利奥波多夫新公园
New Park in Leopoldov
从前的克罗夫特公墓被改造成一个公园，为孩子们提供游乐场设备，将一个被遗忘的穿过花园的地方变成了一个活跃的娱乐场所，所有年龄段的人都会找到放松的方式。该设计遵循三个基本原则——激活公园边界，在公园内自由移动，以及在现有结构中引入新的附加物。该项目是由一名建筑师、一名景观设计师和一名艺术家合作创建的，其基础是赢得了建筑解决方案的公开招标竞争。
The conversion of a former croft cemetery into a park with playground equipment for children transforms ahalf-forgotten walk-through garden into a site of active fun where people of all ages will find ways to wind down. The design works with three basic principles – activating the park boundary, enabling free movement within, and introducing new additions to the existing structures. The project was created in cooperation between an architect, a landscape architect and an artist based on winning the public tender competition for architectural solution.
沿着HlohovskáStreet的原始围栏被新安置在小教堂后面，扩大的人行道，即所谓的piazzetta，从这条大道进入公园更为宽敞。根据与邻近房屋的居民会面的结果，在花园的选定地点为选择的居民增加了通道。沿着Rázusova街的新围栏中的大门紧跟着对面通向附近协会花园的大门，市议会正计划开放该花园。
The original fencing along the Hlohovská Street was newly positioned behind the chapel, the enlarged pavement, a so called piazzetta, created more generous entrance to the park from this thoroughfare. Based on an outcome of a meeting with the residents of neighbouring houses access wickets were added for those of the residents who chose so in selected spots of their gardens. The gate in a new fencing along Rázusova Street follows the gate on the opposite side leading to the nearby Associational Garden, which the city council is planning to open.
新公园被认为是一个阴凉处的独特游乐场。所有灌木和木本植物的其他障碍物种均被清除。对生长完全的落叶树进行了处理，并添加了可通行的树梢，以防止绿地的破坏，并支持其进一步生长。额外的种植将原有胡同的之字形树木布局延伸成对角的树木网格，覆盖整个公园区域。保持树木根系周围的空隙，该区域用可通行的砾石表面稳定，从而缓解了现有唯一的通道轴线。
The New Park is perceived as a singular playground in a shade. All shrubs and other barrier species of woody plants were removed. Full-grown deciduous trees with underpassable treetops were treated and younger trees were added so as to prevent the break-up of the green area and also to support its further growth. The additional planting creates an extension of the zigzag tree arrangement of the original alley into a diagonal tree grid across the entire area of the park. Maintaining gaps around the root system of the trees, the area was stabilized with awalkable gravel surface, thus relieving the only existing thoroughfare axis.
原始墓地结构的历史层得以保留。小教堂成为了皮亚泽塔的地标，原来小巷两侧的路边十字架仍然打开了公园的入口。在皮亚泽塔城门旁的一个新的墓园里陈列着精心制作的墓碑。公园内的区域主要是由工业制造的工程元素制成的新的现成物品增强的，这些物品被认证为游乐场设备。与测量非典型设备相比，这些设备在经济上更方便，与标准化游乐场设备相比，它们提供了全新的解决方案，吸引孩子们探索和发展他们的想象力。除了这些功能性雕塑外，还安装了新的公共家具，包括长椅、垃圾箱、自行车架和公共照明。
The historical layer of the original cemetery structures was preserved. The chapel became a landmark of the piazzetta, roadside crucifixes on both sides of the original alley still open up the entrances to the park. Crafted gravestones were displayed in anew lapidary next to the gate from piazzetta. The inner park area was enhanced mainly by new ready-made objects originating from industrially manufactured engineering elements, certified as playground equipment. In comparison to the made-to-measure atypical counterparts these are an economically more convenient alternative, and in comparison to the standardized playground equipment they offer afresh solution inviting the children to explore and develop their imagination. Apart from these functional sculptures new public furniture including benches, dustbins, bike racks and public lighting were installed.
The project received CE ZE AR 2019 award. From the jury statement:
利奥波多夫的新公园证明，一个原始的公共空间也可以通过一种微妙的形式语言来实现。设计师们以一种令人愉悦的宁静而又新颖的方式，解决了将一座昔日的公墓改造成公园和游乐场的挑战性任务。他们避免了简单的产品目录，设计、建造和认证了典型的游乐场特征，并将其与一些过去的遗迹完美地结合在一起。通过移动历史围墙，创建城市前院，并为邻近的房地产增加入口，该项目还体现了对其与城市其他部分接口的理解。”
“New Park in Leopoldov proves that an original public space can also be achieved with a subtler formal language. The designers solved the challenging task of transforming a former cemetery into a park and playground in a pleasantly tranquil, yet original way. They avoided the easy way of catalogue products and designed, built and certified prototypical playground features, which they combined perfectly with some relics of the past. By moving the historical fence, creating a forecourt to the city and adding entrances to the neighbouring properties, the project also shows a reflected understanding of its interface with the rest of the city.”
