Little Island，紐約小島景觀建筑設計 | Heatherwick Studio

Little Island 小島是哈德遜河上新建的公園，它承載了該河上三個全新的表演場所。小島被設計為人與野生生物的世外桃源，并通過雕塑般的種植槽將這方綠洲托舉在水上。經由步道，只需片刻步程便能到達曼哈頓下西區。

Little Island is a new public park that shelters three new performance venues on the Hudson River. Designed as a haven for people and wildlife, it is a green oasis, held above the water by sculptural planters, and located just a short walk across a gangplank from Manhattan’s Lower West Side.

起初，Heatherwick Studio應慈善家Barry Diller與哈德遜河公園信托公司之邀，為曼哈頓西南邊的新碼頭設計一座公共場館。不過設計團隊并未囿于一座單純的裝飾性建筑，而是從中察覺到重新思考和定義碼頭的契機。設計的出發點并非結構，而是游客的體驗：凌于水上的興奮感，以及沉浸于綠意、，遠離塵囂的愜意——這一想法是受到中央公園的啟發而產生的，在那里人們會忘卻自己正身處美國人口最稠密的城市當中。

Heatherwick Studio was initially invited by philanthropist Barry Diller and the Hudson River Park Trust to create a pavilion for a new pier off the south-west of Manhattan. Instead of designing a decorative object to sit in the Hudson River Park, the design team saw an opportunity to rethink what a pier could be. The starting point was not the structure, but the experience for visitors: the excitement of being over the water, the feeling of leaving the city behind and being immersed in greenery – inspired by Central Park, where it’s possible to forget that you are in the midst of the most densely populated city in the United States.

為了駁船停靠，碼頭通常是平的。但它們是否必須如此呢？不同相較于曼哈頓平坦的街道，設計團隊希望為城市設計一個抬升的新地形，抬升突破當前的地平線從而創造多樣的空間。最初的方案是一片浮于水面的卷曲樹葉，其葉脈像骨骼一般在邊緣處抬升，形成避風港。將公園抬升于基柱座的想法來源于水中既有的木樁，它們是過去從曼哈頓海岸線延伸出來的眾多碼頭的遺留物。在裸露出來的尖頂之下，這些基柱已成為海洋生物的重要棲息地，亦是魚類的保護和繁殖地。

Piers were traditionally flat to allow boats to dock, but did they have to be? In contrast to the flat streets of Manhattan, the design team wanted to create a new topography for the city, which could rise up to shape a variety of spaces. The first iteration was a curled leaf form floating on the water, its veins rising like ribs at the edges to shelter the space from the wind. The idea of raising the park on its foundations came from the existing wooden piles in the water, remnants of the many piers that used to extend from the shoreline of Manhattan. Beneath the visible tips of the wood, the piles have become an important habitat for marine life and are a protected breeding ground for fish.

紐約充滿活力的表演空間

A DYNAMIC PERFORMANCE SPACE FOR NEW YORK

Heatherwick Studio將碼頭構想為一場完整的體驗：一個富有凝聚力的單體構筑物，而非無關元素的堆砌。新的基柱總是必要的無論什么形式的碼頭都需要新的基柱，但它們不再只是支撐甲板的柱子，而是成為甲板本身——延展成種植槽，并相互融為一體，共同構成了公園的表面。高低錯落的基柱樁構成了公園的輪廓：碼頭的一角被抬升，使陽光能照射到下方的海洋棲息地；邊緣部分垂下，塑造出山丘、觀景臺，以及可舉辦演出的天然露天劇場。如此，碼頭與它的支撐結構渾然一體。

Heatherwick Studio envisaged the pier as a complete experience; a single, cohesive object, rather than unrelated elements stuck together. New piles would be necessary to support any type of pier. Instead of sticks holding up a deck, the piles become the deck – they extend into planters that join together to create the park’s surface. The height of the piles varies to create the park’s contours: the corner of the pier is lifted to allow sunlight to reach the marine habitat, and the edge falls to define hills, viewpoints and to carve out a natural amphitheatre for performances. In this way, the pier and its supporting structure are one.

