01戶外體驗的再生
當戶外活動成為大眾生活重心，也順勢帶動了戶外公共空間的創新與投資
從2021年春季開始，在曼哈頓便會有一座漂浮的島型公園位在哈德遜河上。這座公園是由億萬富翁巴瑞?迪勒（Barry Diller）和黛安‧馮‧佛絲登寶格（Dian von Furstenberg）這對情侶所構想、由赫茲維克工作室（Heatherwick Studio）設計，這兩英畝大的「小島」（Little Island）拓寬了紐約原本狹小的綠地，同時也有草坪、花圃，而水池前的圓形劇場也能夠給藝術家、樂團、表演者提供一個舞台。
哥本哈根的居民則能享受新的水上活動場地。2020年4月，澳洲建築師Marshall Blecher和丹麥電影公司霍克斯特工作室（Studio Fokstrot）公開了「哥本哈根島群計畫」（Plans for Copenhagen Islands），這座「Parkipelago」（丹麥語，意指公園）由一串「浮島」共同組成，地點位在該市的港口邊，讓人可以在此放鬆、游泳、釣魚，甚至還可以觀賞星星。2018年的島嶼模型CPH-O1和這次的計畫很類似，因為該計畫非常成功，所以有了這次的新計畫。「哥本哈根島群」秉持永續精神，利用鋼材和回收的懸浮物建造而成，繫於海床之上，島上覆有蓊鬱的樹木和綠地，島群下方也有足夠的空間，讓海洋生物得以繁盛生長。
在維也納的閒置綠地上，Precht設計了一座類似迷宮的「距離公園」（Parc de la Distance），高聳的樹木圍籬隔開了公園裡的不同步道，讓遊客可以在保持社交距離的前提下悠遊綠地。這項設計成功克服了疫情期間因為關閉公園而產生的問題。
在英格蘭，奧雅納工程公司（Arup）為「無牆利物浦計畫」（Liverpool Without Walls）打造讓民眾得以保持社交距離的新戶外座位區。奧雅納和Meristem Design以及利物浦市議會合作，目標是打造出調整型的戶外傢俱，並將它們安置到城市的各個角落中。
值得關注的原因：
綠地是形塑未來城市規劃的重要元素，城市裡的戶外據點，對世界各地的城市居民來說，一直都很具吸引力，受到新冠肺炎（COVID-19）的疫情影響，民眾對新鮮空氣和開放空間的需求也更加強烈。城市規劃者要找出永久性的解決方案，藉此打造獲得重金支持的新型文化空間。
01 Outdoor redesigned
The prioritization of open-air experiences is driving innovation and investment in outdoor public spaces.
From spring 2021, Manhattan will have a new floating island park, located in the Hudson River. Designed by Heatherwick Studio and conceived by billionaire couple Barry Diller and Diane von Furstenberg, the two-acre Little Island will expand New York’s limited green space and will feature lawns, gardens, meadows and an amphitheater hosting artists, bands and entertainers as part of a program of waterfront performances.
Copenhagen residents will also have a new venue where they can hang out on the water. Plans for Copenhagen Islands were unveiled in April 2020 by Australian architect Marshall Blecher and Danish firm Studio Fokstrot. The “parkipelago” will comprise a cluster of floating “islands” in the city’s harbor where people can relax, swim, fish and even watch the stars. The move comes after the success of a similar island prototype, CPH-O1, in 2018. Made with sustainability in mind, Copenhagen Islands are being constructed from steel and recycled flotation materials, covered in lush trees and greenery and anchored to the sea floor. The underside of each island will provide space
where aquatic life can flourish.
Precht has designed Parc de la Distance, a maze-like park in a vacant green space in Vienna. Tall hedges separate the many routes in the park, allowing people to explore the green space while adhering to social distancing guidelines. The design aims to overcome the challenge posed when public parks closed their gates during the pandemic.
In England, engineering firm Arup is creating new seating areas for public spaces that allow for social distancing, as part of Liverpool Without Walls. This project, devised in collaboration with Meristem Design and Liverpool City Council, will see adaptable modular units, referred to as “hybrid street furniture,” installed around the city.
Why it’s interesting:
Green spaces are shaping up to be the future of city planning. Outdoor urban spots have long been attractive assets for city-dwellers around the world, and with the outbreak of COVID-19, the desire for fresh air and open space has intensified. Urban designers are pointing the way forward to more permanent solutions, creating new cultural spaces backed by hefty investments.
