河森林岛
River Forest Island
SWA集团：位于城市中心的一个两英里长的河岛，经过雕刻、塑形和植树造林，为野生动物和人类提供了一个避难所。利用河流的季节性洪水情况，河流森林岛展示了这些力量如何成为长沙市中心一个大型新中央公园的积极形式创造者。几个世纪以来，湘江蜿蜒流过中国南部的风景区，留下沙洲，现在用混凝土墙排列，以控制季节性洪水。River Forest Island于2014年完工，它采用了不同的方向，尊重河流的原生水文，并将自然系统、当地文化和沙洲融入到一个成功的公园中。岛上没有混凝土墙，而是利用天然湿地梯田作为边缘条件。本地森林种植提供了一个蜿蜒的发现之旅，视野开阔，休闲空间丰富，通过体验进行教育。
SWA Group: A two-mile-long river island in the heart of a city is sculpted, shaped, and forested to provide a refuge for wildlife and people. Utilizing the seasonal flooding regime of the river, River Forest Island demonstrates how these forces can become a positive form-maker for a major new central park in the heart of Changsha. For centuries, the Xiang River has meandered its way through the landscape of Southern China, leaving behind sand bars now lined with concrete walls to control seasonal flooding. Completed in 2014, River Forest Island takes a different direction by honoring the native hydrology of the river and blends natural systems, local culture, and a sandbar into a successful park. Instead of concrete walls, the island utilizes natural wetland terraces as the edge condition. A native forest planting provides a meandering journey of discovery with commanding views and recreational spaces, educating through experience.
