55号码头小岛 概念设计

在一次设计竞赛之后，哈德逊河公园信托基金和商人及慈善家巴里迪勒指定Heatherwick工作室在曼哈顿西南河畔建造一个新的码头，码头需要同时成为一个公共公园和世界级的户外表演空间。

Following a design competition the Hudson River Park Trust and businessman and philanthropist Barry Diller appointed Heatherwick Studio to build a new pier on Manhattan’s southwest riverside. The pier needed to be both a public park and a world class outdoor performance space.

工作室对数百根伸出哈德逊河的老木桩很感兴趣，这些木桩是以前存在的老码头的结构，工作室想知道新码头的身份是否可以从关注它的结构性桥墩中产生。这个想法演化为将需要的新混凝土桩，并将它们延续出水面，向天空延伸，升起绿色景观的部分。这些独立的桩子在相接时融合在一起，形成了公园的地形。

Interested in the hundreds of old wooden piles which stuck out of the Hudson River as the structural remains of the old piers that had previously existed, the studio wondered if the identity of the new pier could come from focusing on its structural piers. The idea evolved to take the new concrete piles that would be needed and to continue them out of the water, extending skyward to raise up sections of a green landscape. Fusing as they meet, these individual piles come together to form the topography of the park.

将新的公园抬高到空中，不仅可以抵消相邻大马路的风吹草动，还能很好地配合户外剧场和表演空间的需要，因为耙式座椅可以根据景观塑造，给观众更好的视野。

Raising the new piece of park up into the air could not only counteract the windswept quality of the big adjacent road but also work well with the need for outdoor theatre and performance spaces, as raked seating could be shaped into the landscape to give the audience better views.

最终的设计发展为一个重复的桩子系统，每个桩子的顶部都形成一个慷慨的花盆。然后，每个花盆在不同的高度以棋盘式的模式连接起来，创造出一个单一的操纵景观。在这个景观的数千吨新土壤中，将种植一百多种适合纽约严酷极端气候的本土树木和植物。因此，当你走到下面进入时，你可以体验到独特的地形，也可以从上面体验到280根桩子从水中升起的感觉。

The resulting design developed as a system of repeating piles which each form a generous planter at their top. Every planter then connects in a tessellating pattern at different heights to create a single manipulated piece of landscape. More than a hundred different species of indigenous trees and plants suited to the harsh extremes of New York climate will be planted within the thousands of tonnes of new soil of this landscape. The result is a unique topography that can be experienced as you walk underneath to enter, as well as from above as the 280 piles rise up out of the water.

除了是一个景观优美的公共公园外，新码头还将是一个可容纳700多人的室外剧场，一个可容纳200人的小型表演空间，一个可容纳3500人的主要空间，以及许多小路和观景平台。

As well as being a beautifully landscaped public park, the new pier will be a hardworking object that contains an outdoor theatre for over 700 people, a smaller performance space for 200, a main space for 3,500 and many pathways and viewing platforms.
