维多利亚公园

维多利亚公园
Victoria Park

哈塞尔：在欧洲开发之前，维多利亚公园遗址是被称为植物沼泽的大型湿地和泻湖生态系统的一部分。该场地在19世纪首先作为赛马场开发，然后用于重工业。大片平坦的土地和看似无限的优质地下水吸引了开发，但这些用途是不可持续的，场地的生态系统逐渐恶化。维多利亚公园目前是一个占地24公顷的混合用途开发项目，包括中密度和高密度住宅、商业和零售设施以及公共区域，可容纳5000人。
HASSELL: Prior to European development, the Victoria Park site was part of a large wetland and lagoon ecological system known as the Botany Swamp. The site was developed firstly as a racecourse in the 1800s, and then for heavy industry. The large, flat land and seemingly limitless supply of good quality ground water attracted development, but these uses were unsustainable and the site’s ecosystems gradually deteriorated. Victoria Park is now a 24 hectare mixed-use development, incorporating medium and high-density housing, commercial and retail facilities and public domain for a population of 5,000.

Victoria Park

维多利亚公园的HASSELL设计理念体现了与其位置相关的四项关键原则：整个场地的环境策略、自然湿地系统的解释、场地连通性和社区发展。为了社区的享受，创造了各种特殊的公共环境。广场、游乐场和公共艺术品与提供大型开放空间和圆形剧场相结合，以满足现场滞留大量雨水的需要。公共空间具有丰富的空间形式和材料，由湿地物种的本土种植的共同线索统一，以及为满足特定的保水要求而塑造的地形。
The HASSELL design concept for Victoria Park embodied four key principles that relate to its place: a site-wide environmental strategy, interpretation of the natural wetland systems, site connectivity, and community development. A variety of exceptional public settings were created for the enjoyment of the community. Plazas, playgrounds and public artworks are combined with the provision of large open spaces and amphitheaters that meet the need to detain large quantities of storm water onsite. The public spaces have a richness in spatial form and materials, unified by the common thread of indigenous planting of wetland species, and a landform that is moulded to accommodate the specific water retention requirements.

植物选择和栖息地创建支持当地生态系统，促进生物多样性，艺术品表达并庆祝水质改善成就。生物滞留洼地渗滤系统可调节现场公共道路第一次冲洗水的水质。过滤后的水被截留、回收，并明显暴露在现场显著的水特征处。
The plant selection and habitat creation support the local ecosystem, promoting biodiversity and the artworks express and celebrate the improved water quality achievements. A bio-retention swale infiltration system regulates the quality of first flush water from the site’s public roads. The filtered water is intercepted, recycled and visibly exposed at the site’s notable water features.

自然系统在维持土地方面的价值常常是农村发展的标志，但在城市环境中被认为是行不通的。维多利亚公园重新定义了自然系统的作用，并暴露了景观作为装饰的想法的缺陷。由于其创新的水管理系统及其集成，该项目超出了预期
The value of natural systems in sustaining the land has often been the hallmark of rural development, but deemed unworkable in urban situations. Victoria Park redefines the role of natural systems and exposes the shortcomings in ideas of landscape as ornament. The project exceeded expectations by virtue of its innovative water management system and its integration

Victoria Park not only provides a valuable recreation resource for the community, it also sets about restoring and reconstructing the ecosystems that once prevailed.
