| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 建築學系碩博士班 === 100 === Bridges exist in any river-city. Bridge is, and was, not only the connection of two sides, but a public place in the city. Based on this issue, this thesis takes San-Xia Chang-fu Bridge of New Taipei City as the topic, and intends to reform this footbridge and its tectonics. I wish the new designed bridge constructed via beams can take a role of new city-plaza.
This thesis contains four parts as below:
1. Bridge and Beam: From bridge’s etymology, bridge typology, and cultural /social meanings to demonstrate the relationship between bridge and beam.
2. Bridge, City, and Place：Discussing the relationship between bridge and city, as well as bridges’ constructions and characters in historical context; taking the ideas of core and boundary in a place, via which to create atmosphere thus to review the problems of urban bridges in Taiwan.
3. Site：By tracing the original meaning of San-Xia, the development of city, and the present condition of Chang-fu Bridge to understand the character of two sides and the capacities of its environment.
4. Proposal：To take “forming the plaza via beams as the main axis to reach multi possibilities, and finally to obtain varied forms of beam-construction which can echo its environment. Vendor stools, watching decks, a central deck, seats and shelters, an abutment-reading corner, lighting, drainage, and handrails, are all deliberately considered in this project, from which to create its atmosphere and to make the bridge as a living core of San-Xia.
Tectonics and placeness are reciprocal elements of a good bridge where will turn into an energetic urban landmark.
