美國洛杉磯河空間改造景觀設計 | Ballman Khapalova

洛杉磯河空間形態獨特，具有巨大的城市和建筑潛力。雖然它原本只是一條細流，但是現在供應著貫穿城市的工業和基礎管道設施，從洛杉磯市中心延伸至長灘。1939年，為了預防洪災，工兵部隊對河流進行疏導，使得周邊住宅區穩定發展。這條河并非完全自然或人造，它十分宏偉且被城市限定，與附近社區緊密相連，卻又排除在城市體驗之外。

^{The Los Angeles River is a peculiar and unique space with tremendous urban and architectural potential for Los Angeles. While nothing more than a trickle in its original and natural form, the river currently provides an industrial and infrastructural conduit that cuts through the city from downtown LA to Long Beach. In 1939 the river was channelized by the Corps of Engineers to prevent disastrous flooding, and therefore allow stable residential development. Neither entirely natural nor manmade, the river has a liminal and sublime existence that is intimately tied to the neighborhoods that adjoin it yet is largely excluded from the urban experience of the city.}

事務所將河流視為新的高線公園，設想在河道內建立綠色地帶或線性公園。與之相對的另一種方案是將河流本土化，突出地點的特殊性，進而尋求與周邊城市的和諧模式。該方案的關鍵在于不在河道內建設人造的自然環境，也不以創造旅游景點或發展機遇為最終目的。

^{Recent efforts to reimagine the river have revolved around the idea of creating a “green zone” or linear park space within the channel, and treating the river essentially as a new “High Line”. This proposal suggests an alternate solution, one that considers the river as entirely indigenous to Los Angeles and seeks to harmonize it as it is with the surrounding city fabric in a site-specific way. Most importantly, the proposal does not seek to create an artificially “natural” environment within the channel nor to create a tourist destination or development opportunity.}

新建筑和通道巧妙地涂上顏色，加強了天空反射光。該想法源于畫家Richard Diebenkorn的海洋公園系列作品，他在抽象成網格的街道和建筑元素中填涂顏色。河畔的新建筑將這些畫作具象化，實現形式、顏色和光線的三維組合，使得司機和行人均可感知，連接了城市、基礎設施和個人。

^{The new structures and new walkways are subtly colored to intensify and reflect the quality of the Los Angeles light against the sky. This strategy was derived from the Ocean Park paintings of Richard Diebenkorn, in which the artist painted the colors of the air within an abstract grid of streets and built elements. The new structures placed within the river become built manifestations of these paintings— three-dimensional compositions of form, color, and light, perceptible for the driver and the pedestrian, bridging the scale of the city, infrastructure, and the individual.}

從車行和鳥瞰視角看，整個河道仿佛一組線性雕塑，從人的視角看，它是連接城市社區的線性公共場所，為人們創造出新的活動空間。該河道是沐浴陽光的通道，也是悶熱環境中的風道。人們從日常生活轉換到極其平靜和宏偉的場所，身處并非完全自然的人工河道中，光、風、天空和水變得更加生動。為了使河邊空間更宜居，這種非自然的品質得以保留。

^{From the car and from the eye in the sky, the channel is a linear sculpture. For the human on the ground, it creates a space to do something new, part of a linear forum connecting neighborhoods across the city. The river is seen as a channel for receiving light and a conduit for wind in an otherwise hot and stifling environment. Within the space, you are transported from the everyday life of the city into a strangely calm, serene, and sublime place. The unnaturalness of the channel makes the experience of light, wind, sky, and water more vivid. In seeking to humanize and inhabit the space of the river, this quality is preserved.}

洛杉磯河流經市中心，使社區分隔，如同城市脊梁。通過“脊梁”，社區與河流相接，進而連接其他社區。河道的現有基礎設施得到重新利用，為鄰近社區提供服務、便民設施和公共空間。它們增加了集體活動和社交聚會的空間，服務于沒有此類空間的社區。大體包括以下功能：室內外泳池、公共浴室、基督教青年會、學校、醫生辦公室、圖書館、托兒所、游樂場、社區中心、非營利組織、博物館或畫廊、自行車服務站或商店、餐廳或咖啡廳、工作空間。

^{The LA River, which divides many neighborhoods through the center of the city, takes on the role of a civic spine. Through this spine, the neighborhoods are connected directly to the river, and through it are linked to each other. The existing infrastructure of the channel will be repurposed to provide services, amenities, and public spaces to the communities adjacent to it. Programmatically, as extensions of each neighborhood, these new structures provide a chance to add space for collective activities and functions that the areas might currently be without. These might include: Indoor & outdoor pools; bathhouse; YMCA; school; doctor’s offices; library; cinema; daycare; playgrounds; community center; non-profit organizations; museums/galleries; bike facilities/shops; restaurant/coffee shops; working spaces.}
