康科德社区弹出式公园
Concord Community Pop-up Park
在从开始到完工不到一年的时间里，一片3.5英亩的未充分利用的沥青地被改造成了位于东北部False Creek的一个郁郁葱葱、充满活力的临时公园。公园自发、好玩和非正式的特点通过其引人注目的设计干预得以体现。它的成功体现在游客对塑造和激活公园的独特欢迎，在一个由其无常定义的地方灌输意义和所有权。
In less than a year from inception to completion, a 3.5-acre under utilized asphalt expanse was transformed into a lush, vibrant interim park at northeast False Creek. The park’s spontaneous, playful and informal character is expressed through its compelling design intervention. Its success is evident in how visitors feel uniquely welcome to shape and activate the park, instilling meaning and ownership in a place defined by its impermanence.
这部分历史悠久的1986年世界博览会遗址在30多年的时间里保持静止。居民们期望在海堤的西面和南面有一个类似于其他公园的绿地。然而，一些社会经济和环境条件——包括未来拆除现场高架桥——造成了延误。由于永久性公园在基础设施拆除之前无法建成，因此出现了一个修建临时海滨公园的独特机会。在不到一年的时间里，普华永道伙伴关系将一片被忽视的硬景观改造成了一个进步的城市公园，深受社区的喜爱，并受到该遗址历史和邻里愿景的启发。
This portion of the historic1986 World Exposition site remained static for over 30 years. Residents anticipated a green space similar to other parks along the seawall to the west and south. However, several socio-economic and environmental conditions— including the future removal of the on-site viaducts— caused delays. Because a permanent park could not be built until that infrastructure is dismantled, a unique opportunity to build an interim waterfront park arose. In less than a year, PWL Partnership transformed a neglected expanse of hardscape into a progressive, urban park beloved by the community and inspired by the site’s history and neighbourhood vision.
充分利用当地智慧和社区及邻里需求的强大社区共同设计过程对形成愿景至关重要。尽管从技术上讲，公众可进入的公园是一块私人土地，但将所有人纳入其中是一个优先事项。为确保实现这一目标，设计过程包括制定创新的公园服务员计划，让土著青年和当地社区成员参与公园的管理工作。最终，该设计旨在创造一个安全、吸引人、多用途的绿色空间，其灵活性足以容纳社区驱动的一系列规划。
A robust community co-design process that leveraged local wisdom and community and neighbourhood needs were crucial in shaping the vision. Despite the publicly accessible park technically being a private land parcel, the inclusion of all peoples was a priority. To ensure this was achieved, the design process included the development of an innovative park attendants’ program to engage indigenous youth and members from the local community in the park’s stewardship. Ultimately, the design aimed to create a safe, engaging, multipurpose green space that would be flexible enough to accommodate a range of programming driven by the community.
公园受到居民的充分欢迎，他们与其他公园使用者建立了深厚的关系，并表示生活质量有所提高。公园不仅在日益密集的区域扩大了开放空间，还为人们提供了一个安全从事各种户外活动的环境。毫不奇怪，这一流行病增加了它的受欢迎程度，吸引了比以往任何时候都多的用户，因为人们寻找可以在一起而不在一起的开放空间。使用量的增加揭示了设计中固有的容量规划。如果说公园的重要社交媒体影响力是一个指标的话，那么它的影响将是持久的，是这个时代和这个地方的象征。
The park is fully embraced by residents, who have established deep relationships with other park users and expressed an improved quality of life. The park not only expands open space access in an increasingly high-density area, but it also provides a setting for people to safely engage in a variety of outdoor activities. Not surprisingly, the pandemic increased its popularity, hosting more users than ever as people sought out open spaces where they could be together while staying apart. This increase in use revealed capacity planning inherent in the design. If the park’s significant social media presence is any indicator, its impact will be long-lasting and emblematic of this time and place.
尽管康科德社区公园最终取得了成功，但它存在着各种障碍：公园的临时性；被现有沥青覆盖的高度污染场地；以及侵略性时间表的压力。项目团队接受了这些限制条件，形成了创新的可持续设计原则，并将其与有趣、实用和经济的解决方案相结合。该公园为景观设计师提供了一个先例，让他们了解成功的设计不一定与场地的永久性有关，而是与人们在感觉与景观和场所相连时形成的情感联系有关
Despite its ultimate success, the Concord Community Park site presented a variety of obstacles: the temporary nature of the park; a highly contaminated site capped by existing asphalt; and the pressure of an aggressive timeline. The project team embraced these constraints, resulting in innovative sustainable design principles mixed with fun, practical and economical solutions. This park offers a precedent for landscape architects to understand successful design is not necessarily linked to a site’s permanence but rather to the emotional connection that people form when they feel connected to a landscape and place
