Maxthreads’ proposal is to infiltrate and to reconcile the community and biodiversity with its historical pattern. The concept master plan finds fundamental inspiration in the strong historical identity in the railway line and industrialization of Kaohsiung city.

The development is a response inspired by the cultural and biological relationships between the new city urban fabric and existing old town Yen Chan district. The guiding principle of the masterplan proposal is to inspire a meaningful sense of community and a shared commitment for social and environmental responsibility. The proposal introduces a series of urban agriculture farming phases and historically-integrated parks. The strategy infiltrates and reconciles the community and biological diversity with the nearby Wan Shu Mountains. It furthermore reflects the historical transformation of Kaohsiung city from an industrial city to a contemporary cityscape.
