亚历山德拉路公园修复工程
Alexandra Road Park Restoration

强生；L吉本斯：亚历山德拉路公园设计和建造于20世纪70年代末，是亚历山德拉和安斯沃思大型二级房地产的核心。由于国家彩票通过传统彩票基金和大型彩票基金的资助，它最近已经完全恢复。2015年7月重新开放。
J&L Gibbons: Alexandra Road Park was designed and built in the late 1970’s and is at the heart of the large Grade II* listed Alexandra and Ainsworth Estate. It has recently been completely restored thanks to a grant from the National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund and Big Lottery Fund. It reopened in July 2015.

The Original Design

这是一个不同寻常的现代主义公园。坡道、墙壁和空间的布局从1968年起由卡姆登建筑师事务所的建筑师尼夫·布朗（Neave Brown）设计，作为整个庄园不可分割的一部分。景观设计师珍妮特·杰克（Janet Jack）利用种植设计将狭窄、多风的场地变成一系列的遮蔽空间，为居民和游客提供舒适和享受。
This is an unusual, modernist park. The layout of the ramps, walls, and spaces was designed from 1968 by the architect Neave Brown of Camden Architects’ Department, as an integral part of the whole estate. The landscape architect, Janet Jack used planting design to turn the narrow, windy site into a series of sheltered spaces for the comfort and enjoyment of the residents and visitors.

Alexandra Road Park Restoration

公园面积为1.7公顷，由一系列横穿狭长空间的斜路构成，创造了一系列具有不同特征的“室外房间”，最初包括五个游乐场，也是由Janet Jack设计的。这座建筑因山脊和山谷的戏剧性三维景观而充满活力。从凸起的花园和广场，以及更私密的凹陷空间，可以看到绝佳的景观。
The park is 1.7 hectares in size and is structured by a series of diagonal paths which cut across the long narrow space, creating a series of ‘outdoor rooms’ with different characters, originally incorporating five playgrounds also designed by Janet Jack. This structure is enlivened by a dramatic three-dimensional landscape of ridges and valleys. These create excellent views over the space from raised gardens and plazas, as well as more intimate sunken spaces.

种植了常绿和落叶、开花和结果灌木，以多种树种、质地和颜色的树木为背景。这些为周围建筑的大型建筑创造了浓密的树叶背景。全年种植的兴趣增强了不同的空间，让人们放松，野生动物繁衍生息。孩子们可以在阳光明媚、长满青草的草地上玩耍，在城市住宅开发中不常见的原生植被环境中探索种植的河岸。游乐场依偎在创造的景观中，成熟的树木将其与城市环境隔开，创造了一个宁静的环境。
Evergreen and deciduous, flowering and fruiting shrubs with a backing of trees of many species, textures and colours were planted. These created a dense backdrop of foliage for the large-scale architecture of the surrounding buildings. The year-round interest of the planting enhances the different spaces, allowing people to relax and wildlife to thrive. Children can play on the sunny, grassy meadow, explore planted banks in a setting of native vegetation unusual in urban housing developments. The playgrounds nestle into the created landscape with mature trees which separate them from the urban surroundings creating a tranquil environment.

The Park Restoration

Since its completion in 1979, Alexandra Road Park had fallen into disrepair, and the play equipment had been removed. In 2010 a group of local residents started work on a bid for funding to restore and improve the park, and formed a partnership with Camden Council.

强生；L吉本斯景观建筑师和直立式建筑被任命为公园修复的设计师，围绕街区项目代表卡姆登管理整个过程。在整个项目过程中，利益相关者的联络一直是关键，项目团队与租户和居民协会以及Alexandra路公园之友密切合作。与原景观设计师珍妮特·杰克（Janet Jack）一起审查提案的能力也是一个独特的机会。
J & L Gibbons Landscape Architects and Erect Architecture were appointed as the designers for the park restoration, and Around the Block project-managed the entire process on behalf of Camden. Stakeholder liaison has been key throughout the project with the project team working very closely with the Tenants and Residents Association and the Friends of Alexandra Road Park. The ability to review proposals with the original landscape architect, Janet Jack, was also a unique opportunity.

•使当地居民和游客能够体验和欣赏原始设计意图。
The project received £1.5m funding through the joint Heritage Lottery Fund and Big Lottery funded ‘Parks for People’ programme in 2013. This enabled an ambitious project to be delivered which aimed to:
• restore and enhance the original park landscapes and planting
• restore the hard landscaping and improve accessibility
• reinterpret the original play landscapes with new playgrounds reflecting current best practice
• improve biodiversity across the site
• enable the original design intent to be experienced and appreciated by a wide range of local residents and visitors.

Process

亚历山德拉路公园的修复从一开始就令人着迷，涉及到对遗产彩票基金资助的最现代遗产资产之一的修复，并被称为“英国同类中最重要的景观”。许多人会熟悉尼夫·布朗设计的庄园标志性建筑，但可能甚至不知道珍妮特·杰克1979年设计的位于庄园中心的公园。
The restoration of Alexandra Road Park was fascinating from the outset, involving the restoration of one of the most modern heritage assets that Heritage Lottery Fund have funded and cited as “the most significant landscape of its type in the UK” . Many will be familiar with the iconic architecture of the estate designed by Neave Brown, but may not even know of the park designed by Janet Jack in 1979 which lies at the centre of the estate.

在项目期间，设计团队与Janet Jack进行了多次会面，以充分了解原始设计意图，这反映在Sarah Coach专业研究的保护管理计划中，该计划构成了解开荒野、开阔视野和，恢复和展示由独特的墙壁几何结构和水平变化定义的公园工程地形和结构，增强丰富的空间格局。这使得Janet能够围绕种植、生物多样性和游戏等主题审查设计方案。这些刺激性会议考虑了现有资源的管理，以保持“野性”的感觉，同时开放视野和开发林下植被；嫁接新元素，包括由直立建筑设计的游戏功能；在良好的园艺和保护实践基础上形成长期愿景，以确保通过设计公园管理不仅仅是操作性的，而是一个为后代确保公园特色和质量的创造性过程。
During the project the design team met with Janet Jack several times to enable a full appreciation of the original design intent, reflected in the Conservation Management Plan researched expertly by Sarah Couch which formed the fundamental basis of the approach to untangling the wildness, opening views, restoring and revealing the engineered topography and structure of the park defined by distinctive geometry of the walls and level changes, and enhancing the rich spatial pattern. This enabled a review of design proposals thematically with Janet around planting, biodiversity and play. These stimulating sessions considered the management of the existing resource to preserve the sense of ‘wildness’ while opening views and developing the understory; grafting of new elements including play features designed by Erect Architecture; evolving a long-term vision based on sound horticultural and conservation practice, to ensure that through design the park management is much more than operational, rather it is a creative process of securing the park’s character and qualities for future generations.
