玛吉中心
Maggie’s Centre
A contemporary Hortus Conclusus
兰金弗雷泽风景园林的景观设计是玛吉在考特布里奇蒙克兰兹综合医院的拉纳克郡的概念和成功的核心。该建筑和封闭式花园被视为一个单一的连接组成部分，位于艾尔德里房屋周围的石灰树政策林地内；一个由多孔砖边界墙包围的“拱顶”从建筑本身延伸。景观设计保留了现有的政策树木，通过新的植树来强化这一特征，并建议在西面的入口庭院、东面的阴凉林地花园、建筑和树木之间进行对话。
Rankinfraser landscape architecture’s landscape design is central to the concept and success of Maggie’s Lanarkshire at Monklands General Hospital, Coatbridge. The building and enclosed gardens are conceived as a single linked composition sitting within the perimeter Lime tree policy woodland of Airdrie House; a ‘hortus conclusus’ enclosed by a perforated brick boundary wall extending from the building itself. The landscape design retains the existing policy trees, reinforces this feature with new tree planting and suggests a dialogue between an entrance courtyard to the west, a shady woodland garden to the east, the building and the trees.
建筑与花园的关系代表了玛姬中心设计演变中的一个重要时刻，体现了一种以研究为主导的认识，即与这些建筑相关联的宜人的家庭规模花园可以带来切实的健康效益，应该包括在其交付中。这个概念并不新鲜，也不应该让人感到意外；从阿罕布拉到奎里尼·斯坦帕利亚，花园是文明的象征，是日常活动的丰富者，是室内外空间的使者，是一个享受、聆听鸟鸣、品味新鲜空气的地方。
The relationship of building and gardens represents a significant moment in the design evolution of Maggie’s centre, embodying a research led realisation that delightful, domestic scale gardens associated with these buildings can deliver tangible health benefits and should be included in their delivery. This concept is not new, nor should it come as a surprise; from the Alhambra to Querini Stampalia the garden is a signifier of civilisation, an enricher of day to day activities, the bringer of inside/outside space, a place to enjoy, to hear birdsong, to taste fresh air.
保留下来的树木上斑驳的光影以及水的声音和流动在这两个花园里都是不变的。在到达球场，现有的石灰树、长凳和一条充满流水声的线性小溪结合在一起，创造出一种尊严感、宁静和平静，以及反思的机会。树木和水与花园的组成和空间设计相结合，这些设计源自建筑网格，近2.5米的落差横跨东部花园。通过预制混凝土“高贵门槛”平台、台阶和宽敞的座椅台阶，庆祝了这一标高变化，并从技术上解决了这一问题。这些步骤导致了一个令人回忆和丰富的种植林地花园，这是由一个仍然反射池终止。小型彩色荷兰粘土摊铺机与预制混凝土和边界墙处理形成对比。与建筑一样，花园的设计也为秘密时刻提供了私人空间。
Dappled light and shade from the retained trees and the sound and movement of water are constants in both gardens. In the arrival court, the existing lime trees, a bench and a linear rill rich with the sound of running water combine to create a sense of dignity, tranquillity and calm and the opportunity for reflection. The trees and water work in conjunction with the compositional and spatial design of the gardens that are derived from the building grid and the near 2.5 metre fall across the eastern garden. This change in level is celebrated and technically resolved with a precast concrete ‘noble threshold’ of terrace, steps and generous seating steps. These steps lead to an evocatively and richly planted woodland garden which is terminated by a still reflective pool. Small scale richly coloured Dutch clay pavers contrast with the precast concrete and boundary wall treatments. In common with the building, the garden is conceived with private spaces for confidential moments.
