卡蒂萨克花园酒店
Cutty Sark Gardens

秋葵：历史上，卡蒂萨克花园一直是一个迷人的地方，它代表了一个具有国际吸引力的开拓性地方。历史感扎根于该地区：格林尼治时间的子午线、皇家海军学院以及卡蒂萨克号本身的航行。考虑到奥运会，卡蒂萨克花园将成为通往其他目的地的门户，同时提供一个有趣的焦点。该地区的潜力与目前的表现方式形成强烈对比。挑战在于创造一个有吸引力的地方，并将该区域改造成一个无障碍的区域，而不是由汽车在入口处占据主导地位。被忽视的城市边缘必须转变为活跃的临街，这有助于该地区的活力。河流步道需要改为友好的步道，因为它目前在视野中被许多栅栏所占据。
OKRA: Through history the site of Cutty Sark gardens has been a fascinating location, it represents a pioneering place with international allure. A sense of history is anchored in the area: the Meridian GMT, the Royal Naval College, and the voyages of the Cutty Sark itself. With the Olympics in mind Cutty Sark Gardens will be a gateway to other destinations, while offering an interesting focal point itself. The potential of the area is in strong contrast with the way it is presenting itself at the moment. The challenges are to create an attractive place to be and to transform the area into an accessible area, which is not dominated by cars at the entrances. The neglected urban edges have to be transformed into active frontages, which contribute to the vibrancy of the area. The river walk needs to be changed into a friendly walk, as it is currently dominated by a lot of fences in the view.

Tidal tectonics

OKRA建议卡蒂萨克花园将成为一个潮汐广场，对人流做出反应：清晨安静，假期大量游客。人们来了，呆了，或者经过。该地区被规划为城市和绿色，形成通往泰晤士河的坡度。人们将体验一系列的氛围：城市网络、卡蒂萨克广场、花园和泰晤士河步行街。卡蒂萨克的中心位置将得到加强：它将是广场和公园区之间的一座雕塑。
OKRA suggests that the Cutty Sark Gardens will be a tidal square, reacting to flows of people: Quiet in the early hours and large amounts of visitors during holidays. People are coming, staying or passing through. The area is proposed as both urban and green, creating a gradient to the river Thames. People will experience a sequence of atmospheres: the urban network, the square around Cutty Sark, the gardens and the River Thames’ Walk. The central position of the Cutty Sark will be strengthened: it will be a sculpture in between the square and the park zone.

“潮汐广场”的理念基于功能灵活性。一个吸引人的地方，提供亲密规模和大规模的空间，并有能力适应更大和更小的活动。其目的是减少和增加空间。当潮湿的地板和喷泉减少了空间，并创造了一个儿童可以玩耍的水池时，就会创造出一个亲密的空间。在活动期间，当水被移走时，空间将发生变化，并且有一大片铺砌区域可供人们从一个地方移动到另一个地方。将创造一个充满活力和亲密的空间，提供24小时、每周和季节性的节奏。夜景支持这一点，既安全又有趣。动态照明和节能系统在夜间和夜间提供适当的照明量，并根据访客数量进行调整。
The idea of ‘tidal square’ is based on functional flexibility. An inviting place, which provides both intimately scaled and large scale spaces and has an ability of adapting to larger and smaller events. The idea is to reduce and increase space. An intimate space will be created when a wet floor and fountains reduce space and create a pool where children can play. During an event the space will be transformed when the water is removed and a large paved area is available for people to move from one place to another. A vibrant and an intimate space will be created, providing a 24h, a weekly and a seasonal rhythm. The nightscape supports this and will be both safe and interesting. Dynamic lighting and an energy efficient system provides the right amount of light during evening and night, adjusted to the amount of visitors.

在该区域内，构造景观提供了不同层次的便捷通道。卡蒂萨克花园将通过优化卡蒂萨克周围复杂的城市广场与格林威治教堂街和威廉国王大道入口之间的关系，更好地与其城市环境相连接。泰晤士河沿线的自行车和步行路线以及与皇家海军学院的更好连接将改善其他方面的交通。新的充满活力的正面将改变卡蒂萨克花园和城市组织的关系。活跃的临街从根本上改变了城市空间的活力。秋葵建议建筑，这有助于城市组织和卡蒂萨克花园的无缝连接。西侧的缓坡为商业活动和绿色屋顶下的信息亭提供了潜力。在构建南方时，将以更具表现力的方式提供城市解决方案。建筑环境将城市呈现在广场上，另一方面为广场创造正面，为船只创造背景。
Within the area a tectonic landscape provides easy access on different levels. Cutty Sark Gardens will be better connected to its urban environment by an optimized relationship between the sophisticated urban square around Cutty Sark and entrances at Greenwich Church Street and King William Walk. A cyclist and pedestrian route along the river Thames and a better connection to the Royal Naval College will improve access on the other sides. New vibrant facades will change the relationship of Cutty Sark Gardens and the urban tissue. Active frontages change the vitality of urban space radically. OKRA suggests architecture, which contributes to a seamless connection of the urban tissue and Cutty Sark Gardens. A gently inclining slope on the west side offers potential for commercial activities and kiosks under a green roof. In structuring the south an urban solution will be provided in a more expressive way. The built environment presents the city to the square and on the other hand creates a facade for the square and a background for the ship.

Present and future

新的“潮汐广场”将容纳城市生活，创造与花园和公园理念相关的绿色景观。未来，卡蒂萨克花园将成为泰晤士河沿岸和格林威治山脚隧道另一边的一个突出区域：工业遗产的广阔视野，通往皇家海军学院绿地的绿色步行的潜力。这将是一个留恋的地方，一个渴望的地方。
The new ‘tidal square’ will accommodate urban life and create green scenery that is associated with the idea of gardens and parks. In the future Cutty Sark Gardens will be a prominent area along the river Thames and to the other side by the Greenwich foot tunnel: wide views to the industrial heritage, potential of a green walk towards the Royal Naval College Green. It will be a place to linger and a place of desire.
