Danjiang Bridge Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. 2015/2024 Directorate General of Highways, M.O.T.C. Under Construction 920M Project Zaha Hadid Architects Danjiang Bridge Location Taipei, Taiwan, R.O.C. Date 2015/2024 Client Directorate General 01 of Highways, M.O.T.C. Status Under Construction Length 920m 02 03 Danjiang Bridge, Taipei, Taiwan Danjiang Bridge, Taipei, The Sinotech Engineering Consultants and Leonhardt, Andrä & Partner joint venture with Zaha Hadid Architects has won the international competition to design the new Danjiang Bridge in Taipei for the Directorate General of Highways, Taiwan, R.O.C. Located at the mouth of Tamsui River that flows through the capital Taipei, the Danjiang Bridge is integral to the infrastructure upgrading program of northern Taiwan. The bridge will increase connectivity between neighbourhoods and reduce through-traffic on roads within local town centres by linking the Highways 2 and 15, with the West Coast Expressway (Route 61) and Bali-Xindian Expressway (Route 64). By also reducing traffic from the congested Guandu Bridge upriver, the Danjiang Bridge will greatly improve the northern coast traffic system and enhance accessibility throughout the region with the rapidly expanding Port of Taipei/Taipei Harbour, the region’s busiest shipping port. The Danjiang Bridge will also allow for the extension of Danhai Light Rail Transportation (DHLRT) system over the Tamsui River to connect the town of Bali and the Port/ Harbour with Taipei’s public rail network. The Tamsui River estuary is a natural environment flanked by the urban centres of Tamsui to the East and Bali to the west. The estuary is rapidly growing in popularity with both residents and tourists as a recreational area where people gather each day to watch the sun setting over the Taiwan Strait. The cable-stayed bridge design minimises its visual impact by using only one concrete structural mast to support the 920m road, rail and pedestrian deck made from steel. 04 01 Render by MIR 03 Render by MIR 02 Render by MIR 04 Render by MIR Zaha Hadid Architects Architect Delivery Project Height of Supporting Lead structural Zaha Hadid Architects Director Mast engineering Cristiano Ceccato 200m consultancy and JV Design Partner Zaha Hadid Delivery Project Structure Leonhardt, Andrä und Patrik Schumacher Architect Reinforced concrete Partner (Leonhardt, Shao-wei Huang supporting mast with Competition Project Andrä und Partner, steel cables supporting Directors Delivery Project Team Beratende Ingenieure VBI steel road/rail/cycle/ Charles Walker Carlos Michel-Medina, AG , Germany) pedestrian deck Manuela Gatto Chien-shuo Pai, Julian Local engineering Lin, Elena Scripelliti Spans Competition Project consultants and JV 450m (to the West of the Architect Delivery Project BIM Partner supporting mast) Shao-wei Huang Support Sinotech Engineering Paul Ehret 175m (to the East of the Consultants (Sinotech Competition Design supporting mast) Engineering Consultants, Associate Ltd, Taiwan, R.O.C.)

The mast is designed and engineered to be as slender as possible and positioned to offer the best structural performance, avoid impeding the navigability of the river and also minimise any interference with the views of the sunset from popular viewing points along the river. This single- mast design also minimizes structural 05 elements in the riverbed in accordance with the increased protection programs of the estuary’s ecosystems.

