隨時代走過的西區風華,期待復興後的北門日常

三井廣場從日治時代開始，為經濟交通為發展的區域，交通的便利成為城市發展的架構，現今以人為主的生活空間意識逐漸崛起，自然、歷史、人，如何互相共融共存，發展出未來的歷史藍圖。

西區為台北發源的根，隨著忠孝橋拆除，地景的重現三井，廣場成為西區門戶計畫最後一塊地景拼圖。廣場內佇立著三井倉庫，結合周邊豐富的歷史資產，將北門、鐵道博物館等舊址串連在一起，特專區Ｃ1、Ｄ1也將進行開發，未來沿著北平西路將興建台北長廊，台北舊城區的「亭仔腳」屆時將與三井廣場雙排自然林蔭大道相呼應，市民不只是走在街道上而是走在歷史的軌跡中，從台北車站、行旅廣場、延伸至三井廣場，創造臺北市的綠色客廳，打造門戶新意象。

以人為主的友善都市空間設計

「城市」就是「人」ㄧ直以來，台灣以經濟發展為基礎，卻忘了把美好的生活留給自己，空間常讓給了車輛，城市的建造，是為了安頓人的生活，提升生活價值，未來都市的開放空間，將朝向以人為主的友善空間設計。

植栽設計

三井廣場位於台北核心地帶，東西向為綠色廊道中繼點，主軸線以未來的台北長廊、舊有三井倉庫騎樓、未來雙子星重慶北路端景為三大軸線，以自然高聳的雙排樹陣隱喻歷史紋理的展現，喬木的樹冠高度，創造天然的綠蔭遮棚，因應台灣酷熱的天氣，灌木的選擇，以禾本科為主，展現優雅中帶有粗放，粗放中帶點優雅的姿態，重現過去三井廣場位於台北城外新荒野意象。

Reviving the West District at the Historical North Gate

Mitsui Plaza has been the nexus of economy and traffic since the Japanese period. The convenience of traffic becomes the fabric of the city. As people become more aware of a walkable city, the historical coexistence of people and nature thus serves as the blueprint for future development. The West District is the origin of the Taipei City. With the demolition of the access ramp of Zhongxiao Bridge, the historical Norte Gate and Railway Museum are desegregated. The potential development of Special District E1 and E2 means the significance of linearity along Beiping West Road. The verandas of the old town Taipei will echo the tree-lined boulevard of the Mitsui Plaza. The pedestrians will find themselves walking on a historical trail. The new gateway threads together the Railway Station, Taipei Travel Plaza, and Mitsui Plaza, creating an outdoor living room for Taipei.

+Pedestrian-friendly Urban Space

City is made of people. Economic development has become the basis of Taiwan. The good life is often forgotten. Urban space conceded to the cars. The building of the city should be for the well-beings of people and the value of their life. The future open space is a pedestrian-friendly, walkable place.

Planted Form

Mitsui Plaza is located at the nuclear of the Taipei City. The central point of the east-west corridor. The three main axes of——the Taipei Corridor, the veranda of the Mitsui Warehouse, the Chungching North Road that terminate at the future Twin-tower——intersect on the plaza. The historical context is accentuated by the double-lined tree boulevard. The low-lying branches of the trees create a natural green canopy. In response to the humid hot weather of Taiwan, the selection of the bushes focuses on the Poaceae family, exhibiting the nuanced texture between elegance and wildness, the location of the plaza outside the old city walls.
