北投的名字

The Name of Beitou

台灣 / taiwan

陳映澄 / CHEN, Ying-Cheng

北投是個活在名字裡的城市,但名字卻只涵蓋人們對溫泉鄉的美好想像,另一半的城市在人們的記憶裡竟是一片空白。

在北投市場面臨新改建、磺港溪開蓋的當下,市場以及周邊磺港溪加蓋段上巨幅的公園用地應該被重新定義,將市場拉成線型置於整片公園之中,並透過建築手段使市場和公園週期性機能轉換得以達成。藉由「市場-公園」,建立河川-公園地景-社會活動之間的交集,與溫泉公園遙相輝映,為無以名狀的北投生活賦予她的名字。

 

Beitou is a city that lives in its name, but her name only covers people’s fantasies as a hot spring village. The other half of the city is blank in people’s memory.

Now that the market buildings are facing reconstruction and the river is going to be uncovered, this huge urban public space should be redefined. Corresponding to the hot spring park, “Market-Park” aim to rename the indescribable anonymity of Beitou.
