纳皮尔街休憩用地
Napier Street Open Space

奥库卢斯：纳皮尔的东端在20世纪80年代被禁止通行，以防止重型车辆在牛津街和南道林街之间通过悉尼帕丁顿附近的住宅区抄近路。这条道路的封闭创造了一个步行空间，延伸到格林路和牛津街的交叉口，并毗邻新南威尔士大学美术学院（COFA）校园。COFA设施的大量翻修最近已经完成，包括在大楼北侧，纳皮尔街道路封闭前提供一个新的入口门厅和咖啡馆。从这个入口门厅可以进入一个新的画廊空间。
OCULUS: The eastern end of Napier was closed to traffic in the 1980’s to prevent heavy vehicles taking a short cut, between Oxford Street and South Dowling Street, through the surrounding residential area of Paddington in Sydney. This road closure has created a pedestrianised space that extends to the intersection of Greens Road and Oxford Street, and adjoins the UNSW College of Fine Arts (COFA) campus. Substantial refurbishments to the COFA facilities have recently been completed, including provision of a new entry foyer and café on the northern side of the building, fronting the Napier Street road closure. A new gallery space can be accessed from this entry foyer.

咖啡馆和画廊空间有助于增加公共领域的活跃度，因此，悉尼市认为，该区域的预期使用量增加，有必要对退化的道路封闭区域进行更新，以便不仅为学生，而且最重要的是为当地社区提供一个充满活力和吸引力的公共领域。
The café and gallery space contribute to increased activation of the public domain, hence the anticipated increase in usage of the area was deemed by the City of Sydney to warrant the renewal of the degraded road closure area to provide a vibrant and inviting public domain not only for students but most importantly the local community.

One of the main objectives noted in the brief was to transform the place into one of Paddington’s premier meeting places and activity nodes by creating a vibrant and inviting public domain.

Napier Street Open Space

•探索各种选项，提供灵活多样的座位类型，有助于使该区域成为会议场所。
The following key strategies were identified during the feasibility study:
• retain all existing mature Fig trees;
• provide opportunities for people to gather;
• explore understory planting opportunities to complement the existing tree canopy;
• investigate the concept utilizing the existing and proposed vegetation to provide a setting for an outdoor café.;
• maximise pedestrian space and pedestrian circulation at the verge area adjoining Oxford Street/Greens Road intersection; and
• explore options to provide flexible and various seating types that will assist in making the area a meeting place.

空间的定义方面是主要由无花果树组成的树冠；无花果属（benjamina）和班加罗棕榈（Archotonofenix cunninghamiana）。现场的所有树木都被保留下来，并辅以郁郁葱葱、密集的种植，以补充座位墙和现有树木的曲线形式。在油站墙壁对齐后，在北面的花园床上安装了一个高度在1.0至1.5米之间的装饰屏风，然后以好玩的方式旋转和重新排列，使混凝土座椅边缘朝东。该屏幕从相邻加油站天篷的杂乱中提供视觉效果，并作为现场的一个强有力的识别功能。
The defining aspect of the space is the tree canopy comprised principally of Fig trees (Ficus macrocarpa hillii & Ficus benjamina) and Bangalow Palms (Archontophoenix cunninghamiana). All trees on site have been retained and supplemented with lush, dense planting that complements the curvilinear form of the seating walls and the existing trees. A decorative screen of varying height between 1.0 to 1.5 metres high has been situated in the garden beds to the north generally following the alignment of the service station wall and then turning and realigning in a playful manner with the concrete seating edge to the east. The screen provides visual relief from the clutter of the adjoining service station canopy and acts as a strong identifying feature for the site.

总体而言，该设计减少了视觉混乱，给人留下了一系列“房间”的印象，这些房间仅由令人印象深刻的树冠包围。包括两个甲板允许直接通过现场移动，同时提供三个清晰的占用区域，供当地社区和COFA使用。
Overall the design reduces visual clutter giving the impression of a series of “rooms” enclosed only by the impressive tree canopy. The inclusion of the two decks allows direct movement through the site whilst providing three clear zones of occupation which can be utilised by the local community and COFA alike.
