湾仔海滨花园「渡轮码头畔主题区」

灣仔海濱花園位處維多利亞港旁最後一片的填海區，為市民提供珍貴的休憩海濱空間。本項目旨在重新連接香港會議展覽中心及灣仔碼頭，加強海濱的連貫性，為公眾提供優質的戶外空間。待第二期完工後，灣仔海濱花園將重新連接鄰近的海濱休憩空間，成為維多利亞港最長的海濱長廊。有見灣仔過去進行不少填海工程，團隊以海岸線地圖，介紹海岸線百多年來從皇后大道東一帶一直向北延伸逾一公里的變遷。裝置不但向年輕一代介紹維港的變化，亦可勾起大眾對維港及灣仔區的集體回憶。

Situated in the last piece of reclaimed land, the promenade is designed to be a public open space to bring people to Victoria Harbour. The design emphasizes on connectivity, permeability and garden embankment in urban context.  Meandering by the sea is a gift to the people living in a congested city.  The project plays a critical role to connect the segregated harbourside spaces and to enhance continuity of waterfront, while providing quality open space for public enjoyment.  After completion, the promenade forms the longest accessible waterfront along Victoria Harbour.  The design introduced multiple frames of resting spaces along the waterfront and a coastline evolution exhibit to showcase the changes of coastline over the decades.  The installations not only educate the young generation the evolution of the City’s Harbour - Victoria Harbour but also recall the collective memories.

為連接城市與維多利亞港，我們在海濱長廊當中注入了自然元素。在園景中一系列的相框造型涼亭配合蜿蜒小徑，將遊人帶離人煙稠密的灣仔市區，享受海濱。相框造型的涼亭提供了不一樣的欣賞角度，構成一幅幅的晝夜維港美景。項目特別採用玻璃圍欄以拉近市民與海港的距離，讓市民與維港更接近。另外，為將香港特色融入海濱，沿路設置了以灣仔舊街道和霓虹燈飾為概念的藝術裝置，既可增加有蓋座位，亦為海濱提供「打卡位」，遊人可以和靠岸的天星小輪及以對岸的九龍城市景觀為背景拍照。以灣仔舊街道為題的藝術裝置亦能勾起不少人對灣仔區的集體回憶。

With an aim of mediating the dense urban fabric and Victor Harbour, the promenade infuses nature in between.  A series of portals and pavilions are set in the landscape intervened with meandering path, bringing the public from the dense inner city to the harbour.  Sight lines are carefully designed by setting a series of framed views towards Victoria Harbour round the clock, offering alternative perspectives.  Visual permeability by means of transparent barriers and shelter by the sea bring the public closer to the sea and the Kowloon cityscape beyond.  In order to infuse the promenade with local character, sittable installations with neon light and authentic colours are strategically located.  Street signs of the old streets in Wan Chai are used in the neon light installations evoking collective memories in the neighbourhood.

本項目廣植樹木和草坪以提供林蔭和綠化，除了緩解盛夏的高溫，更提供了親近自然的機會。就算身處在擠擁的城市中，市民亦可於樹蔭下散步或在草坪上的桌椅閒坐並欣賞美麗的維港景色。前後開通的相框造型涼亭加強了自然空氣對流，令坐在涼亭下的遊人可享受到海風的吹拂。涼亭提供遮擋日照的功能，同時以景觀窗引入適量自然陽光，供市民舒適地欣賞海景。栽種在海濱花園邊界的綠籬既降低了周邊建築地盤和車路的噪音及塵埃對海濱的影響，同時將人們的視線導向令人賞心悅目的維港景色。

Canopies and lawn provide relief from summer heat and intimacy with nature.  Meandering in and out of the landscape by Victoria Harbour under tree shading, overlooking breathtaking view of the harbour is a gift to the people living in a congested city like Hong Kong.  Picture frame pavilions open on both sides improve natural ventilation while visitors sitting under shelters could appreciate the sea breeze.  Pavilion’s viewing slots and openings allow natural sunlight to enter the shelter yet providing shades for people to enjoy the sea view.  The green hedges strategically located along the site boundary also minimize the influences of noise and dust from adjacent construction sites and traffic, and direct visitors to the stunning Victoria Harbour view.
