QUZHOU PARK 258

258号公园位于Qu州西部的地理和经济中心,前身是1980年代的轻工业纺织厂。该设计旨在保护和改造旧工厂,并建立一个创新的,可持续的就业基地,营造花园式的工作和生活方式。    规划的目的是建立一个具有高效率联动的低碳生态园区,形成“一轴,一环,四组两点”,“一轴”为南北中轴线。“一环”是绿色景观环;“四个区域”是电子商务办公小组,文化创意和信息软件小组,综合服务小组和公园绿地小组;“两个点”是南北入口。   以新关与新未来为主题,再现棉花文化,增添城市新感觉,将历史与现代融为一体,打造zhou州智慧城市的中心。同时,以互联网创新和文化创意研发为核心,保留网站记忆,创建充满活力的开放城市公园和新的电子商务产业园。该设计充分完善了棉花的语言,将以前在棉花工厂中使用过的纺锤和线重新用作公园的装饰。   最初的建筑风格是包豪斯建筑;整体结构仍保持其完整性和外墙线条,比例仍然与独特的美学感觉和谐统一。本着替换和填充的设计理念,我们适度开放了一些大型封闭式工厂,并增加了新建筑物作为公共艺术空间,并逐步进行了从内到外的改造。我们无意定义明确的边界,而是尝试建立动态,交互式,灵活的框架,以使其自身不断适应城市的新需求。 More

Caspar van Wittelplantsoen

A park as a spatial anchor The Caspar Wittelplantsoen is a new park in the city of Amersfoort in the Netherlands. It connects the new buildings of the Soesterkwartier along the Puntenburgerlaan with the existing buildings and acts as a green meeting place for both old and new residents. The ambition is, on a relatively small area, to create an abundance of green. This is achieved by placing a large number of new trees and grassy plains for the establishment of the park.   Playing with heightsThe rolling grasslands give the park a natural, intimate atmosphere, allowing a height difference in the central area of the park and the surrounding streets. A clear path network provides both a good east-west connection from the station an... More
