美国·传粉昆虫与鸟类花园

Architizer 最近宣布了 2024 年 A+ 奖的获奖者，这是一项规模最大的颁奖计划，旨在推广和庆祝年度最佳建筑。

Architizer recently announced the winners of the 2024 A+ Awards, the largest awards program focused on promoting and celebrating the year’s best architecture.

迪迪埃设计工作室 (Didier Design Studio) 是一家位于科罗拉多州柯林斯堡的景观建筑公司，在从构想到完成的各个设计和规划方面都拥有专业知识，该公司凭借其项目“授粉者在哪里”被选为 2024 年 Architizer 可持续景观/规划类别的评审团获奖者。该类别奖励采用可持续系统和材料并遵循道德设计、施工和运营最佳实践的项目。

Didier Design Studio, a landscape architecture firm based in Fort Collins, Colorado, with expertise in all facets of design and planning, from vision to completion, was selected as the 2024 Jury Winner in Architizer’s Sustainable Landscape/Planning category for their project, “Where the Pollinators Are”. This category awards projects that incorporate sustainable systems and materials, and which follow best practices pertaining to ethical design, construction, and operation.

评审团获奖项目是位于宾夕法尼亚州立大学植物园的授粉昆虫和鸟类花园。该项目是正在进行的研究议程的直接延伸，旨在了解和解释最近全球授粉昆虫和鸟类数量的减少。

The Jury-winning project is the Pollinator and Bird Garden, located at The Arboretum at Penn State in State College, Pennsylvania. The project is a direct extension of an ongoing research agenda to understand and explain the recent decreases in pollinator and bird populations across the world.

植物园传粉媒介项目主任、宾夕法尼亚州立大学农业科学学院助理研究教授哈兰德·帕奇 (Harland Patch) 表示：“这座花园的独特之处在于，它将栖息地设计与人类可接近且美观的设计结合在一起，植物种类繁多，其中许多植物你在任何其他花园中都看不到。”

Harland Patch, director of pollinator programming at the Arboretum, and assistant research professor for the Penn State College of Agricultural Sciences, said, “The garden is unique in that it puts together habitat design and design that is accessible and beautiful to humans with a very diverse mix of plants, many of which you will not see in any other garden.”

了解和扭转全球传粉媒介物种消失的趋势对于人类生存的延续至关重要。面对环境和经济灾难，许多人都感到无能为力。对此，迪迪埃设计工作室创意总监兼花园首席设计师 Emmanuel Didier 表示：“传粉媒介和鸟类花园以具体、切实的方式将人们与传粉媒介减少的问题联系起来，在气候变化的背景下将科学置于最前沿。这一行动充满希望。”

Understanding and reversing pollinator species disappearances around the world is critical to the continuation of human existence. In the face of environmental and economic disaster, many are left with a sense of powerless inevitability. In response, creative director of Didier Design Studio and lead designer of the Garden, Emmanuel Didier said, “The Pollinator and Bird Garden connects people with the issue of pollinator decline in specific, tangible ways, placing science in the forefront in the context of climate change. There is hope in that action.”

这一议程在占地 3.5 英亩的花园中展开，并实现三个相互关联的目标：直接传达和解释现场进行的科学研究，为人们提供一个了解传粉者和鸟类栖息地的引人入胜的场所，并鼓励游客在自己的私人花园中实施城市栖息地。后一个目标有可能成倍地影响更健康的生态网络在已开发的景观中的传播。

This agenda unfolds across the 3.5-acre garden and realizes three interrelated goals: to directly convey and interpret scientific research being conducted on site, to offer an engaging place for people to learn about pollinator and bird habitats, and to inspire visitors to implement urban habitats within their own private gardens. This latter goal has the potential to exponentially impact the spread of healthier ecological networks across already-developed landscapes.

为了实现这些目标，迪迪埃组建了一个设计专家团队，并将该项目设计为与宾夕法尼亚州立大学传粉者研究中心研究人员的合作之旅。 

To realize these goals, Didier assembled a team of design experts and framed the project as a collaborative journey with research staff at The Center for Pollinator Research at Penn State. 

该设计方法基于多年的研究，将平坦的牧场改造成一套多样化的生态条件，以支持吸引鸟类和传粉者的各种植物物种。地面被雕刻成一个活跃的地形，形成了七种土壤条件和适合传粉者的覆盖物的马赛克，旨在创造新的土地类型，从粘土覆盖的洼地到湿草地的壤土，再到干燥条件下排水良好的聚合土。

Grounded in years of research, the design approach transformed a level pasture to create a diverse set of ecological conditions that could support the wide range of plant species necessary to entice birds and pollinators throughout the seasons. The ground plane was sculpted into an activated terrain, forming a mosaic of seven soil conditions and pollinator-attuned mulches prescribed to create novel land typologies, from swales lined with clay, to loamy soils for wet meadows, and well-draining aggregate soils for dry conditions.

雕刻的地形在整个场地内培育了各种各样的微气候和条件，创造了多样化的生态交错带和栖息地，其中路径和小径经过精心设计，让游客沉浸在传粉媒介的世界中。

The sculpted terrain fosters a wide array of microclimates and conditions across the site, creating a diversity of ecotones and habitats through which pathways and trails are carefully choreographed to immerse visitors into the world of pollinators.

对于这次精心策划的体验，迪迪埃表示：“我们经常听说，当今世界上大量传粉昆虫物种正在消失，数量之多令人震惊……但我认为这座花园提供了一个独特的机会：将体验从人类世界中的传粉昆虫转变为传粉昆虫世界中的人类。这座花园是改变这种基本关系的机构：即我们在当今世界的地位。”

Of this curated experience, Didier said, "We often hear about the alarming amount of species of pollinators disappearing from OUR world today... but I think this garden offers a unique opportunity: to flip the experience, from pollinators in the world of people, to people in the world of pollinators. This garden is an agency in transforming this fundamental relationship: our position in the world today."

在开业的第一年，传粉昆虫和鸟类花园展示了 340 种耐寒植物，其中 78% 是本土物种或其选种。植物的目标是为本土昆虫（尤其是传粉昆虫）以及该地区的留鸟和候鸟提供最大生命周期的支持。如今，花园里生机盎然，激发人们在个人和集体层面上关心和采取行动，培育栖息地。

In its first year, the Pollinator and Bird Garden showcased 340 hardy plant taxa, of which 78% were native species or selections thereof. Plants were targeted toward species that would provide maximum life-cycle support for native insects – particularly pollinators – and the region’s resident and migratory birds. Today, the garden brims with life, inspiring care and action toward fostering habitat at individual and collective scales.

传粉者和鸟类花园也是 2024 年世界景观建筑奖入围名单之一，并于 2022 年荣获美国景观建筑学会-科罗拉多荣誉奖。

The Pollinator and Bird Garden was also a 2024 World Landscape Architecture Award Shortlist selection and, in 2022, won the American Society of Landscape Architecture - Colorado Honor Award.
