The paper first introduces the Taipei Eco-City Master Plan project in 1999, and continues the debates to link to a proposition of ecological urbanism, the third ecology and its applications to design. The contemporary discourse of urban sustainability has to move away from city and nature dualism to a symbiotic relationship by linking the forms and flows of urban, natural and industrial systems. Through a series of cases studies in design competitions and analyses in Taipei, Kaohsiung, Tainan, Guangzhou, Xiamen, Nanjing and Singapore, the paper comes with five design dimensions in ecological urbanism: form, materiality, flow, scale and time. The five design dimensions are organizational principles of urban spaces, which deal with urban form and its sensuous quality, surface and material of urban texture and landscape structure, ecological flows and its environmental performance, scales and system complexity, and finally temporal dimension, system threshold and sustainable progress. |
