ASPECT Studios设计了悉尼新城区的公共空间。一系列相互连接的空间——充满艺术气息的巷道、一个公共广场、步行大道和各种公共领域元素；位于加迪加尔土地上，位于前娱乐中心所在地。达令广场现在是一个充满活力的连接城市的地方，嵌入到它的环境中。
ASPECT Studios has designed the public spaces of Sydney’s new city neighbourhood. A series of connected spaces - art filled laneways, a public square, pedestrian boulevards and assorted public domain elements in Sydney’s Darling Harbour; on Gadigal land, on the site of the former Entertainment Centre. Darling Square is now a vibrant connected city place embedded into its context.
“Embodies a new urban typology, fusing landscape, architecture, art, food and culture.” ASPECT Studios
一个迷人的新的世界级城市街区使悉尼的心脏焕发了活力。这里有4200名居民，2500名同事，60多家零售店和食品店，吸引着游客和当地人。达令广场坐落在原娱乐中心和停车场的旧址上，位于复兴的达令港生活区南部。随着新的位置感和位置感的建立，城市的联系被建立起来，重新组合和重新覆盖城市与先前的景观和地标。达令广场横跨Tumbalong大道，提供了达令港的目的地和重新连接到周边城市环境的中心站、Ultimo和唐人街。该区域包括一个强大的、以行人为中心的城市街道、巷道和20米宽的步行大道，将地平面一分为二，以公共广场为中心。
A captivating new world-class urban neighbourhood has rejuvenated the heart of Sydney. It is home to 4,200 residents, 2,500 co-workers, and more than 60 retail and food stores, attracting visitors and locals alike. Darling Square sits on the site of the former Entertainment Centre and car park, south of the revitalised Darling Harbour Live precinct. With a renewed sense of place and position, urban connections are forged, realigning and reconverging the city with its prior landscape and landmarks. Straddling Tumbalong Boulevard, Darling Square provides both destination and reconnection of Darling Harbour to its surrounding urban context of Central Station, Ultimo and Chinatown. The precinct includes a strong, pedestrian focused network of city streets, laneways and the 20-metre-wide pedestrian boulevard bisecting the ground plane, with the public square as the focal point.
娱乐中心和停车场的拆除为这座城市的一个重要部分创造了一个独特的机会。鉴于场地的潜力，Lendlease举办了一次有限的设计创意竞赛，以开发公共广场和相邻巷道设计的新概念。ASPECT Studios在2014年末赢得了竞争，随后被Lendlease聘用，负责开发达令广场公共领域的设计。ASPECT Studios的竞赛获胜设计响应了Lendlease的简报原则，三个主要的设计步骤改变了现有的总体规划。
The removal of the Entertainment Centre and Car Park created a unique opportunity for a large, undivided, central plot in a pivotal part of the city. Recognising the potential of the site, Lendlease ran a limited design ideas competition to develop new concepts for the design of the public square and adjacent laneway. ASPECT Studios won the competitive process in late 2014 and was subsequently engaged by Lendlease to develop the design for the public domain across Darling Square. ASPECT Studios’ competition winning design responded to the principles of Lendlease’s brief with three primary design moves that altered the existing master plan.
它们是：
1。为广场创建一个平台，由树冠边缘支撑
2。定义广场，穿过林荫大道、天篷和连接巷道空间
3。全面打造社区建筑。
These were:
1. Create a platform for the square, held by a canopy edge
2. Give definition to the square, through the boulevard, canopy and connecting laneway spaces
3. Create a community building in the round.
公共领域的设计响应与Denton Corker Marshall（DCM）和Hassell的更广泛的现场总体规划一致，包括三个新的住宅开发项目、两个新的学生宿舍楼和一个新的商业建筑，每一个都有活跃的、面向零售的地平面。达林广场的直接赞助是对城市空间需求和城市化带来的机遇的新认识的回应，这一地区就是一个例子。
The public domain design response was in alignment with the wider site master planning by Denton Corker Marshall (DCM) and Hassell, for three new residential developments, two new student accommodation buildings and a new commercial building, each with active, retail oriented, ground planes. Darling Square’s immediate patronage has been a response to a new appreciation for the need of urban spaces and the opportunities that come with urbanisation, exemplified in this precinct.
达令广场是一个日常生活与景观相互碰撞的、千变万化的城市空间，为所有人提供绿色、聚集和漫步的空间。上下文设计为所有年龄段的人提供了一个繁荣和吸引人的多用途城市空间，受到居民、工人和游客的珍爱。从格德乌斯镇的当地居民的角度来看，当地人设计了各种各样的格德乌斯（Fandeol）风格的树木，并将其与当地人设计的格德乌斯（Fandeol）风格的花园联系在一起，这些都是当地人设计的，象征着当地人在当地种植的麻将树，以及当地人在当地种植的麻将树一旦出现水。
Darling Square is quotidian, offering green, gathering, and strolling spaces for all, as an ever-changing civic space where daily life and spectacle collide. Contextual design offers a thriving and inviting multi-use urban space for all ages, treasured by residents, workers and visitors. Everything at Darling Square has been designed with intent: from the landscape of custom grown Eucalyptus trees and endemic gardens, to interpretations of the indigenous language of the Gadigal people (Eora nation), outdoor mah-jong tables that links Chinatown further east, and intricate fanned paving that symbolise the fish scales of the area’s oncepresent water.
