萬華人孔蓋|WANHUA Manhole Cover

水利處於109年啟動「臺北蓋水」計畫,為改善都市景觀,打造美學城市為本市施政要件,透過設置富有美感且兼具地方特色或風貌為圖案之雨水人孔蓋,初期以東區門戶計畫(南港區)、西區門戶計畫(大同區)、中正區及萬華區等4個區域為主題試辦,設計完成之8座彩繪人孔蓋,已於109年底陸續出現在人潮集中之商圈或景點等行人徒步區,為街道景觀增添亮點。

關於「臺北蓋水」
「臺北蓋水」是利用臺語“很美”的諧音,同時利用人孔“蓋”與北雨“水”兩字帶出計畫的主角與目標;希望藉由外觀大改造,翻轉大眾對於人孔蓋總是髒髒黑黑,甚至是都市地雷之負面印象。

Bottom View
「用人孔蓋看世界」,在視角上,行人若經過這些彩繪的人孔蓋,會有一種與圖彼此相互對望的趣味。以人孔蓋敘述此地風華,以最貼近土地的視角,念舊這座城市。

Taipei's Hydraulic Engineering Office (HEO) has kick-started the "Taipei Maintenance Hole Cover" project to improve the cityscape. The goal is to forge the urban aesthetic by redesigning the maintenance hole cover. In 2020, they initiated the project with Nan-Gang, Da-Tong, Jhong-Zheng, and Wan-Hua Districts, the four districts with rich historical cultures of Taipei. Planned to redesign eight different maintenance hole covers with localized cityscape and cultures, then have the covers placed on the pedestal among the commercial circle and landmark.

Regarding "Taipei Ka-Sui," referring to "Beautiful Taipei" originated from the Taiwanese language and can be directly translated to "water and the maintenance hole covers," which is the theme of the design. The goal is to redesign the maintenance hole cover, ditching the impressions that it is supposed to be always dirty.

View from Below
"Explore the world with the perspective of maintenance hole cover" the idea is to let the pedestrians interact with the design and look up to the city from the view of the land they live on. 
萬華擁有豐沛的歷史與人文,而談起萬華風華與歷史印象,就是「歷史感」三個字。艋舺曾經的人稠物穰景非常,榮華退卻,卻也使萬華成為了歷史與文化之鄉,城區與大開發保持適度距離,恰巧保存了歷史完整性。
因此人孔蓋設計,將重點確立於有形和無形文化資產兩個主軸。

Wan-Hua is a district of Taipei that has rich culture and history. An area called "Bang-Ka" used to be the heart of the location, but the popularity faded over time, leaving stories and traditional cultures to the locals. When the city moved on, it re-shaped the community representing Taipei's history and culture. Hence, the design core was set between the impact of the old and the inherent new culture.
轉動萬華
「站在不同角度,你看到什麼萬華風景?」
以有形歷史資產為發想,從街景、寺廟捕捉色彩印象,凝聚寺廟、煙火、燈等文化元素,再扣合四個具代表建築切出不同角度,創造「轉動萬華」為第一個主題。

Wan-Hua Carousel
"What do you see in Wan-Hua from a different perspective?"
Exploring the cityscape, The concept set the foundation of the different perspectives of four various local landmarks. It was inspired by the cultural assets, such as street view, referencing the temples' color scheme, merging temples, fireworks, lanterns, and more similar cultural elements, and creating the "Wan-Hua carousel" as the first theme of the project.

萬華日夜巡
以無形文化發想,精彩的廟會文化出發,除了一般日巡,青山宮夜巡更是著名特色。在諮詢過在地民俗專家之後,設計上決定以舞獅和艋舺青山宮最具特色的「引路童子」為要角,引導民眾進入艋舺文化的迷人世界。
透過強烈的色彩呈現於構圖中,讓圖像穿梭於白天與夜晚,日夜循環的日夜巡,象徵萬華常民文化的生生不息。

Wan-Hua Night watch
We explored intangible culture with the foundation of the Taiwanese temple fair. Qingshan Temple's night watch is a famous tradition among the locals. After consultation with the local traditions experts, we decided to use "Lion Dance" and "Guide (A child-like figure that guides people)" as the protagonist of the design, guiding the locals and tourists to discover the beauty of Bang-Ka's culture. 

The composition and bold colors present the impressions between day and night, and the image of the day and night watches symbolizes the eternity of the Wan-Hua cultures.
