One thing I need to say.
Keelung Maritime Plaza is designed by Spanish.(Vincente Guallart Architecture) The original design is much better than this one, but because the badget and political issue ....The final design become the one I posted.

Vincente Guallart Architecture design four different Plazas. The best one I think is this one:

you know i wasn't sure but i kinda suspected it was designed by a foreign architect. a taiwanese architect would not have made it nice and clean and cladded all in glass like this design but instead would've covered it with senseless tacky ornamentation, grey concrete or brown/pink tiles, and put a meaningless dome on top or blocky water towers. i would've been shocked if it was designed by a taiwanese architect, sorry to say. i just hope it will actually get built as is with no changes

More and more residential buildings use white or silver colour,but grey and brown are still Taiwanese favour.
Taiwanese Architect actually improve a lot, but not enough. I think it really doesn't matter which colour they choose, it reaaly depends on how they design it !
If I choose this colour how can design it ?

[duabi]

Hsinchu's HSR Station's design is not bad.

Taiwan is too hot in the summer
During day time, I don't think ppl will be near Keelung Maritime Plaza... I wish the design could include large trees.

i know. so granted that they can't design, at least they can pick more attractive colors other than just grey and brown because all of taiwan's cities are already grey and brown!!!

Isn't that the case for most east asian cities? Not just Taiwan, no? I for one would value uniformity above anything else. Last thing I want is a Mexican town in Taiwan. I do like glass facade tho!

基港迎直航 要蓋摩天大樓


基隆港務局昨天舉辦成立63周年局慶活動，官、產、學界都對即將到來的兩岸海運直航，抱持高度期待，希望基隆港在未來的貨運、客運都能再創高峰，帶動地方經濟發展。

港務局長蕭丁訓說，今年受到高油價、世界經濟不景氣影響，基隆港到10月底的貨櫃裝卸量為176萬teu（20呎標準貨櫃），比去年同期衰退4％，但客運人次卻較去年同期大幅成長四成。


江陳會簽署「海峽兩岸海運協議」，海峽兩岸不久就可以直接往來運輸。蕭丁訓分析，大陸上海以南到福建各港口，到基隆只有8到10小時的航程，晚上開航，隔天天亮貨物就送到對岸。對於商務、探親旅客而言，更是「睡一覺就到了」，商機無窮。


港務局迎接兩岸直航新時代的來臨，規畫基隆港西2到西4號碼頭為「兩岸客運專區」，要在西4號碼頭新建辦公大樓，完工之後，目前在東岸的基港大樓、港警局大樓辦公人員會全數進駐。


蕭丁訓說，東岸兩棟辦公大樓「淨空」後，從東2到東6號碼頭的腹地，將開發為「觀光遊輪及休閒遊樂商業城」，會蓋摩天大樓，「頂樓再蓋摩天輪也沒問題」，迎接兩岸龐大的客運旅客。


基隆市船務代理商業同業公會理事長楊吉利說，航運界引頸期盼的兩岸直航就要實現了，希望官方妥善規畫新的營運模式，產業界也要把握機會，再創佳績。

昨天的局慶大會中，港務局頒發獎牌給28家業績優良航商、10家港埠相關業者及港務局資深員工。

【2008/11/08 聯合報】@

Basically, from this news, the Keelung Government plan to build a resort which locate on opposite side of the train station that I posted in this thread. This resort will include skyscrapers.

hey i think they are done with the plaza renovation of the harbor. designed by vincente guillart who's in that photo below. it's nice but personally i think it looks kind of empty - needs more trees or grass. actually some palm trees would be great. nice for tourists to see when their cruise ships dock there.

It cost 14 billion NT dollars about 4000 million US dollars.
It will take a long time to finish this project because the old train station is going to be relocated in 100m away and the new building will be built.

Gate of Taipei is about 40 billion NT dollars (1.2 billion US dollars), but it is only for superstructure.


And for Keelung train station redevelopment.
http://twur.cpami.gov.tw/urquery/g-b-1-1.aspx?CASEID=MQ==

The investment money is 14.5 billion NT dollars.

