife, and ornamental perennial plants are included to attract more visitors. Landscape structures are built on the existing paths to provide additional functions such as shelter from the rain, picnic areas, and rest stops for visitors.
