激活沉睡的河流:明尼阿波利斯城市滨水概念设计
In petition sponsored by The Minneapolis Park & Recreation Board and The Minneapolis Parks Foundation, Turenscape, teamed with six other firms, developed this proposal for miles of waterfront redevelopment along the Mississippi River. The team proposed using landscape as ecological infrastructure and an integrative tool to address ecological, social, economic, and cultural challenges, and creating a 21st-century vision (to be implemented over decades) for a new landscape and urban fabric for this now neglected site.
在一个由明尼阿波利斯市公园与市民休闲委员会与公园基金会赞助的比赛中,土人景观与其他6家事务所或公司一起为明市市内,。土人团队建议通过以景观的方式作为生态基础设施策略以及将景观作为整合的媒介,来应对该地区在发展工程中所要面临的来自生态,社会,经济以及文化方面的挑战,并且能够为这个目前被城市发展所遗忘与抛弃的场地勾勒出21世纪的景观与城市发展架构的愿景。
Since Minneapolis’s founding, the Mississippi River has been the engine of its development. The city and its riverfront have a rich industrial past, starting with lumber mills and then flour mills. Whereas the city’s lower riverfront can boast tremendous ess, the upper riverfront is waiting to be rediscovered and designed. Challenges facing this zone include a diminishing industrial base and large-scale infrastructure that divides the river from munities.
自明尼阿波利斯建市之日起,密西西比河就成为了这个城市发展的引擎。城市与河流都曾拥有辉煌的过往,从最开始的木料场到后来的磨坊----面粉加工. 然而,辉煌造就的同时,也导致了河流沿岸的不平衡发展,南段地区发展的相对较好,而北段河岸至今仍然在等待人们的关注。挑战主要来自于日渐衰败的工业区与一些把河流与社区分隔开的大型设施。
The design team identified four primary challenges:
四大挑战
Ecological renewal: what can be done on the upper riverfront and in munities to rebuild a healthy natural ecosystem and make best use of a park system for its productive potential? How can the site adapt to ing effects of global climate change? How can we discover a new aesthetic that reflects and foresees a lifestyle in which cultural and human processes adapt to and mediate the changing natural environment?
-生态更新:有什么方法可以使一个健康的自然生态系统在北段河岸以及周围的社区中得以重建与修复,并且利用这个生态公园系统来满足其潜在的生产性诉求?我们又如何使基地能够应对全球的气候变化问题?进而,我们该如何去寻找并定义一种新的美学,这种新的美学可以描绘出人们未来的生活方式:无论人们的生活和文化