Both of them are BOT projects, so the money I am talking is the money the private developers may invest. (Cost estimating)

基隆〉基隆港西岸將出現卅三新海港大樓成為新地標
2010-01-03 中國時報 【張謙俊／基隆報導】
　國際郵輪靠泊基隆港逐年增加，確立基隆港「內客外貨」轉型政策初步成效，港務局今年朝「郵輪母港」目標發展。為配合基隆火車站暨西二、三號碼頭都市更新案，港務局將在西岸興建卅三層的新海港大樓，成為基隆港的新地標。

　基隆港去年國際不定期郵輪卅八航次，再加上往返日本那霸、基隆的麗星郵輪六十二航次，國際郵輪靠泊一年達一百航次，居各港之冠，確立基隆港成為國際郵輪靠泊台灣最主要港口，除麗星外，已有航商有意以基隆港為郵輪母港，未來郵輪靠泊數勢必持續成長。

　基隆港務局為因應近年國際性經濟景氣低迷，港務局提出「內客外貨」、「客貨雙軸心」策略，西岸規畫為兩岸渡輪客運專區，朝交通轉運暨港埠商旅專區發展，東岸為國際郵輪基地，朝港埠商業區發展。

　港務局為配合內港區的轉型，提出東西岸辦公室合署辦公暨地標性建築案，這項計畫獲得經建會同意，新海港大樓一月起開始辦理興建工程專案管理技術（ＰＣＭ）招標，七月進行國際標設計評選，民國一百年底完成設計，一○一年至一○三年施工，新海港大樓將是卅三層樓高的地標性大樓，作為現代港都入口意象，也將與東岸現有民間興建卅三層麗榮皇冠大樓相互輝映。


Aother 33f tower add for Keelung and it will go for international competition.

[williamchung taiwan]

The tender will start in May, hope someone will take this tender.

Looks like Keelung has just as much trouble getting big ideas off the ground as its sister city. :( The project looks pretty cool though. I hope it succeeds.

Maybe our city councils can share experiences next time they meet. :P

基港32樓地標 新港務大樓105年完工
更新日期:2011/04/12 04:11



〔自由時報記者盧賢秀／基隆報導〕基隆港務局規劃西岸客運專區將擴大範圍，興建海運客貨中心及三十二樓的新港務大樓，港口各檢查單位（CIQS）集中合署辦公，預計民國一○五年完成，將成為基隆港新地標。

不過，基隆市政府也相中在西岸客運專區興建新市政大樓，港務局擔心市政大樓還沒規劃，拖三、五年，基隆港西岸客運專區會落空，因此，市港建設會議協議，新港務大樓與市政中心脫勾處理。

西岸客運專區擴大範圍

市港建設會議昨天上午在市府舉行，基隆港務局西岸客運專區港務大樓興建計畫已經修正通過，交通部即將報行政院核定，西岸客運專區將軍方營區也納入一併開發，開發基地將近五公頃，預算由三十四點八億元上修到六十二點八億元。 基隆港西岸客運專區將興建現代化的海運客貨中心，還有三十二樓的新港務大樓，未來港口關稅、檢役等相關檢查單位都集中合署辦公，發展基隆港為兩岸直航客貨專區。 新港務大樓就在西岸碼頭三角窗，十分明顯，將成為基隆港新地標。海運客貨中心由港務局籌資興選，可減少都更開發業者投資成本，降低工程複雜性，海運客貨中心也會串聯都市更新案的商場和轉運中心，提高都更的效益。

海運客貨中心預計在一○四年六月啟用，新港務大樓則在一○五年底完工。

市府的新市政大樓選址，市議會一直不滿意，市府有意在基隆港西岸客運專區內興建市政大樓，市府都市發展處長王翔鐘希望港務局協助，挪塊地興建新市政大樓，對市區發展也有幫助。

港務局長陳福男認為，西岸客運專區新港務大樓，經費及期程都已大致確定，新市政大樓的規劃與財務計畫都尚未明確，萬一拖三、五年，時空變遷，西岸客運專區恐落空，建議市府與陽明公司合作，洽商新市政大樓計畫。

基隆港務局興建32層港務大樓計畫再擴大，將納入軍方及部分都更土地，面積增加一倍以上，建蔽率降低30%，並開國際標，讓港務大樓及海運客貨中心成為基隆的新地標。

基隆港務局工務組昨天上午在基隆市、港建設會議中，簡報港務大樓新建計畫變更案，請基隆市政府能協助推動。工務組長魏震指出，新港務大樓預定地點在基隆港西4、5碼頭，原核定的面積是2萬1990平方公尺，樓地板面積4萬6179平方公尺，總經費34.81億元，預計2014年底可完工。