  • Analysis of the Spatiotemporal Transformation of Fort San Domingo in Tamsui, Taiwan, from the Perspective of Cultural Imagination
    This paper is part of the Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Defence Sites: Heritage and Future (DSHF 2016) www.witconferences.com Analysis of the spatiotemporal transformation of Fort San Domingo in Tamsui, Taiwan, from the perspective of cultural imagination C.-Y. Chang Ministry of the Interior, Architecture and Building Institute, Taiwan, ROC Abstract The timeline of transformation of Fort San Domingo shows that between the 1630s and 1860s it was used as a military defense; from the 1860s–1970s as a foreign consulate and then from the 1980s–2010s as a historical site. We can see different and contradictory explanations of the cultural imagination of remembrance, exoticism and the symbolism of anti-imperialism from the historical context of this military building. Keywords: spatiotemporal transformation, Fort San Domingo, Tamsui, cultural imagination. 1 Introduction Fort San Domingo is rather young compared to forts built in Europe, yet it has a different historical meaning for this island located in Eastern Asia. Fort San Domingo (聖多明哥城) was one of the earliest Grade I heritage sites first appointed under the Cultural Heritage Preservation Act in 1982. It is the most well preserved fortress that can be dated back to the golden age of expeditions made by the Dutch East India Company during the colonial era. Moreover, Fort San Domingo is also the first heritage that has been transformed into a modern museum. Named the Tamsui Historical Museum of New Taipei City, the fort and its surrounding historical buildings were listed as a Potential World Heritage Site in Taiwan by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage.

    Analysis of the Influence of Joint Operation of Shihmen and Feitsui Reservoirs on Downstream Flood Peaks for Flood Control Chung-Min Tseng, Ming-Chang Shieh, Chao-Pin Yeh, Jun-Pin Chow, Wen Sen Lee Abstract The Tamsui River Basin covers the Greater Taipei Metropolitan Area, which is the most important economic center in Taiwan. Shihmen Reservoir and Feitsui Reservoir are located in the upper reaches of Tamsui River, play an important role for regulate the water use and flood control in the basin. During flood events, release of floodwaters from Shihmen and Feitsui reservoirs is necessary due to excessive inflows. Since Tamsui River is a tidal river, downstream tide changes need to be considered to avoid disastrous water levels caused by released discharges and simultaneous tidal water flows into the estuary. The joint operation of the two reservoirs has an absolute impact on the safety of the river downstream. In this study, we took real typhoon events as examples, based on actual rainfalls, reservoir release and tidal changes, used a 1-D numerical river flow model to simulate the unsteady river dynamics of Tamsui River. The goal was to understand the interaction between the two reservoirs’ joint operation and the tide. The impact on water levels and flows in Tamsui River is used do draw conclusions for future flood control operations. Keywords: Joint operation for flood control, tidal river, disastrous water levels, numerical river model 1 General Introduction 1.1 Basin Overview The Tamsui River Basin is located in the northern part of Taiwan, has a length of about 159 kilometers and a drainage area of about 2,726 square kilometers.

  • Restoration Outcomes of the Wugu Wetland in the Erchong Floodway

These conditions afford Taiwan a rich variety of wetland environments on coasts and around its lakes and rivers. On July 3, 2013, the legislature of the Taiwanese government passed the third reading of the Wetland Conservation Act, which took effect on February 2, 2015. The act lists a total of 42 wetlands of international and national prominence and 41 others of regional prominence (provisional designation) across Taiwan. In addition, before the implementation of the act, the Ministry of the Interior reduced the total area of designated wetlands nationwide from the 56,860 hectares established in 2011 to 47,627 hectares. This study investigated the Wugu Wetland in the Erchong Floodway in New Taipei City, a wetland located in a metropolitan area of northern Taiwan that had been partially damaged from misuse, and examined the recent restoration policies for the wetland implemented by the New Taipei City government. A SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis was subsequently conducted to propose feasible strategies for positive restoration outcomes of the wetland.

As a result, funeral facility locations have become inappropriate, excessive or insufficient in supply, etc. New Taipei City is located adjacent to Taipei City and Keelung City. The number of funeral facilities is as high as 264. How to plan funeral facilities appropriately and in cooperation with neighboring local governments has become an important issue for the New Taipei City government. This study reviews the theory of regional cooperation, and the main topic of the research is the public columbarium buildings and public cemeteries in New Taipei City. In addition, the service radius of funeral facilities in the three cities is studied to identify both service area and distribution, as while as using a time series model to estimate the supply and demand situation of public cemeteries and public columbarium buildings.
