Abstract | This design thesis is to provide an innovative design concept and approach to
revitalize the area of Porto Interior. In this design, a piece of industrial waterfront in
Porto Interior of Macao has been taken to revitalize the old town Macao and to
enhance the protection of the Historic Centre of Macao at the same time. This design
thesis is divided into 3 sections: 1) surveying, 2) planning and 3) landscape design
section to show the generation of the design process. Site selection, problem findings
and forecasting are supported by the surveying section. This information supports
the generation of landscape planning and design concept for the Porto Interior
waterfront.
The main design idea is to connect the world heritage of Macao to the water edge
and emphasize the linkage to other waterfronts in Macao in order to build up an
entire public open space system. The “Connection” idea is to re?link the world
heritage of Macao and Porto Interior waterfront in physical and mental way, as well
as tangible and intangible way. In the whole design process, nine heritage paths are
created in order to provide a physical linkage between the Historic Centre of Macao
to Porto Interior. Main landscape areas?the celebrate nodes are generated by the
intersection point between the heritage paths and the waterfront. Those nodes
contain with different functions, such as plaza, garden, infrastructure, leisure and
entertainment space and their design are inspired by the daily experience, story and
element of the Historic Centre of Macao. Those inspirations are captured or
interpreted into the nodes in mental and intangible way as well. This design idea and
approach will shorten the distance between the world heritage and Porto Interior. At
the same time, it provides a consistence experience to visitors and recalls visitors’
memory.
The new design for Porto Interior is able to improve the living and business
environment by providing higher quality public open space. Besides, vehicular
circulation is improved as the design thesis proposes the harbor tunnel to link up the
south and north of Macao and the light rail public transport system, moreover,
pedestrian circulation is enhanced since the share street concept is promoted and
the main carriageway between community and waterfront is narrowed, increasing
the accessibility and adaptability from the residential area to waterfront public open
space. “Connection” design vision is fully addressed in the waterfront design of Porto
Interior, Macao. The new design waterfront is able to be a unique public open space
to Macao, reflecting the spirit of the Historic Centre of Macao and blending with the
history of industrial waterfront simultaneously. |
