哈塞尔：南京牛寿山文化公园的建立是为了集中展示和保护牛寿山的文化瑰宝。牛寿山是南京南部一处具有数百年历史的佛教圣地，其中包括历史悠久的寺院、宝塔和明代文物。哈塞尔被邀请为整个80公顷的旅游公园开发一个总体规划，然后继续设计中央公共领域的景观、广场和连接——为游客建立一个宁静的欢迎，并为该地区未来的发展提供敏感的基础。HASSELL校长安德鲁·威尔金森（Andrew Wilkinson）表示，南京牛寿山文化公园的设计力求在古代佛教传统和当代游客期望之间实现有尊严的平衡，在禅宗精神的指导下创造沉浸式景观体验。
HASSELL: The Nanjing Niushoushan Cultural Park has been established to collectively exhibit and preserve the cultural treasures of Niushou Mountain – a centuries-old sacred Buddhist site in southern Nanjing containing historic monasteries, pagodas, and relics of the Ming Dynasty. HASSELL was invited to develop a master plan for the entire 80-hectare tourist park, and later went on to design the landscape, plazas and connections of the central public domain – establishing a serene welcome for visitors, and a sensitive foundation for future development in the area. The design for Nanjing Niushoushan Cultural Park strives to achieve a dignified balance, between ancient Buddhist traditions and contemporary tourist expectations, in the creation of an immersive landscape experience that is guided by the spirit of Zen, says Andrew Wilkinson, Principal at HASSELL.

“We have researched and interpreted the site’s many special qualities, as well as Buddhist philosophies, to deliver a thoughtfully crafted parkland that will enhance a visitor’s appreciation for life at Niushou Mountain – its culture, historic attractions and breathtaking scenery.”

“The landscape elements and program promote low impact tourism and the value of a lifestyle that’s harmonious with nature,” he said.

进入公园，游客在一系列“禅宗”花园的视觉引导下，从一个空间流向另一个空间，以适应场地不断变化的地形。卷轴包含“明镜道”的水，随后打开，提供一个安静的时刻来欣赏达摩的“观墙”冥想。作为花园之旅的顶峰，卷轴沿着水面延伸至银龙湖广场。从这里，游客可以欣赏到湖光山色的全景，同时在宁静的环境中放松身心。旅游公园精心设计，以保持遗址的完整性，确保其能够按照佛教教义发挥作用。观景台和休息点被敏感地嵌入，绿色基础设施被整合，以最大限度地减少视觉和环境影响，并为后代保护景观。
Entering the parklands, visitors are visually guided through a series of ‘Zen’ gardens by an interpretive corten steel ‘scripture scroll’ that flows from one space to the next, adapting to the site’s changing landforms. The scroll contains the water of the ‘bright mirror path’ and later opens out to provide a quiet moment to appreciate Bodhidharma’s ‘wall gazing’ meditation. As the pinnacle of the garden tour, the scroll extends along the water to Yinlong Lake plaza. From this point, tourists can take in panoramic views of the lake and mountains, while relaxing in the tranquil environment. The tourist park is carefully structured to maintain the site’s integrity, ensuring its ability to function according to Buddhist doctrines. Viewing platforms and rest points are sensitively embedded, and green infrastructure is integrated to minimise visual and environmental impacts and protect the sights for future generations.

最终，牛寿山的所有亮点，包括新开发的福鼎宫和世界禅宗中心，将从公园入口花园沿着一系列连接良好的景观道路和小道展开，优先考虑行人和骑自行车的人。南京牛寿山文化公园的公共区域现已向游客开放。更广泛的公园开发计划于2015年底完成。
Ultimately all of Niushou Mountain’s highlights, including the newly developed Foding Palace and World Zen Centre, will unfold from the park’s entrance gardens along a series of well-connected, landscaped roads and trails that give preference to pedestrians and cyclists. The public domain of the Nanjing Niushoushan Cultural Park is now open to visitors. The wider parkland development is scheduled for completion in late 2015.
