西哈莱姆码头公园
The West Harlem Piers Park

W-建筑：西哈莱姆皮尔斯公园是一个戏剧性的空间变化，已经失去了许多年的社区。我们的设计领导在九年的时间里结束了社区30年的斗争，以恢复其滨水区并恢复其与河流的连接。一个69000平方英尺的狭长停车场通过创造性规划扩展为一个105526平方英尺的公园，以可持续和有意义的方式重新想象城市和哈德逊河之间的界限。
W-Architecture: The West Harlem Piers Park is a dramatic transformation of space that had been lost to the community for many years. Our design leadership over a nine year period terminated a 30 year struggle by the community to regain their waterfront and renew their connection to the river. A narrow 69,000 sf parking lot has been expanded through creative planning into a 105,526 sf park that re-imagines the threshold between the city and the Hudson in a sustainable and meaningful way.

The West Harlem Piers Park

该场地位于哈得逊河沿岸第129街和第133街之间的一个网球场，不宽于一个网球场，已被附近的交通和公路切断。这条河的入口，历史上是相邻断崖之间的一个天然海湾，最近是一个工业港口，现在已经变成了一个铺砌和围栏的停车场。该项目的目的是在哈德逊河上创建一个聚集地，以重新连接居民与水的联系。我们的设计团队与一群强大的社区活动家密切合作，举行了一系列公开会议，为相邻的40个街区区域制定了总体规划。该计划的第一阶段是创建西哈莱姆码头公园，其中包括改造相邻道路以促进行人通道、新的社区码头，以及对停车场进行总体重新规划。
The site, no wider than a tennis court between 129th and 133rd Streets along the Hudson River, had been cut off from the neighborhood by the adjacent traffic and highway above. This point of access to the river, historically a natural cove between adjacent bluffs, and more recently an industrial port, had become a paved and fenced parking lot. The project intent was to create a gathering place on the Hudson to reconnect the residents to the water. Working closely with a strong group of community activists, our design team held a series of public meetings that resulted in a master plan for the adjacent 40 block area. The first phase of the plan was the creation of West Harlem Piers Park which included transforming the adjacent road to promote pedestrian access, new community piers, and the total re-envisioning of the parking lot.

公园的设计是基于凹形空间的概念，它是一个集合了场地上各种力量的地方。这种形式是来自城市和水的力量共同作用的结果。公园的元素被分散并按大小排序，就好像是被波浪留下的一样。这些元素包括花岗岩长凳（重新利用隔板上的花岗岩块）、草坪部分和三角形花盆。人行道在其模式中重申了这种波浪式运动。桥墩本身也遵循土地形成模式，而不是历史上的桥墩配置。码头提供各种与水有关的活动，包括钓鱼、远足划船、生态意识和一般娱乐。这种植物材料创造了两种生态：一种是落叶树木混杂的林地，一种是低矮的林下植被和多年生地被植物；另一种是公园两端300英尺长、色彩鲜艳的海滨多年生植物床和用于多种活动的斜坡草坪。
The park design is based on the idea of the cove form as a place collection of the forces working on the site. The form is a result of both the forces from the city as well as the water. Elements of the park are scattered and sorted by size as if left by waves. The elements include granite benches (reusing granite blocks from the bulkhead), segments of lawn, and triangular planters. The pavement reiterates this wavelike motion in its pattern. The piers themselves follow land formation patterns as well, rather than historic pier configurations. The piers provide various water-related activities including fishing, excursion boating, ecological awareness, and general recreation. The plant material creates two ecologies: a woodland with mixed deciduous trees, low understory and perennial ground cover, and the cove which features colorful 300 foot long seaside perennial beds at either end of the park and a sloped lawn for multiple activities.

该公园分阶段建设，在不中断交通的情况下缩小现有的相邻公路。桥墩和道路是第一阶段，而高地改造完成了公园的第二阶段。需要获得城市公园、州环境部和陆军工程兵团的批准。码头的缓解措施包括在河底安装礁球，以提供鱼类栖息地。
The park involved phased construction, to narrow the existing adjacent highway without disrupting traffic flow. Piers and roadway were the first phase, while upland improvements completed the park as phase two. Approvals were required from the City Parks, from the State Department of the Environment, and from the Army Corps of Engineers. Mitigation for the piers involved the installation of reef balls on the floor of the river to provide for fish habitat.
