The Design

About Heito 1909 Urban Park

Ang mga gusali at lupa ay patuloy na inaalis at muling itinatayo sa panahong ito, bawat proyekto ay medyo "Tabula Rasa". Ang Transformation ng Heito 1909 ay isang bihirang proyekto ng adaptive na muling paggamit, sa halip na maging nahuhumaling sa mga iconic na gusali, ang lahat ng nasa parke ay idinisenyo sa labas bilang extension ng mga guho. Ang natatanging disenyo ay malikhaing isinasama ang mga guho at nasirang istruktura sa mga pasilidad sa lunsod para maranasan ng mga mamamayan. Kapansin-pansin, ang parke ay nagbibigay ng isang lugar para sa mga tao na makisali sa mga de-kalidad na natural na kapaligiran sa loob ng isang metropolitan na lungsod.

Production Technology: In the excavation we use "point cloud laser scanning" for precise mapping of historical remains, point cloud produce precise data for historical documentation and precise 3D drawing. For the historical remains we build pavilions in parametric design, and use (Rhino ,Grasshopper, sketchup ,Vectorwork ) for construction drawing, it helps with create gradual sequence. And Ecotect Environment analysis for urban planning.
Design Challenge: The ideal of historic preserved of an industrial park, is not popular for the public and public sector. Since it's old and ugly, lack of commercial value and highly maintained. So it took a while to come out with a scheme to be acceptable. Because what's left is all underground, it's difficult to anticipate every detail before excavation, so its constant revise the design solution, and experiment different approach of construction methods.
Research: During the excavation we discover the project had a rich history, but it was kept secret for a century, so a lot of research needed. The variety of historical research from US Nay WW2 record, and Japan colonist archives, industrial sugar factory documents. Just to find out the function of the historical remains, the stories had happened here. The story of this place gives us design a starting point, a way to juxtapose with the city that has become, and continue the story for the future.
Inspiration: During the excavation of the historical remains, stories of the place been reviled, we realize there is gaps in our history that’s being erased. Because historical building can’t be capitalized, so majority always been demolished. What was destroyed not just a building, but also multiple period of history, and that we were merely one tiny portion of this era that made this decision.
Project Duration: The project is based in Pingtung, Taiwan. And had two phases of design and construction, first started in June 2018 finished in 2020 January, excavation and landscape infrastructure. The second are the historical site reuse, from 2020 July finished in 2021 January.
Operation Flow: The project had an expected date to be finished, due to the uncertainty of what's underneath. It's difficult to finish in date with normal process. So it's Design and historical research while excavation, it's an overlap process constant modify the outcome.
