温哥华海滨公园
Vancouver Waterfront Park
华盛顿州温哥华哥伦比亚河北岸是温哥华最新的海滨开发项目，将市中心带到了河边。PWL partnership与城市、Gramor和一个多学科团队合作，为这个29英亩/12公顷的项目现场创建了公共领域、公园和开放空间计划的详细设计以及滨水公园的详细设计。这个新的混合社区包括住宅区、零售区、商业区、市政区、公园区和环境恢复区。它为6000名新居民和5000名办公室工作人员提供了空间。
On the north bank of the Columbia River, Vancouver, WA, is Vancouver’s newest waterfront development that brings the downtown to the river’s edge. In partnership with the City, Gramor, and a multi-disciplinary team, PWL Partnership created the detailed design for the public realm, parks, and open space plan along with the detailed waterfront park design for this 29-acre/12-hectare project site. This new mixed-neighbourhood includes residential, retail, commercial, civic, park spaces, and environmental restoration areas—it makes space for 6,000 new residents and 5,000 office workers.
该公园是一个三公顷的城市改造和安置模式。该项目的目标是复兴旧工业区，将历史悠久的市中心和埃丝特·肖特公园与滨水区连接起来。75年来，一条工作河流切断了通道，使前滨受到污染。重新配置的现有铁路线基础设施打开了通往海滨的通道，通过连接现有公园设施扩大了开放空间。景观设计师与开发商和项目团队一起，设想了公园所在的12公顷总体规划，作为公园的主要顾问，他们能够将前滨的生态恢复与城市的社会和文化恢复结合起来：持续，从水边发展出各种各样的滨水体验。小路从海岸线到街道边缘蜿蜒曲折，模仿水流；沿河表达出现在铺路模式中，引导游客来到格兰特街脚下的悬臂式码头。公众艺术家团队和景观设计师之间的紧密合作过程产生了一种无法区分艺术和景观的设计。
The park is a three-hectare model for urban transformation and placemaking. The project goal—to revive the former industrial site—connects historic downtown and Esther Short Park with the waterfront. Over 75 years as a working river cut off access, leaving the foreshore contaminated. Reconfigured existing rail line infrastructure opened access to the waterfront, expanding open space by connecting to existing park amenities. The Landscape Architects, with the developer and project team, envisioned the 12-hectare master plan within which the park sits, and as prime consultants for the park, were able to weave the ecological restoration of the foreshore with the social and cultural restoration of the city: a continuous, varied waterfront experience developed from the water’s edge. Pathways wrap and weave from the shoreline to the street edge, mimicking the flow of water; riverine expressions emerge in paving patterns and lead visitors to the cantilevered pier at the foot of Grant Street. An intense collaborative process between the public artist’s team and landscape architects yields a design where one cannot tell the difference between art and landscape.
优先考虑当地和象征性材料是可持续的和概念性的。整个现场嵌入的当地玄武岩以多种形式代表了流域的广阔性和多样性，从粗凿到脆边。厚重的木板和磨坊手工艺品参考了历史上河流的使用情况，而硬景观广场图案则源自该地区原始居民的早期传统工艺。
Prioritizing local and symbolic materials was both sustainable and conceptual. Local basalt embedded throughout the site represents the vastness and variedness of the watershed in many forms, from rough-hewn to crisp edges. Heavy timber planks and mill artifacts reference historical working river uses, while hardscape plaza patterning emerges from early traditional craft of original inhabitants of the area.
格兰特街码头是公园一个值得注意的可持续发展的特色，它是一个斜拉结构，在水面上突出30多米。这一概念源于河流的持久精神和功能，它输送娱乐和工业船只。该模板设计有一个开放的中心，没有水内结构，以保持水生物种的不受阻碍迁移，并尽量减少对河床的破坏。游客们有机会感受到从未离开陆地就在水面上的兴奋。
A notably sustainable feature of the park is the Grant Street Pier, a cable-stayed structure projecting more than 30 metres over the water. The concept emerged from the enduring spirit and function of the river, conveying recreational and industrial vessels. The form was designed with an open centre—and without in-water structures—to maintain unhindered aquatic species migration and minimize disruption of the riverbed. Visitors are granted the chance to feel the exhilaration of being out on the water without ever having left land.
每一个细节都充满了哥伦比亚号人物的表情：与艺术家合作设计的水景，在其执行过程中令人印象深刻；寻路和解释元素赋予色彩和结构；灯柱和定制家具在形式上令人回味无穷，自然的游戏元素在整个公园形成了一个内聚系统。
Expressions of the Columbia’s character are imbued in each detail: the water feature, designed in collaboration with the artist, in its execution is striking; wayfinding and interpretive elements lend colour and structure; light posts and custom furniture are evocative in form, and natural play elements complete a cohesive system throughout the park.
该公园于2018年开放，比以往任何时候都更受欢迎。作为一个日常使用的公园和社区及全市集会的举办地，通过精心规划，各种需求和谐地融合在一起。海滨公园是一个真正适合人们居住的地方，它代表着一种文化向再生和环境敏感的未来的转变。
Opened in 2018, the park is more popular than ever expected. As a daily-use park and host to community and citywide gatherings, diverse needs are harmoniously integrated through careful programming. Truly a place for people, Waterfront Park represents a cultural shift toward a regenerative and context-sensitive future.
