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 ?

those urban projects 're wonderful and i hope they will come true, coz keelung is the ugliest city of taiwan! every change is welcome in this part of the country!

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.

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。

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.