為了規畫出更磅礡、更具國家門戶形象的建築，並減少相鄰的基隆火車站都市更新計畫投資者投資成本，因此擴大計畫，不僅合併軍方及周邊的2.3公頃土地，並收回都更範圍內的0.4公頃土地，面積從原訂的2.2公頃變為4.9公頃，總經費也增加為62.88億元，預定2016年底完工。

魏震說明新建的港務大樓不僅容納現有港務大樓內的海關、移民、衛生、檢疫等單位，也要興建海運客貨中心及轉運站，並以人行電動步道與基隆火車站都市更新案結合，有利基隆火車站都更案招商。

基隆市政府都發處長王翔鐘表示，市政府一直尋找合適土地興建新市政大樓，基隆港務局目前規畫的地點土地面積那麼大，希望能提撥部分土地做為興建市政大樓之用。

基隆港務局長陳福男表示，全案已送行政院，如果再納入市政大樓的土地使用，將影響全案進程，市政大樓土地問題希望另外再討論。基隆市副市長柯水源也認同陳福男看法，希望港務大樓能早日實現，市政大樓土地另案再協調。

基港32樓地標 新港務大樓105年完工
更新日期:2011/04/12 04:11



〔自由時報記者盧賢秀／基隆報導〕基隆港務局規劃西岸客運專區將擴大範圍，興建海運客貨中心及三十二樓的新港務大樓，港口各檢查單位（CIQS）集中合署辦公，預計民國一○五年完成，將成為基隆港新地標。

不過，基隆市政府也相中在西岸客運專區興建新市政大樓，港務局擔心市政大樓還沒規劃，拖三、五年，基隆港西岸客運專區會落空，因此，市港建設會議協議，新港務大樓與市政中心脫勾處理。

西岸客運專區擴大範圍

市港建設會議昨天上午在市府舉行，基隆港務局西岸客運專區港務大樓興建計畫已經修正通過，交通部即將報行政院核定，西岸客運專區將軍方營區也納入一併開發，開發基地將近五公頃，預算由三十四點八億元上修到六十二點八億元。 基隆港西岸客運專區將興建現代化的海運客貨中心，還有三十二樓的新港務大樓，未來港口關稅、檢役等相關檢查單位都集中合署辦公，發展基隆港為兩岸直航客貨專區。 新港務大樓就在西岸碼頭三角窗，十分明顯，將成為基隆港新地標。海運客貨中心由港務局籌資興選，可減少都更開發業者投資成本，降低工程複雜性，海運客貨中心也會串聯都市更新案的商場和轉運中心，提高都更的效益。

海運客貨中心預計在一○四年六月啟用，新港務大樓則在一○五年底完工。

市府的新市政大樓選址，市議會一直不滿意，市府有意在基隆港西岸客運專區內興建市政大樓，市府都市發展處長王翔鐘希望港務局協助，挪塊地興建新市政大樓，對市區發展也有幫助。

港務局長陳福男認為，西岸客運專區新港務大樓，經費及期程都已大致確定，新市政大樓的規劃與財務計畫都尚未明確，萬一拖三、五年，時空變遷，西岸客運專區恐落空，建議市府與陽明公司合作，洽商新市政大樓計畫。

The site area I draw is my guessing. I only know government is going to build Keelung Harbor Bureau Building, Keelung City Government Building and Shipping centre.

The Keelung Harbor Bureau Building is going to be 32F and it is international competition project.

New office building project for Bureau of Keelung Port has been approved by Council of Economic development of Central government. So this development will go ahead and will get into propose process.

The propose process will be international design competition and probably will launch within 2 years.

[kalifese]

enough competitions already! just hire a big name foreign architecture firm and give them the project! competitions are such a waste of time - especially for a puny 32 fl office building!! it's not even the entire harbor project!! 2 years til the project even starts construction???? they could build a stupid 32 fl building in 2 years alone!! sheesh!!! :hell:

[ed21x]

the entire harbor has already started rennovation. the competition is for the one building at the very end because they want it to be iconic.

[williamchung taiwan]

The west pier 4 and west pier 5 redevelopment project is 4.9 hectares and it is in the front line of the port. It will contain not only that 32 storey office building, but also other public facilites include tourism center. More important thing is it will be integrated with Keelung Train Station Redevelopment project which next to it.The reseaon of the decision for making an interantional competition for this project is that they wish this building can carry more value on tourist industry.

So Keelung harbour has three international competition projects. The waterfont plaza is finished. And train station redevelopment is underway, it is pro-construction stage. Office building include tourism center will have international competition in May.

