The Habitation of Metallic Frontier
How can materials be articulated to form the memory of a city?
-
During the Japanese colonial period, Keelung City underwent three harbor construction projects and an unfinished fourth construction due to the outbreak of World War II. These projects involved dredging, land-filling, excavation, expanding, and adding industrial shipyards, as well as constructing piers, stacks, warehouses, and harbor buildings.
-
The coastal morphology of Keelung has been continuously shaped under the dominating forces of industry and the ruling class. In this state, the harbor is constantly controlled and forgotten.
-
The establishment of the new fishing association Port (the north) and cruise terminal (the south) reflect the relationship between the sea and the city. Using metal materials to establish the unusual scale for port facilities, open the view in parallel directions, also integrating the daily life on the coastline through a new roof structure.
