美国黄沙公地
Ponderosa Commons
英属哥伦比亚大学是一个伟大的想法。温哥华校园总体规划已将校园内的几个地点确定为“公共区”——具有混合用途的高活动区——包括在美国黄埔岛的学生宿舍、学术、工作室、实验室、教员办公室、酒店、餐厅和休息室。Poundosa Commons是校园内第一个此类设施；它的设计是对什么是“公地”的探索。与HCMA和KPMB的建筑合资企业以及校园和社区规划合作，Hapa开始了一项占地四英亩的雄心勃勃的设计，与三座主要建筑同步进行。
Ponderosa Commons was a big idea for the University of British Columbia. The Vancouver campus master plan had identified several locations on campus to become ‘Commons’ – high activity zones with mixed uses – including, in the case of Ponderosa, student housing, academics, studios, labs, faculty offices, a hotel, restaurants, and lounges. Ponderosa Commons was the first of its type on campus; its design was an exploration into what a ‘Commons’ could be. Working alongside the architectural joint venture of HCMA and KPMB, as well as Campus and Community Planning, Hapa embarked on an ambitious design for four acres, phased in tandem with three major buildings.
该项目包括一个中心景观，是校园主轴之一的终点，以及三个与新建筑相关的庭院。这个概念是将最活跃的公共用途集中在大学大道的中央景观上，并在庭院内创造更安静的空间。该项目因现场固有的许多挑战而丰富。首先，场地经历了显著的坡度变化，其次是项目的同名者：一棵雄伟的现有黄松。
The project consists of a central landscape which is the terminus to one of the campus’ major axes, and three courtyards associated with new architecture. The concept was to focus the most active, public uses onto the central landscape of University Boulevard, and create more calm spaces within the courtyards. The project was enriched by many challenges inherent to the site. Firstly, the significant grade change traversed by the site, and secondly by the namesake of the project: a majestic existing Ponderosa Pine.
Hapa进行了广泛的分级研究，研究如何尽可能接近现场。通过与无障碍咨询公司合作，所采用的策略是将现场的自然坡度（相当一致的5.4%）视为“无障碍”，并将所有入口连接到该坡度下的主走道。通过接受稍微陡峭的坡度，Hapa能够避免在整个设计中采用传统的1/12坡道。
Hapa performed extensive grading studies, looking at how the site could be as accessible as possible. Working with an accessibility consultant, the strategy adopted was to accept the natural slope of the site, a fairly consistent 5.4%, as ‘accessible’, and connect all entrances to a main walkway down this slope. By accepting a slightly steeper slope, Hapa was able to avoid employing a single traditional 1 in 12 ramp throughout the design.
将设计与斜坡相结合的愿景是创造一系列“房间”，这些房间沿着林荫大道向下延伸，创造出可居住的地方。三个主要空间由一个室外教室组成，教室有明确的黑板墙、一个具有引人注目的抛物线几何图形的特色草坪和一个以保留在现场的现有樱花树为灵感的Hanami（樱花观赏）露台。室外教室是教育学院两栋大楼之间的中点。五棵苹果树环绕着这个空间，在毕业的同时在九月结出果实，这是对未来教师职业抱负的一个小小的仪式。阶梯式景观设计为从斜坡顶部和下方，通过倾斜的墙壁、陡峭的种植平面和树木观看。流通是通过连接整个网站的“欲望线”来构思的。这些路径是景观中元素形式安排的起源。
The vision for the integration of the design with the slope was to create a series of ‘rooms’ which step down the boulevard, creating inhabitable places. An outdoor classroom with a defining chalkboard wall, a feature lawn with dramatic, parabolic geometries and a Hanami (cherry blossom viewing) terrace inspired by existing cherry trees retained on site, comprise the three major spaces. The outdoor classroom is the midpoint between the Faculty of Education’s two buildings. Five apple trees surround the space, and bear fruit in September concurrently with graduation, a small ceremonial gesture to future teachers’ professional aspirations. The stepped landscape is designed to be viewed from the top of the slope and from below, through angled walls, steep planes of planting, and trees. Circulation was conceived of by connecting ‘desire lines’ across the site. These pathways were the genesis of the formal arrangements of elements within the landscape.
保留现有的美国黄松是通过重新规划现有的甲板和松树周围的花园来实现的。Hapa采用了精确但微妙的更新：甲板采用了新的表面和栏杆，花园采用了新的本土植物，将树木与其新环境结合起来，同时最大限度地保护树木的健康。这棵树是一个代表校园新时代的项目的图标，但它植根于校园对自然的传统遐想。
The retention of the existing Ponderosa Pine was achieved by re-purposing an existing deck and garden surrounding the pine. Hapa employed precise but subtle updates: a new surface and railing for the deck, and new native-focused plantings for the garden, marry the tree to its new environment while taking utmost care with the tree’s health. The tree is an icon for a project representing a new era for the campus, but anchored in the campus’ traditional reverie for nature.
