Parking Life - 城市中停車空間之動態性

Abstract

This paper started the research from thinking about the Issue on Contemporary Urban Spaces and Vehicles. It first criticized that the city was divided into four parts, namely residential areas, leisure spaces, work areas and transportation, which was proposed by C.I.A.M in the Athens Charter wherein the role played by transportation in the city was to connect the residential areas, leisure areas and work areas. The polybasic hybridity of urbanization was presented in Asian cities. However, in such case, the function of transportation still made many irrelevant urban spaces overlap and cross each other. Therefore, this paper would like to conduct the discussion by starting from transportation & residential areas, transportation & working areas and transportation & leisure areas so as to study the relationship between different activities and transportations, even the parking space issue in the cities of Taiwan, and to explore the possibility of them being different in space and behavior. To achieve the above goals, this research was carried out by completing the following four steps: 1. Literature review: it learned the imaginations of present cities towards the occupied space of vehicles according to the opinion of modernism on the motor city, the post-modern urban theory and the hybridity of the modern vehicles and cities. 2. Case study: it looked for such transportation spaces that can be held by the current architectures, and studied that different space cases could be composed based on the changes of the timeline. 3. Parking lot exploration: after conducting data investigation, it chose ten parking lots in Taipei as the main study subjects. 4. Parking lot prototype construction: from the conclusions and opinions obtained from the above steps, it proposes that the parking lots in cities can be rebuilt by using different dimensions and variations. Based on the parking lot prototype constructed above, this research chose the old railway parking lot on Zhongxiao East Road as the design base. It created the design strategy of the Parking Life mainly according to the dynamic concept and vertical style of the corridor space in urban life, and it also adopted the four parking demands and different time periods as the design foundation, making the parking lots be three-dimensional. Then it created more parallel and vertical movement in the parking spaces in order to utilize the spaces more efficiently. This research created the parking systems in cities in a new way, which brought more possibilities of using the transportation space in cities flexibly. Moreover, it created more diverse spatial applications in the overcrowded cities.
