北角入口及袖珍公园
North Point Gateway and Pocket Park

Landworks工作室：位于马萨诸塞州剑桥的NorthPoint N地块的开放空间概念，一座20层的住宅楼，该项目旨在优化私人开发与周边公共领域连通性不足之间的协同效应。该项目在公共领域的两个主要新增项目——高架步行公园和楼梯以及半英亩中央绿地——实现了这一目标。高架停车场和楼梯用作通往北点地区的行人通道，并提供与MBTA列车线的连接。这条新的高架公园连接线由沿着停车场的郁郁葱葱的绿色墙壁和起伏的景观带组成，这些景观带从街道穿过公园，沿着步行楼梯向下移动。交叉路径以座位节点结束，楼梯扶手中的断裂允许进入种植的楼梯平台，以便沿途休息。楼梯上有一个坡道，供骑自行车的人上下推自行车，鼓励另一种交通方式。
Landworks Studio: The open space concept for NorthPoint Parcel N in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a 20 story residential tower, was to optimize synergies between private development and deficiencies in public realm connectivity surrounding the site.The project’s two major additions to the public realm – an elevated pedestrian park and stair and a half acre central green – accomplish that. The elevated park and stair serve as a pedestrian gateway to the NorthPoint area and provide connections to the MBTA train lines. This new elevated park connection is composed of lush green walls along the parking garage and an undulating landscape ribbon that move from the street through the park and down the pedestrian stair. Cross paths end in seating nodes and breaks in the stairs’ handrails allow access to planted landings for rest stops along the way. The stair incorporates a ramp for bicyclists to wheel their bikes up and down, encouraging another mode of transportation.

North Point Gateway and Pocket Park

当楼梯和功能区与下面的中央绿色相交时，地平面中的线性图案延伸并成为更大步行广场的一部分。这个广场是北角大厦的前门，也是公园未来建筑的前门。公共广场和中央绿地的特色是在开花的树冠下和三个缓坡的草丘上为行人或团体提供聚集空间。这些土堆以大型雕塑形式穿过公园，同时也提供了更多传统的草坪娱乐空间。波浪形的缎带在某些地方升起，让行人有时间坐在形状边缘，在其他地方向下倾斜，以鼓励人们进入地形本身。
As the stair and ribbon meet the central green below, linear patterns in the ground plane extend and become part of a larger pedestrian plaza. This plaza acts as a front door to the NorthPoint building as well as to future buildings that will frame the park. The public plaza and central green feature gathering spaces for pedestrians or groups under a flowering tree canopy and on three gently sloping grass mounds. The mounds move through the park as large sculptural forms, while also providing more traditional lawn recreation spaces. The undulating form of the ribbon rises in places to allow moments for pedestrians to sit along the form’s edge, and slopes down in other moments to encourage access to the landforms themselves.
