LEEAD Consulting entered the recent Taichung Gateway Park International Competition and while their proposal did not win, they have shared their design for our review. Images of their proposal, LiquidScapes, and a brief narrative are after the jump.
Due to their size, large urban parks are affected by the economic growth and decay of the surrounding society. Their ecologic succession reflects the socioeconomic condition of this society over a certain period of time. By being over-designed and over-controlled such parks are often the result of a utopian era; archetypes of the humanistic society of the perfect man. ‘Liquid Scapes’ evades this local reflective condition. Instead, it reflects a global path of a processing society, embracing its local endemic interferences.
