邓巴电池
The Dunbar Battery
兰金弗雷泽风景园林：邓巴是一座历史悠久的城镇，约有7000人，位于苏格兰东南海岸，距离爱丁堡30英里。邓巴炮台最初建于1781年，作为一个民防堡垒。在19世纪和20世纪，它容纳了一家传染病医院和一战期间的一家军事医院。虽然后来它变成了一个废墟，但由于它位于海港内的一个岛屿上，拥有丰富的历史和迷人的地形，该建筑仍然充满潜力。该结构属于B类，列为“区域重要性或超过地方重要性”。建造它的岛屿通过一座吊桥与大陆相连。电池可供公众24小时免费使用。最初的炮台是一个红砂岩结构，有16门炮的弹壳。面向城镇的入口由金色砂岩建造，入口呈拱形。在设计干预之前，电池很难进入，它缺乏任何关于其历史的信息或任何特殊的参观原因，除了它能为福斯湾提供的壮观景色。由于风化和侵蚀，石制品正在恶化，历史建筑的一些特征被植被覆盖。
rankinfraser landscape architecture: Dunbar is an historic town of approximately 7000 people situated on the south east coast of Scotland, 30 miles from Edinburgh. The Dunbar Battery was originally built as a civil defensive bastion in 1781. In the 19th and 20th C it housed a hospital for infectious diseases and a military hospital during World War I. Whilst latterly it became a ruin, the structure remained full of potential due to its stunning location on an island within the harbour, its rich history and intriguing topography. The structure is Category B Listed for ‘regional or more than local importance’. The island on which it is built is connected to the mainland by a lifting bridge. The battery is freely accessible to the public 24 hours. The original battery was a red-sandstone structure with embrasures for sixteen guns. The entrance facing the town is constructed from blonde sandstone with an arched entrance. Before the design interventions the battery was difficult to access, it lacked any information on its history or any particular reason to visit other than the spectacular views it affords to the Firth of Forth. The stonework was deteriorating due to weathering and erosion and several features of the historic structure were covered by vegetation.

Aim of the intervention and public vocation
2009年，邓巴海港信托公司委托兰金弗雷泽进行可行性研究，研究如何将该电池重新设想为一个吸引游客的公共空间和当地资源。简介集中于4个主题：改善所有年龄和能力的人进入电池和电池内的情况；石雕和其他历史元素的修复和保护；在海港内创建一个目的地，以促进旅游业和经济复兴，并为当地集会和音乐会创建一个多用途表演和圆形剧场空间。在成功获得垃圾填埋税资金后，信托基金随后委托rankinfraser将研究中的想法发展为新的公共空间设计。除了电池公共领域的设计之外，还为罗伯特·威尔逊（Robert Wilson）修建了一座纪念馆，罗伯特·威尔逊是该船“螺旋桨”的发明者，位于港口的其他地方。
In 2009 Dunbar Harbour Trust engaged rankinfraser to prepare a feasibility study looking at ways in which the battery could be re-imagined as a public space attraction for visitors and a local resource. The brief focused on 4 themes: improved access to and within the battery for all ages and abilities; the repair and conservation of the stonework and other historic elements; the creation of a destination within the harbour to promote tourism and economic regeneration and the creation of a multi-purpose performance and amphitheatre space for local gatherings and concerts. Following the successful award of funding from landfill tax monies the Trust then commissioned rankinfraser to develop the ideas in the study into a new public space design. The design of the battery public realm was complemented by the enhancement of the setting of a memorial to Robert Wilson, inventor of the ship’s ‘screw propeller’ elsewhere in the harbour.
