    The Fengshan Train Station and Urban Regeneration project in Kaohsiung, Taiwan seeks to revitalize the surrounding area through the design of the new train station. The station design is inspired by the old streets and alleys of Fengshan and aims to connect the east and west sides of the city. It includes open lower floors and a green corridor bridge. The design also responds to historical waterways and aims to connect the station to bikeways, wetlands, and commercial areas. The station will include a semi-outdoor commercial area and movie theaters to bring back memories of the area's history and culture.

    Fengshan stations design is inspired by the ancient streets and


    alleyways of the old town. Its lower floors are acessible as open spaces
    that connect with the rest of the city, forming a continuous urban
    texture. A green corridor bridge tries to connect the east and west
    side. On the other hand, the distinctive green field and the gigantic
    arched corridor respond to the axis of ancient waterway on north side
    and south side. This creates an all-around “heart of four-axis” concept,
    allowing Fengshan Station to connect to essential urban features in
    four directions: Kaohsiung Bikeway in the west, Wetland Corridor in
    the east, Fengshan Cultural city in the south, and commercial blocks in
    the north. It will be the new vision of Fengshan town. As part of the
    Kaohsiung Railway Underground Project, Fengshan Station is
    positioned to the east of Kaohsiung Station and west of Houzhuang
    Station. Once completed, the railway underground project will bring
    new opportunities for urban developments between the North and
    South and evert the negative stereotypical images, as the back alley of
    the city, of railway stations. Moreover, the inhabitants of Fengshan city
    are enthusiastically looking forward to welcome the new station,
    which could bring a lot of new opportunities to this historic city both
    culturally and economically. Following the concept idea, inspired by
    urban streets and alleyways, Fengshan Station creates a semi-outdoor
    commercial space on the third floor, bringing back memories of the
    old Date Street, Furniture Street, Ju-Ren Alley, and old department
    stores such as Cao-Dian-Tou. This will bring vitality to the station and
    scale the commercial spaces back to a more traditional level. In
    addition, cinematic-culture commercial chain will also be introduced in
    Fengshan Station. It is inspired by legendary film director Hsiao-Hsien
    Hou, also a local resident of Fengshan. This would provide an
    entertainment and leisure space for local residents; besides, by
    incorporating movie theatres and experimental studios, Fengshan
    Station will be the pathfinder to help transition the commercial
    developments of the city and provide youngsters a start-up space as a
    foundation to develop their entrepreneur career. The old brick turret
    of Fengshan Ancient City is the main influence of the building style and
    materiality. It integrates with the Swallow Tail Roof Ridge of Fengyi
    Academy, in order to bring back the glorious memories of the
    Fengshan North Gate, which is also known as the “First Gate of the
    World.” As trains enter and leave the station, people can recall the
    good old times, while crowds are passing through the North Gate. As
    local residents stroll at the grass field around Cao Gongzhen, the
    green corridor of the railway, or the open spaces on each floor, one
    can almost recall the memories of walking on the walls of the Fortress
    City and overseeing the entire Fengshan sceneries.