受到悉尼绿叶成荫的郊区景观的启发，Kengo Kuma将自然的能量与作为标点的交流大楼融为一体。有机的螺旋形立面，包裹着20公里长的木材，在物质上和功能上都延伸到了公共领域。公共领域不费吹灰之力就与交易所融为一体，形成了辖区的中心，成为一个全面的社区建筑和一个目的地。达令广场的市民存在，提供了城市的定义和空间的变化，这是由潜在的地方系统造成的。空间密度的限制在设计响应中得到了充分的利用，这给了市民带来了慷慨。其结果是一个独特的目的地和全球蓝图，体现了再生公共领域的设计。
Inspired by the landscape of Sydney’s leafy green suburbs, Kengo Kuma blended the energy of nature with The Exchange building sitting as a punctuation point. The organic, spiralling facade, wrapped in 20 kilometres of timber extends into the public domain both materially and functionally. The public domain integrates effortlessly with The Exchange, forming the centrepiece for the precinct, as a community building in the round and a destination in its own right. Providing urban definition, with inflected spaces, the civic presence of Darling Square has resulted from the underlying systems of place. The constraints of spatial density have been leveraged in a design response that has delivered civic generosity. The result is a distinctive destination and global blueprint, exemplifying regenerative public realm design.
“通过深思熟虑的设计和建筑决策来促进联系是达令广场成功的关键，达令广场是一个将广大居民聚集在一起的地方。”Neil Arckless，Lendlease
“Fostering connection through considered design and architectural decisions has been key to the success of Darling Square – a place that brings people from the broader neighbourhood together.” Neil Arckless, Lendlease
“我可以想象人们懒洋洋地躺在林荫大道边上，睡在日本枫树的树荫下。你永远无法完全解释人们将如何占据和使用你设计的空间，但这就是它的魔力所在
“I can imagine people lounging on the edge of boulevard, sleeping under the shade of the Japanese Maple trees. You can never totally account for how people will take on and use the space you’ve designed, but that’s the magic of it.” Sacha Coles, ASPECT Studios

达令广场是一个新的城市街区，在它的圆形设计中，它反映了一个活动的蜂巢，从各个角度和方向吸引着来自公共领域的人们。ASPECT Studios提出的“全面建设”的主要提案，使这个地方重新焕发出一种令人欢迎的渗透性。内部和外部空间成为互惠的伙伴，相互流动，并成为社区的重要组成部分。主要公共空间包括：
Darling Square is a new city neighbourhood - a structure that in its circular design, reflects a hive for activity, inviting people in from the public domain from all angles and directions. ASPECT Studios’ key proposal for a ‘building in the round’ has renewed a welcoming permeability of place. The internal and external spaces become reciprocal partners, flowing into each other, and becoming critical building blocks for the community. Key public spaces include:
1作为设计竞赛的一部分，Lendlease要求受访者考虑如何将建筑的社区和公共用途结合起来。ASPECT Studios建议将建筑的形式改为圆形的“圆形建筑”。一种没有前门或后门的建筑，允许公共领域在下面自由地继续。
1. The Exchange - As part of the design competition, Lendlease asked respondents to consider how to integrate community and public uses for the building. ASPECT Studios’ proposed that the form of the building be altered to a circular ‘building in the round’. A building with no front or back door that allows the public domain to continue freely underneath.
2广场——一个铺砌的、灵活的开放空间，适合晚上和周末的临时市场和活动覆盖。为了创造一个真正的正方形，在所有的四个边上都提供了轮廓来定义空间和保持边缘。
2. The Square – a paved, flexible open space suitable for evening and weekend temporary market and event overlays. To create a true square, delineation was provided on all four sides to define space and hold the edges.
三。天篷边缘-方面工作室设计了一个新的天篷干预-一个阳台-占据西部边缘。天篷为广场创造了一个重要的视觉终点，为遮蔽、遮蔽和舒适提供了机会。天篷提供了一个从建筑到广场的视觉链接和连接，加强了两者之间的巨大模糊。
3. Canopy Edge - ASPECT Studios designed an intervention of a new canopy – a verandah – to occupy the western edge. The canopy creates a critical visual termination to the square, providing opportunity for shade, shelter and amenity. The canopy provides a visual link and connection from building to square, reinforcing the generous blurring between the two.
4. The Lawn – a community lawn – for picnics, eating lunch, walking the dog.
5. The Grove – provides critical shade in the summer months, whilst its deciduous canopy allows light to permeate to the ground through winter. Moveable furniture offers a space of inclusivity, a welcoming place for community to gather, connect and converse in the site’s sunniest spot.
6. Northern Steps – a north facing amphitheatre like space formed from the lifting of the square. The steps allow for flexible, informal seating, capturing the sun and views to Darling Harbour.
7. Laneways: Steam Mill Lane and Little Hay Street - ASPECT Studios collaborated with Lendlease and Leon Paroissien to develop a brief and lead the process for the public art/ lighting for the lanes. Artist Peta Kruger’s proposal was selected for Steam Mill Lane and artist Brendan Van Hek’s proposal selected for Little Hay Street - two bustling, distinct laneways that draw people to the heart of Darling Square. The laneways contain sculptural lighting elements that create a joyous public ceiling and contribute to the activation and human-scale of the place.
8. The Boulevard - an urban linear park with a rich palette of plants and generous seating and tables.
9. Darling Drive - a street characterised by diverse, lush planting which harvests and filters vast amounts of water runoff. This street provides a welcome splash of green in an urban environment.
10. Macarthur Park – a restful, meticulously detailed pocket park that provides a place of quiet in a bustling city.
Spatial
Knitting the site back into a long forgotten street fabric, Darling Square offers a sequence of revelations and enclosure enabling both identity and navigation. The Square provides respite with connection allowing for the incidental and purposeful, allowing for interconnection and interrelationships. It is a place for 1, 10, 100. The canopy of the building awning and trees and hanging green hold the edge yet smudges boundaries. The Square sits as a level up from promenade.

The design has achieved a symbiotic relationship between the human and natural environments – a thoughtful and generous green gesture in our city. Darling Square demonstrates value being placed in the public realm for all and investing accordingly.