Description
公共空间设计包括一条连接结构与港口的新的缓坡通道、炮台内的新通道、一个新的表演区和相关的木制圆形剧场、特别委托的当代艺术作品、一个海滨花园、拱形商店的重新开放、新家具、照明、，解释元素和图形。电池设计利用了网站的翻版，利用历史的层次来告知和指导各种当代干预措施的设计和分发。这些发明不是为了与历史建筑竞争，也不是为了压倒历史建筑。相反，设计作品旨在放大现有的空间特征，同时将空间转变为多功能公共场所。
The public space design consists of a new gently sloping access path linking the structure to the harbour, new pathways within the battery, a new performance area with associated timber amphitheatre, specially commissioned contemporary art work, a coastal garden, the re-opening of vaulted stores, new furniture, lighting, interpretive elements and graphics. The battery design exploits the site’s palimpsest, using the layers of history to inform and guide the design and distribution of various contemporary interventions. The inventions were not intended to compete with, or overpower, the historic structure. Rather, the design works seek to amplify the existing spatial character whilst transforming the space into a multi-functioning public arena.
考古调查过程先于每个阶段的设计工作，并为设计工作提供信息。由于在施工过程中发现了更多具有历史意义的元素，因此采取了响应和同情的方法来发现这些元素。最重要的新结构是圆形剧场，它与前医院建筑的墙壁形成的空隙融为一体，从而保留了医院的痕迹。
A process of archaeological investigation preceded and informed the design work at each stage. A responsive and sympathetic approach was taken to the discovery of further elements of historic interest as they were uncovered during the course of construction. The most significant new structure, the amphitheatre, is integrated into the void formed by the walls of the former hospital building so as to leave the trace of the hospital untouched.
在整个项目过程中，社区的参与是彻底和持续的，建立了一个专门的网站，收集意见并告知当地居民进展情况。该项目的一个关键组成部分是苏格兰艺术家唐纳德·厄克哈特（Donald Urquhart）委托制作了一幅特定场地的当代艺术品“海洋立方体”是一系列相互作用的不锈钢立方体，上面刻有“有孔虫”的图形，即微小的海洋生物。在开展艺术品项目的同时，还开展了一系列咨询活动和当地学校参与项目，最终举办了一场由小七学生制作的浮游生物丝网印刷品的公开展览，以及唐纳德·厄克哈特（Donald Urquhart）的新艺术作品。
Community engagement was thorough and continuous over the course of the project with a dedicated website set up to gather views and inform local residents of progress. A key component of the project was the commissioning of a site specific contemporary artwork by the Scottish artist Donald Urquhart. ‘Sea Cubes’, is a series of interactive stainless steel cubes engraved with drawings of ‘foraminifera’, microscopic sea organisms. Parallel to the artwork project, a series of consultation events and a local schools engagement project were undertaken culminating in an public exhibition of screen prints of plankton by Primary 7 pupils alongside new artworks by Donald Urquhart.
除了艺术家；设计团队包括土木、结构和电气工程师、照明设计师、历史研究人员以及解释和图形设计师。诠释元素尽可能融入家具和空间结构中，以免影响电池本身的空间质量。
In addition to the artist; the design team included civil, structural and electrical engineers, lighting designers, a historical researcher and interpretive and graphic designers. Interpretive elements were integrated as far as possible into the furniture and structure of the space so as not to detract from the spatial quality of the battery itself.
Assessment
自2017年春季完工以来，battery举办了各种音乐会和圣诞颂歌服务，已成为镇上备受追捧的婚礼场所。该空间继续由当地人维护，包括那些关心海岸花园的人。除了当地人越来越多地使用新电池外，新电池在吸引来自更远地方的游客到该镇方面发挥了重要作用。它补充了邓巴的其他旅游景点，包括约翰·穆尔出生地博物馆、邓巴城堡和港口。在项目完成之前，有一些证据表明电池封闭空间内发生了反社会行为。增加的脚步和空间变换以及对空间的局部感知显著降低了这一点。
Since its completion in spring 2017 the battery has hosted various musical concerts, a Christmas carol service and it has become a sought after wedding venue in the town. The space continues to be maintained by local people including those who care for the coastal garden. In addition to its increasing use by local people the new battery plays an important role in attracting visitors to the town from further afield. It complements other visitor attraction in Dunbar including the John Muir Birthplace museum, Dunbar Castle and the harbour. Prior to the completion of the project there was some evidence of anti-social behaviour occurring within the enclosed space of the battery. The increased footfall and transformation of the space and the perception of the space locally has reduced this significantly.
