上典景觀－吳靜宜

穿過時間的長河，發現老糖廠的故事。沿著湖岸的步道，交錯在眼前的歷史紋理是過去糖鐵支線走過的遺跡，腳踩踏的的每個穿梭的軌跡，都帶往我們走入歷史的故事，滿月的指環，穿過指環的光河是連結過去的糖鐵故事的主要鐵道痕跡，循著指環步道，我完整的環視整的帝國製糖廠，不只是她生命力的風華，我也看見完整的歷史脈絡。

藉由此專案開始操作了解，整理過去糖廠歷史脈絡，藉由脈絡軌跡發展延伸空間故事與機能，位於復興路橋延伸至湖中的生態方格平台，釋放更多空間使都市民眾與大自然接觸，隨著湖邊階梯綠廊，藉沉思水廊導引，進入帝國製糖廠的建築本體，規劃出諾大的廣場，提供給未來產業活動作為運用；由建築後方走，連結至彩糖平台，開放的入口廣場空間，引導學子前往帝國製糖廠最好的入口;由廣場往南方向，是四季變化的森林，地景山丘，不只提供給動植物最好的棲地，也是都市民眾呼吸森林與閱讀自然最好的大地，湖邊不規則的邊坡與水上高架木廊，銜接湖上的綠島，為水上動植物保留完整的棲地，也提供一個生態教育最好的平台，沿著湖岸的步道，交錯在眼前的歷史紋理是過去糖鐵支線走過的遺跡，隨著生態的蛇籠階梯，我們更接近湖水，穿過指環的光河是過去糖鐵的主要鐵路，循著指環步道，能完整的環視的帝國製糖廠，不只是她美麗的風貌，我們也看見完整的歷史脈絡。

基地資源與設計手法，先以會呼吸的湖面帶出都市永續的水文與生態，利用湧泉、礫石層地質，藉以水位變化設置大智排水系統，更引建築工地地下水補水，利用管溝系統，水生植物消長，永久池的形象，都市水文教育，生態島和水鳥棲息。
第二，產業文化的再生，糖業與鐵道文化延續，以建物平台與糖廠街廓的軸線配置，運用鐵軌與動線或視覺軸線連結，糖廠的意象與軌跡，源自過山洞的記憶。
第三，休閒的新亮點，商業據點環繞，交通便利的優點，商業帶及人本道路的串連。
第四．台中舊城東區的新門戶，台中省城小東門的意象，高架鐵道俯視的景觀，太平區及北屯區自過去的門戶轉換成新據點。

Traveling through the river of time, and discovering the history of an old sugar factory railway, we sense the historical atmosphere where the scenery of the circular trail surrounding the lake telling us the history of the factory. Experience not only the essence of life, but also indulge in the gravity of the past. 

This project reorganizing the history of the sugar factory develops the stories and functions of space conformable with the developments of the factory. People can be closer to nature on the lake observation deck extended from Fuxing Road Bridge to the central lake. Following the riverside pathway, we see the main building of the sugar factory where the wide square can accommodate a large crowd. To the south of the square, there are magnificent forest and hill landscape attractive to animals and people. The irregular riverside slopes and the elevated wood deck connected to the island on the central lake constitute the best platform for ecological education. What we see by walking on the shore trail are the traces of the historical sugar factory railway. The lake surrounded by the circular trail was the main railway in the past. The circular trail has a comprehensive view to the entire sugar factory, from which we discover the captivating silhouette and its complete history. 

As to environmental resources and design skills, the lake signifying the urban hydrological and ecological sustainability is constructed with the drainage system with the springs and the gravel layers. A large volume of groundwater therefore flows towards the construction site. The underground tunnel systems support the growth of aquatic plants and permanent pond that establish the education of urban hydrology, the ecological island, and the habitat for water birds. 
Secondly, the design is contributed to the cultural regeneration and continuation of the sugar industry, as well as the continuation of railway culture. The layout of buildings and streets of sugar factory, along with the connection between tracks and circulation are considered. The image and track of the sugar factory are derived from the memory of passing through a tunnel. 
Thirdly, the new attractions of recreational activities, the plentiful shops, convenient transportation systems, and the integration of business and humanity.
Lastly, the new location of the east district of Taichung, the conceptual image of East Gate of the provincial capital of Taichung, the view on the elevated railways, and the renovations of shops in Taiping District and Beitun District.
