「埔頂」的歷史意象作為淡水居民「原風景」建構的基地；淡水在日據時期是所謂的「東方的威尼斯」，一直到近代都還是畫家入畫的重要景點。淡水地區早期的學校都分佈於市街外的埔頂與附近山崗地帶，學生經由馬偕街上下課穿過市街到達埔頂，而成為其成長經驗中重要的生活景觀經驗。 　　近年來台北都會區假日旅遊人潮的湧入，已造成市鎮整體文化地景的致命性頹敗，加速了市鎮生活之集體記憶的急遽退色。馬偕街與「埔頂」地區目前是淡水尚保留歷史風貌最為完整的區域，主要是因為這個地區大部分是公有地與學校用地以及山坡地。但是近年的開發壓力已逐漸改變部分的風貌，而一般的街道空間也因為疏於管理經營以至於快速地失去其風貌與歷史經驗。 　　本文所介紹之個案主要是「淡水鎮埔頂地區歷史步道規劃及馬偕街修景美化計劃」之後續執行計畫。希望藉由藝術介入空間的方式，探索公共空間營造的可能生產模式，以動態地聯結了地域中所浮現的各種機會，是淡水文化工作的一部份。

　　The "original landscape" for Tamsui dwellers has been inscribed in the historical image of "Pu-ding" area; Tamsui is called "Venice in the East" in Japanese-occupied Era, and it is still one of the most important spots in painters' eyes. In early days, schools in Tamsui was spread in Pu-ding area and nearby mountains away from the market streets. Following Mackay Street, students went to schools through the market streets, which has become significant living landscape in their growing-up experiences. 　　In the last decades, the streams of tourists from Taipei Metropolitan have caused fatal degeneration of cultural landscape in the whole town. It rapidly faded away the collective memories of everyday life in the city town. Mackay Street and Pu-ding are the last two areas which still keep the historical landscapes, since most of the zonings in these areas are public land, schools and hillsides. However, the landscape has been changed under the pressure of development, and the streets have lost historical ambiance for lack of management. 　　What is introduced in this article is the follow-up execution of "Historical pathway of Pu-ding area, and landscape mending of Mackay Streets projects in Tamsui". We attempt to discover potential patterns of building public space by means of art actions intervening in space. The articulation of actions emerged from local region dynamically is part of cultural empowerment in Tamsui.