[kalifese]

so how many office buildings will the harbor project have? or will it just be that one 32 story tourism office building? what happened to the design in the rendering from last year that showed several tall high-rises? they're not going to construct those anymore?

[williamchung taiwan]

so how many office buildings will the harbor project have? or will it just be that one 32 story tourism office building? what happened to the design in the rendering from last year that showed several tall high-rises? they're not going to construct those anymore?

There will be two office buildings in entire west pier redevelopment. One is for bureau of Keelung Port (pier 4 and pier 5) and the other one is landmark building of Keelung train redevelopment (pier 2 and pier 3). Rest of towers in Keelung train redevelopment project are hotel and waterfront resident building.

Keelung train redevelopment project is similar to Gate of Taipei that government authority is responsible to train station and railway redevelopment and private company is responsible for commercial part (or said most superstructure). Last Keelung government attempt to make tender, but fail to attract any companies. I think government choose wrong time to do it. I believe it will be perfect time when Taiwan Railway authority finish moving the railway and construct their own temporary station.

By the way, pier 4 and pier 5 redevelopment project will be fund by government. The only problem will be government budget.

[williamchung taiwan]

Keelung Government will launch 2nd time BOT bid for Keelung Train Station Redevelopment in this May. The tender invitation period will end around October.

The international competition for a new service building in Taiwan’s major port city Keelung called for the design of a modern passenger and cargo terminal transfer station and maritime gateway art plaza. The objective is to improve the quality of the services for passengers and cargo, accelerate the development of surrounding areas, and ultimately promote local prosperity of the region. The new service building design is to be a new “Gateway to the Nation” – one that could become a form of Landmark Architecture of Keelung. The site of the new building should be integrated with the other commercial buildings in an effort to develop the entire area. The diverse programs cover an area of 82,615 m2 and include car and coach parking.

The two-stage competition was announced in early May 2012 and recieved thirty one submissions from twelve countries in the first stage. On July 19th the jury unveiled five nominated groups to continue to the second stage whose deadline is in September.

Follow us after the break for details on the five shortlisted firms.

The five firms shortlisted to continue to the second stage of the New Keelung Harbor Service Building International Competition are as follows:

•Neil M. Denari Architects, Inc. (USA)
•Platform for Architecture+Research (USA) and Series et Series (France)
•QUEBEC INC/ Alain Allard (Canada)
•Mecanoo Architecten (The Netherlands)
•Asymptote Architecture (USA) and 大元聯合建築師事務所 (R.O.C.)

The firms are responsible for proposing the planning and design layout, including diagrams, models and presentations, to the jury. The subsidiary of Keelung Harbor Company will provide the firms with tours and land and sea information of the site, including views and dimensions to facilitate the design phase of the competition. The jury includes Aaron Betsky and Michael Speaks, Taiwanese architects and professionals, including Tsai Yuan-Liang, Jin Guan-Yu, Su Yu-Jer, Wan Ming-Hen, and Wei Si-Jen. The competition will commence on September 11th, 2012 and will be judged according to innovation and creativity in addition to feasibility. The goal for the new Keelung Harbor Service Building is to serve as a landmark and gateway for the city, as well as a spark for the renewal of the surrounding area.

The proposal for the New Keelung (http://www.archdaily.com/tag/keelung/) Harbor terminal building by Synthesis Design + Architecture (SDA) (http://synthesis-dna.com/) focuses on the synthesis of three core concepts into a coherent, elegant, and iconic solution which signals the formation of a new identity for Keelung Harbor. Inspired by the geometric patterns of Taiwanese Hen Cages and the structural shells of luxury racing yachts, the building takes shape in a dynamic gradient form that transitions from exo-skin to exo-skeleton in response to programmatic content as well as performative requirements. More images and architects’ description after the break.

This new identity seeks to:
1. Provide a local landmark and portal for Keelung which acknowledges its context and legacy, while simultaneously projecting its potential future by: a. forming a portal condition with the opposing tower on the opposite side of the bay; b. referencing the historical legacy of Keelung’s Chinese name (the Hen Cage); c. capitalizing on the local industry of yacht manufacturing to explore the formal, material and structural language of the composite industry as both inspiration and resource.

2. Animate and connect the waterfront by: a. harnessing, stimulating, and distributing pedestrian activity, movement and flows by connecting to existing public circulation flows; b. sharing program with surrounding buildings; c. facilitating intuitive navigation through open space-planning; d. encouraging transitional programs and gradient transitions through soft boundaries that define field conditions rather than enclosed spaces.

