Alluvial Plain -

An alluvial plain is a relatively flat landform created by the deposition of sediment over a long

period of time by one or more rivers coming from highland regions, fromwhich alluvial soil forms.

A floodplain is created as part of the process, being thesmaller area over which the rivers flood

at a particular period of time, whereas the alluvial plain is the larger area representing the region

over which the flood plain shifted over geological time.

Design Statement - (Unbuilt Competition) 2015

The design for the New Taipei City Musuem uses the varying flows of people, art,information,

transportation networks, bike and traditional walking paths to represent the “flowing web” which

is a metaphor for the natural river flows acrossthe site. This constant ever changing flowing web

is used to form an Alluvialmuseum typology.