劇院需要后臺空間，但設計團隊不想因任何一個建筑打斷公園的連綿感。解決方案是通過結構來實現的:最高的樁基柱將荷載轉移到較低的基柱樁上，從而在甲板下創造一個空間。在這個地下空間中，基柱顯露，并在水面上創建了一個觀景臺，提供了觀賞碼頭與河流的獨特視角，同時將設施隱秘地的藏匿在甲板后。不論是綠植的呈現方式，還是劇場座位作為的視野，體驗的方方面面都被充分考慮。憑借其獨特的劇場與綠地組合，小島成為曼哈頓生活節奏中的一個停頓;在這里，紐約人和游客可以來到河中央，躺在樹下，觀看表演，欣賞日落，并感受到與水和自然的連結。

The theatre needed back-of-house spaces, but the design team didn’t want to interrupt the park with a building. The solution came through the structure: the tallest piles transfer the load to lower piles, allowing a void to be created beneath the deck. In this undercroft, the foundations are revealed and a viewing platform is created above the water, allowing a unique perspective of the pier and river, while concealing the facilities on a discreet deck. Every aspect of the experience has been considered, from the way the greenery unfolds on the approach to the view from each theatre seat. With its unique mix of venues and parkland, Little Island is a pause in the pace of Manhattan; a place where New Yorkers and visitors can cross the river to lie under a tree, watch a performance, catch the sunset and feel connected to the water and natural world.

那些種植槽，或者說“花盆”，盛滿了一百多種本地樹木和植物，能夠在紐約的氣候中茁壯生長，同時提高生物多樣性——小島的每個角落都代表著一種不同的微氣候。

The planters, or ‘pots’ are filled with more than a hundred different species of indigenous trees and plants, which encourage biodiversity and are able to thrive in New York’s climate – each corner of the island represents a different microclimate.

整個小島大約有400種不同的樹木、灌木、地被和多年生植物，并有至少有100種適合紐約氣候的不同喬木。島上的每個角落都代表著不同的微小氣候，這取決于地形、日照和風環境。

There are roughly 400 different species of trees, shrubs, grasses and perennials throughout Little Island and at least 100 different species of trees through the park that are suited to the New York climate. Each corner of the island represents a different microclimate depending on the topography, sun exposure and wind patterns.

小島上四季分明，春天開花喬木與灌木絢麗多彩，夏天的多年生植物郁郁蔥蔥，秋天的葉與草色調柔和的混合，冬天還能欣賞常綠樹木和灌木。

The four seasons are evident through flowering trees and shrubs in spring, evolving perennial displays in summer, foliage blended with softer hues of grasses in fall, and evergreens trees and shrubs in winter.

為了確定花槽的形式，設計團隊從大自然中汲取靈感，并借鑒了河流被凍住時在基柱周圍形成的馬賽克狀的冰塊。設計團隊將其重新詮釋為一個嵌合式的圖案，它雖然呈現為有機且無規則的形態，但實際上是由可以標準化制造的單元重復組合而成。

To determine the pots’ form, the design team looked to nature, and the mosaic of ice that forms around the wooden piles when the river freezes. The studio reinterpreted this in a tessellated pattern that appears organic, but uses repeated elements that could be standardised for fabrication.

在小島四周最為明顯的位置，這些花槽的角度和重復方式經過了尤其細致的考量。為了讓混凝土結構擁有光滑的觸感，Heatherwick Studio與當地一家制造商進行了密切合作。預制構件通過船只被運送至場地進行組裝，最大限度地減少了對城市的干擾。

Care was taken to vary the angle and repetition of pots at the perimeter, where they were most visible. To give the structural concrete a smooth, tactile quality, Heatherwick Studio worked closely with a local fabricator. The precast components were transported by boats and assembled on site, minimising disruption to the city.
