Botswana 创新中心 景观设计

Icon大楼（由SHoP建筑事务所设计）是位于哈博罗内的博茨瓦纳创新中心科技园的核心部分。该设施采用了最先进的绿色技术，将容纳一系列技术孵化、教育和科研活动，还将提供最先进的电信基础设施，包括大容量的国际连接、安全的电力和专业的商业服务。

The Icon Building (designed by SHoP Architects) forms the centre piece of the Botswana Innovation Hub Science and Technology Park in Gaborone. The facility, which employs the most advanced green technologies available, will house a range of initiatives in technology incubation, education, and scientific research.It will also provide state-of the-art telecommunications infrastructure, with high capacity international connectivity, secured power and professional business services.

GREENinc为Icon大楼的开发和建设提供了全方位的景观设计。这包括景观概念化、设计、详细图纸和合同监督。景观设计受到博茨瓦纳半干旱的卡拉哈里沙漠和奥卡万戈三角洲景观的影响，旨在使其看起来自然，并能自我维持。种植设计包括当地的本土物种，特别关注可以在广阔的绿色屋顶上生长的多肉植物，因为大部分景观设计都位于土地上，无论是在广阔的地下室还是在建筑的屋顶上。

GREENinc provided a full scope of landscape architectural services in the development and construction of the Icon Building. This included landscape conceptualisation, design, detail drawings and contract supervision. The landscape design is influenced by the semi-arid Kalahari Desert and Okavango Delta landscapes of Botswana and is intended to look natural and be self-sustaining.The planting design comprises of locally indigenous species, with a special focus on succulent plants that can grow on the extensive green roofs as much of the landscape design is located on slab – either over an extensive basementor on the roof of the building.

从高层可以看到两个宽敞的内部庭院，为建筑的底层提供了休息空间。高架的木质花架环绕着庭院，形成了较小的、私密的聚会空间。郁郁葱葱的植被为庭院带来了宁静的感觉，并为周边的微气候降温。南边的庭院包括一个露天剧场，用于举办户外活动。

Two spacious internal courtyards, which are visible from the upper floors, provide break-out spaces on the ground floor of the building. Raised timber-clad planters surround the courtyard and form smaller, intimate, gathering spaces. Lush vegetation brings a sense of calm to the courtyards and cools the immediate micro-climate. The southern courtyard includes an amphitheatre for outdoor events.

由于哈博罗内的年平均降雨量只有457毫米左右，因此收集水是非常必要的。大型的衰减池和大面积的绿化屋顶可以截留雨水径流，并为地下水源补给。这些池塘不仅使景观更具抗旱能力，也为项目增添了特色。从建筑中收集的水被用来灌溉密集种植的庭院，而整个场地和屋顶景观的植物选择确保了无需灌溉。

Because the average annual rainfall in Gaborone is only around 457mm, water capturing was essential – the large attenuation ponds and extensive green roof detains stormwater run-off and recharges the subterranean water sources. These ponds do not only make the landscape more resilient against drought, but also add character to the project. Water harvested from the building is used to irrigate the intensively planted courtyards while the plant selection of the site-wide and roof landscapes ensures that no irrigation is necessary.
