韦斯利区
Wesley Quarter
将未充分利用的城市空间转变为充满活力的人流场所需要仔细的场所制作和设计技巧。作为澳大利亚珀斯市中心更大范围区域升级的一部分，联合教会的时尚中心愿景专注于零售和公共领域的更新，为这座城市的前“脚跟式”区域注入了急需的公共生活。公共领域的哈塞尔设计刻意简单和精致，其灵感来源于教堂的重要性——建筑、物质性和遗产意义。景观和公共领域通过响应现有水平、建立简单的行人连接以及协助讲述珀斯发展的故事来表达敬意。该设计还响应了该网站现有的社会和文化用途，提供了一个平台，鼓励广泛的公共用途，从“演讲者角”上经常进行的高度活跃和充满活力的活动，到城市工人午餐休息时更被动的使用，通过家人和朋友的大型聚会来庆祝一对新婚夫妇。
Turning under-utilised city spaces into vibrant people places requires careful place making and design skills. As part of a broader precinct upgrade to central Perth, Australia, the Uniting Church’s vision of a fashion centre focused on retail and public realm renewal has breathed much needed public life into a former ‘down at heel’ precinct of the city. The HASSELL design of the public realm is purposefully simple and refined, taking its cues from the importance of the Church – its architecture, materiality and heritage significance. The landscape and public realm pay homage by responding to existing levels, making simple pedestrian connections and assisting in telling the story of Perth’s development. The design also responds to existing social and cultural uses of the site, providing a platform that encourages a wide range of public use, from the often highly animated and spirited activity on the ‘Speaker’s Corner’ to the more passive use of a city worker on their lunchtime break, through to large gatherings of family and friends to celebrate a newly-wed couple.

在巷道内，沉思式的反思与零售产品的诱惑相结合，与遗址先前用途相关的关键词和历史文化参考通过提供文化解释线索的路面模式交织在一起。详细的定制铺路和细颗粒图案提供了一定程度的趣味性，以响应使用该空间的行人的“较慢步伐”。
Within the laneway, contemplative reflection plays with the enticement of retail offerings, key words relating to the former uses of the site and historical cultural references are interlaced through the pavement pattern providing cultural interpretive cues. Detailed bespoke paving and fine grain patterns provide a level of interest that responds to the ‘slower pace’ of pedestrians that use the space.
HASSELL has been able to successfully use a design language that is bespoke and detailed, providing a counter balance to the needs of a cultural icon and the requirements of ensuring retail and commercial success.
曾经未充分利用的现有巷道现在面向零售活动，提供了一个精细的步行网络，无缝连接到更广阔的城市结构中。建筑形式和公共领域的升级为该区创造了更具凝聚力的结构，并成功地为珀斯人民提供了更新的公共空间。
The once underutilised existing laneway now fronts retail activity, providing a fine grain pedestrian network that seamlessly connects into the broader city fabric. The upgrade to the built form and public domain has created a more cohesive structure for the precinct and has successfully provided a renewed public space for the people of Perth.
韦斯利区是一个复杂的城市反应，在一个高度受限和文化意义重大的遗址中使用优质材料。它尊重城市的历史和文化背景，同时为公众生活的艰难提供当代平衡，从而有助于提升城市形象。
The Wesley Quarter is a sophisticated urban response to city using quality materials in a highly constrained and culturally significant heritage site. It contributes to the image of the city by respecting its historical and cultural context whilst providing a contemporary counterbalance to the grittiness of public life.
