臺東太平洋海岸步道

台東被太平洋擁抱，擁有台灣最長176公里的海岸線；雖然如此接近海洋，由於海堤與海牆的興建阻隔了人與海的關係，居住鄰海岸線的居民因此總是背著太平洋生活。本計畫的目標是在修復人與海的關係，架構出最自然而永續的沿海空間，發展成未來東台灣海洋地區遊憩發展的模型；讓人容易地親近海洋，也讓海洋進入人的生活視野。

台東太平洋海岸步道系統選擇富岡的「富岡觀海步道」(1.6KM)及都蘭的「都蘭踏浪步道」(2.3KM)作為示範發展的第一步。

因為台灣有颱風的關係，原有的海堤上還有約2Ｍ高的海牆阻隔了人們觀海的視線，所以走在原有的海堤上，人們看不到海洋。「富岡觀海步道」是在原有的海堤上設置一片高於海牆的皮層，整合周邊綠地、海堤、溝渠等資源，結合防風林綠地與社區聚落，創造動線上的休憩停留點，使人們能走上這高架步道觀海與從事休閒遊憩，翻轉海堤既有之負面印象。

「都蘭灣踏浪步道」則利用都蘭灣數個海灣連結的特性，建構一條能在礫石灘上便於行走的步道，體驗東海岸特殊的地質與地形的特色。本設計也考量了海岸上生態的敏感性以及颱風的影響，以石籠作為步道的結構，使步道與環境融合。本段步道也串連了居民的生活空間與都蘭漁港，創造遊客與在地居民互動的機會。


With a 176 km long coastline, Taitung has the longest coastline among all counties in Taiwan. However, people living here were separated from the ocean by seawalls. The goal of this project is design and create both natural and sustainable coastal spaces to repair the relationship between people and the ocean. This demonstration project will become the future recreational development model for Taitung, aiming on bringing people to the ocean, and let ocean into life.

Fugang Levee Walk (1.6KM) and Dulan Ocean Walk (2.3KM) are the two demonstration sites chosen for the first stage construction of Taitung Pacific Trail system.

Due to the frequent Typhoons, there is a 2M tall seawall built on top of the original levee blocking the ocean view. The Fugang Levee Walk is constructed on top of the seawall, integrating the seawall with open spaces, windbreak forest, ditch along the walk, and the nearby communities. It provides resting points along an elevated circulation, reversing the negative impression of the tall seawall.

Considering the environmental sensitivity, the walkway of Dulan Ocean Walk is designed with Gabion structures, allowing penetration both horizontally and vertically. This geology walk connects the bays and several existing recreational sites, bringing unique east coast experience at the same time initiating the interaction between tourists and residents.
