格蕾丝农场

项目位于康涅狄格州新迦南的一个80英亩的自然地块上，设计师被要求为格雷斯农场创建一个多功能建筑和景观设计，非营利性的格雷斯农场基金会正将其作为一个开放空间的礼物来保护，供人们体验自然、接触艺术、追求正义、促进社区和探索信仰。该建筑的设施将由基金会提供给格雷斯社区教会和其他选定的非营利和社区团体，并将成为公共设施和项目的场所，从咖啡和茶服务、讨论、亲密的音乐会和家庭友好的艺术课程和体育活动到策划的、多学科的文化项目和活动系列。

Creation of a multipurpose building and landscape design for Grace Farms, an 80-acre natural environment in New Canaan, Connecticut that the non-profit Grace Farms Foundation is preserving as a gift of open space for people to experience nature, encounter the arts, pursue justice, foster community and explore faith. The facilities of the building will be made available by the Foundation to Grace Community Church and other select nonprofit and community groups, and will be the site for pub- lic amenities and programs ranging from coffee and tea service, discussions, intimate concerts and family-friendly art classes and athletics to a curated, multi-disciplinary series of cultural projects and events.

景观设计

格雷斯农场的80英亩土地中，约有77英亩被永久保留为开放的草地、树林、湿地和池塘。OLIN的设计保留并加强了现有的本地动植物栖息地，同时整合了社区花园、田径场和SANAA事务所设计的操场和小径。为施工而清除的树木正在现场被碾压，以建造包括18英尺长的社区桌子格雷斯农场的家具。在该地块上已经钻了55口500英尺深的地热井用于供暖和制冷。70%的修剪区域将由Larry Weaner景观事务所恢复为自然草地。

Landscape

Approximately 77 of the 80 acres of Grace Farms are being retained in perpetuity as open meadows, woods, wetlands and ponds. OLIN’s design preserves and enhances the existing habitat for native flora and fauna while integrating a community garden, athletic fields and a SANAA-designed playground and trails. Trees that were cleared for construction are being milled on site to construct the furniture for Grace Farms, including 18- foot-long community tables. Fifty-five 500-foot-deep geothermal wells have been drilled on the property for heating and cooling. Seventy percent of mowed areas will be returned to natural meadows by Larry Weaner Landscape Associates.

设计思路

基金会要求建立一个通过开放空间、建筑、艺术和设计的文化兴趣和好奇心的场所，以便为人们提供一个在此：

体验自然的机会：设计师的目标是吸引人们进入，通过所有感官增强人们对自然的体验，让我们对自然敬畏

沟通交流的机会：设计师希望提供一个温馨的环境，通过被动和主动、社会和艺术活动来培养个人关系

追求正义的机会：设计师将提供资源和特色机会，通过帮助他人、显示仁慈和共同推进正义来改善生活

探索信仰的机会：设计师渴望创造一个反思、学习、讨论和崇拜的环境。

Architectural Directive

In its architectural brief, the Foundation asked for a venue of “cultural interest and curiosity via open space, architecture, art and design in order to provide people with an opportunity to:

Experience Nature: Our aim is to draw people into this beautiful landscape, to enhance one’s experience of nature through all five senses, and to allow nature itself to inspire in us an experience of awe.

Foster Community: We hope to provide a warm, welcoming environment that fosters personal relationships through passive and active, social and artistic activities.

Pursue Justice: We will offer resources and feature opportunities to improve lives by helping others, showing mercy and advancing justice together.

Explore Faith: We aspire to create an environment for reflection, study, discussion and worship.” 

建筑概念

SANAA的目标是使河流的建筑成为景观的一部分，而不引起人们的注意，甚至不觉得自己是一座建筑，希望在这块土地上的人能够通过河流创造的空间和体验，更多地享受到美丽的环境和四季的变化。

Architectural Concept

SANAA’s goal was to make the architecture of the River become part of the landscape without drawing attention to itself, or even feeling like a building, with the hope that those who are on the property will have a greater enjoyment of the beautiful environment and changing seasons through the spaces and experience created by the River.

设计亮点

依偎在格雷斯农场连绵起伏的风景中，河流从一个小山丘开始，然后沿着长长的缓坡（坡度变化为43英尺-9英寸），在一系列的弯道中流下，在旅途中形成池塘般的空间。从结构上看，由玻璃、混凝土、钢和木材组成的建筑实质上是一个单一的长屋顶，当它在景观中曲折地移动时，似乎漂浮在地表之上。屋顶下形成的人行道、庭院和玻璃包裹的体量都非常透明，邀请人们与广阔的自然环境接触。

Design Highlights

Nestled into the rolling landscape of Grace Farms, the River begins on a knoll and then flows down the long, gentle slope (a change in grade of 43 ft – 9 in) in a series of bends, forming pondlike spaces on its journey. Structurally, the building of glass, concrete, steel and wood is in essence a single long roof, which seems to float above the surface of the ground as it twists and turns across the landscape. The walkways, courtyards and glasswrapped volumes that form beneath the roof are remarkably transparent and invite people to engage with the expansive natural surroundings.
