太平洋俯瞰
Pacific Overlook
Editor's note
除了提供史诗般的景观,这个袖珍社交空间实际上也是一个社区花园、广场、滑板公园和纪念碑。后者来自于一个事实,即在1930年代,有一个开发项目滑下了悬崖,一些遗迹至今仍然可见。有趣的是,这些遗骸启发了这个项目的形式,而不是事故发生前的建筑状态。所以这里有很多抽象的东西,而不是一些天真的纪念品,不幸的是,这种情况经常发生。谷歌地图(Google Maps)的一次访问将表明,最初的种植计划没有成功。也许是社区成员改变了它,无论如何,这是一个遗憾,因为它赋予了这个地方独特的特征。仿佛紫罗兰色和淡黄色的植物想要在夕阳的余晖和晚空的蓝粉色中嬉戏。很难相信景天会在这个地方的气候条件下存活下来。
Besides offering the epic view, this pocket social space is in fact also a community garden, plaza, skatepark and a monument. The latter comes from the fact that there was a development that slid down the bluff in 1930′ and some remains are still visible today. It’s interesting that the remains inspired the forms of this project and not the previous state of the architecture before the accident. So there is a great deal of abstraction rather than some naive memorabilia, which is sadly often the case. A Google Maps visit will show that the initial planting scheme did not survive. Maybe it was changed by the members of the community, in any case it’s a pity since it was giving unique character to the place. As if the violet and yellow-ish plants would want to play with the sunset light and blue – pink hues of evening sky. It would be hard to believe that Sedum would not survive the climatic conditions of this site.

CMG景观建筑:以前是由海岸线急剧崩塌造成的悬崖上的停车场,太平洋俯瞰的形式从地面上浮现出来,就像过去的遗迹。在洛杉矶最南端,太平洋远眺从一个停车场改造成了一个公共开放空间,于2010年开放。作为设计灵感的一部分,与项目现场相邻的是沉没城市,这是一个郊区开发项目,在20世纪30年代从不稳定的海岸断崖上滑下。在市郊基础设施的零散废墟中可以看到它的遗迹。裂缝的混凝土路面在悬崖边缘起伏;附着着生命的行道树在被毁坏的人行道上做了索引。沉没的城市是一个激进的公共空间,今天当地人仍在探索和经常光顾。
CMG Landscape Architecture: Previously a parking lot on a bluff created by the dramatic collapse of the coastline, the forms of Pacific Overlook emerge from the ground like remnants of the past. At the southernmost tip of Los Angeles, Pacific Overlook was transformed from a parking lot into a public open space which opened in 2010. Serving as an inspiration for the design and adjacent to the project site is Sunken City, a suburban development that slid down the unstable costal bluff in the 1930s. Its remnants are visible in the scattered ruins of suburban infrastructure. Cracked pieces of concrete roads undulate over the edges of the bluff; street trees that have clung to life index the ruined sidewalks. Sunken City is a radical public space still explored and frequented by locals today.

断崖的微妙岩土条件要求太平洋远眺的设计能够防止水的渗透,并且不会增加显著的重量。这意味着没有植树、灌溉或为高度或荷载较大的结构设置基脚。为了应对这些限制,我们选择了具有浅层土壤系统的低水景天物种(典型的绿色屋顶种植),以图形模式填充钢制种植园。一个混凝土盖创造了地平面,而座位墙和观景台则以不同的形式和布置参照了相邻的废墟。
The delicate geotechnical conditions of the bluff required Pacific Overlook’s design to prevent infiltration of water and not add significant weight. This meant no tree planting, irrigation, or footings for structures of great height or load. In response to the constraints, we chose low-water sedum species with shallow soil systems, typical of green roof planting, to fill steel planters in a graphic pattern. A concrete cap creates the ground plane, while seat walls and viewing platforms reference the adjacent ruins in their various forms and arrangements.
太平洋远眺提供了一个空旷的景观——任何人都可以根据需要使用——但有足够的细节和雕塑形式,以保持其自身的宁静。平衡开放性和复杂性,材料和设计词汇反映了圣佩德罗的工业历史。设计细节通过物质性、质感和阴影引导游客的注意力:座椅的感觉,一个表面在阳光下的高对比度,另一个表面在阴影下的高对比度。颜色鲜艳的景天属植物的图案由模块组成,以图形的形式展示,而较高的肉质植物遮住了街道,是俯瞰的门槛。
Pacific Overlook provides an empty landscape – available to anyone to use as appropriate – but with sufficient detail and sculptural form to assert a quiet presence in its own right. Balancing openness and intricacy, the materials and design vocabulary reflect the industrial history of San Pedro. Design details direct a visitors’ attention with materiality, texture and shadow: the way the seat feels, the high contrast of one surface in full sun and the other in shade. The pattern of the brilliantly colored sedum species is composed of modules, laid out as a graphic while taller succulents screen the street and are a threshold to the overlook.