3. Integrate visual, structural, and environmental performance as generative design concepts rather than additive design solutions by: a. optimizing building orientation and massing for passive environmental design and control; b. harvesting wind, rain, and sun through geometric configuration; c. plugging in to district heating/cooling and waste disposal systems; d. integrating structure and skin through geometric and material composition.

What appears to be formal expression, is actually “informed form” which responds to the integration of weather, urban context, program, circulation, and sustainability through integrated design responses that inform the building orientation, spatial layout, façade design, and choice of material and structural system. The building program is divided into three primary experience groups and cyclical sequences. These three groups share programmatic overlaps and transitions which allow exchange between groups.

Rather than consider the programmatic arrangement as the organization of platonic programmatic elements, we have considered the program as a self-organizing system of agents of programmatic pixels which aggregate based upon weighted connections to specified anchor programs. Starting with the typical bubble diagram to define relationships, the placement of specific anchor programs re-distributes the transitional programs into gradient fields of varying densities and distributions of pixels rather than hermetic zones with defined boundaries and thresholds.

I guess this design losses connection to peir 2 and peir 3 redevelopment and loses contain to what Keelung should need in this stage. Its complex mental appearance and colour it choose is not what Keelung should needss. Keelung is raining city that has most rain in Taiwan. More than half year is raining and 2/3 year is cloudy. Its need something make people feel position design.

[kalifese]

i like it, looks very cool. "Taiwanese Hen Cages" as inspiration tho? :rolleyes: hmm....interesting.

[williamchung taiwan]

The design has been disqualified in the 1st stage of design.

i really like second place asympote's design as well. i really love their work as it fits my design taste. the designs of their buildings are so clean, fluid and futuristic. i really wish they had won kaohsiung's harbor project as they had the best design.

[williamchung taiwan]

This is west peir 4 and west peir 5 redevelopment. West peir 2 and west peir 3 is Keelung train station redevelopment and had its design in 2008.

[williamchung taiwan]

This is west peir 4 and west peir 5 redevelopment. West peir 2 and west peir 3 is Keelung train station redevelopment and had its design in 2008.

However, I am really struggle to understand what exact stage of Peir 2 and Peir 3 redevelopment.

I would like to take my words back.

Keelung port set to construct new facilities
By Shelley Shan / Staff reporter

Taiwan International Ports Co (TIPC) has budgeted NT$4.2 billion (US$143.3 million) for the construction of a new harbor service building at Keelung port, which it hopes will triple the service capacity of the port to 1,500 passengers per hour.

Sheng Kuang-ching (沈光青), director of TIPC’s construction management and engineering division at Keelung Port, said the port company had signed a contract on Monday with an architecture firm that was chosen for the project, adding that the design of the building would be finalized within a year.

He said construction is scheduled to begin in October next year.

In all, 32 architecture firms from 12 countries competed for the project, Sheng said.

The designs were reviewed by eight jury members, including Cincinnati Art Museum director Aaron Betsky, National Cheng Kung University architecture professor Wang Ming-hung (王明衡), University of Kentucky College of Design dean Michael Speaks, TIPC chief engineer at Keelung Port Wei Jenn (魏震) and others.

Wei said that the design was chosen because the jury members felt that it could become a landmark in Keelung, despite its rather avant-garde style.

The architect also incorporated some important elements representing Keelung into his design, such as the light towers, the mountains and the sea.

Sheng said the design would allow the harbor service to function smoothly and serve as an entertainment facility for the residents of the city, which was another factor why it was favored by the review members.

The new building will be located between piers No. 4 and No. 6 on the west side of the Keelung Port and covers an area of about 5 hectares.

The passenger service center is scheduled to be completed in 2015. The office buildings that are to accommodate customs, immigration, quarantine and navigation safety officials should be finished in March in 2017.

Sheng said the nation planned to turn Keelung Port into an international cruise ship terminal because more cruise lines would choose to dock there.

However, the current facility can handle a maximum of 500 passengers per hour, although passengers numbers can hit 700 per hour during peak hours. The port’s service capacity could be expanded to 1,500 passengers once the new passenger service center is complete, he said.

Sheng said international visitors arriving through Keelung Port can travel to other parts of the nation because the Keelung Railway Station and Kuokuang Bus Stop is very close to the new harbor service building.
