在当地社区团体的参与和支持下，Tongva公园与Ken Genser广场成功地在Santa Monica市中心创造出一片现代简洁、可持续而又具有改革意义的城市景观。在Palisades公园，Santa Monica码头与Santa Monica市政府间创造了新的联系。

Shaped by extensive community participation, the design of Tongva Park and Ken Genser Square creates a contemporary, sustainable, and transformative urban landscape that redefines the center of Santa Monica and makes new connections between Palisades Park, the Santa Monica Pier, and Santa Monica Civic Center.

这片位于Santa Monica市中心的公园广场由来自纽约，以高线公园名扬天下的James Corner Field Operations设计完成。James Corner认为本项目“为Santa Monica创造了一个新的心脏，不仅成为人们日常生活中最受欢迎的目的地，也同时实现了社会、生态和城市的象征意义。”

此外，他还说：“我们创造了一片起伏错落的丰富地形，大量本土植被的运用以及随处可见的户外家具、水景、游乐设施和活动区带来了一个极富吸引力的公园空间。我十分享受这个与Santa Monica居民合作，联手打造这样一个让人眼前一亮的场所的过程。”

Designed by James Corner Field Operations, best known for its design of New York’s High Line, the park and square are a centerpiece for Santa Monica’s Civic Center. James Corner describes the project as “creating a new heart for Santa Monica—a new destination and gathering place of great social, ecological, and symbolic value.” He says, “We have sculpted a dramatic topography of hills and hollows and incorporated a very large number of native plant species to create a spectacular horticultural garden, replete with generous furnishing, water fountains, play elements, and activity areas. It has been an absolute pleasure to work with the people of Santa Monica to create a place together that feels so fresh and dynamic.”

这片场地上曾经布满了纵横的沟壑，而景观设计也受到这种南加州特有的景观元素的启发。一系列如同姑娘辫子般的路径从市政府门前向着西侧的海洋大道延伸，一点点的将公园空间和城市肌理串联起来。起伏错落的地形增强了道路系统的流动感，也以主题鲜明的四座“山丘”，将公园划分为了功能与空间感受各不相同的四个片区：

花园山丘由一系列的内凹座椅区以及私密性的花园空间组成，来自南加州本土的植被将随着四节的变迁而变换着样貌，展现出丰富的季相变化。

探索山丘是专属于儿童的玩乐天地，滑梯、音乐墙、游戏设施、水景和小城堡在成荫的茂盛绿树中若隐若现，激发着孩子们探索、游戏的兴致。

瞭望山丘高达18英尺，由小桥串联起的瞭望台是眺望美丽海景和相邻街区的最佳地点，而公共卫生间则巧妙地隐藏在山丘的下方。

聚会山丘拥有一个被阶梯状座椅区环绕的巨大多功能草坪，以及野餐区，是三五好友聚会、放松的不二之选。

Ken Genser广场为公民集会提供了新的空间，同时也让市政府标志性建筑的空间序列更为完整。

▼ 总平面图，site plan

Inspired by the Southern California arroyo landscape of washes and ravines that once defined the site, a series of braided pathways appear to organically emerge from the footsteps of City Hall, extend west to Ocean Avenue, and weave the park into the fabric of the City.

Dramatic rising and falling topography reinforces the fluid pathway system and organizes the site into four thematic hilltop areas, each calibrated to a different primary use and experience:

- Garden Hill is defined by a series of seating alcoves and intimate display gardens that showcase a seasonally dynamic, native, and appropriately adapted Southern California plant palette; - Discovery Hill is a play space for children, offering a range of discovery experiences and settings with hill slides, a music wall, play elements, water feature, and forts embedded into a lush and shaded landscape; - Observation Hill reaches a height of 18 feet, offers the best views of the ocean and neighboring vicinity, and includes overlooks, a bridge, and public restroom tucked under the hill; - Gathering Hill provides open space for congregation and relaxation including a large multi-purpose lawn, seating terraces, and an informal picnic area;

Ken Genser Square provides new space for civic gathering and complements the City Hall landmark building.

Garden Hill

▼ 水景元素被一条忽隐忽现的“河流”串联起来，从山脚流向大海，如同真正的河流一般，越来越宽。水景元素被一条忽隐忽现的“河流”串联起来，从山脚流向大海，如同真正的河流一般，越来越宽。

Water elements are poetically linked by a single runnel that flows downhill to the ocean. Their volume and presence increases the closer they are to the ocean.

▼ 蜿蜒的曲线划过山丘，形成了一个个如同海湾般的内凹空间，供人们沉思冥想。

无论是富有建筑感的错落空间，肌理丰富的岩石与卵石材料，还是繁茂生长的草甸与花园都仿佛在呼应着基地被纵横交错的沟壑所占领的过往，但同时也为Santa Monica创造了一个让人眼前一亮，独特而极富创造力的标志性场所。

Architectural features, a texturally rich material palette of boulders and pebbles, and lushly planted meadows and gardens reinforce the site’s “arroyo wash” history, while at the same time, creating an exciting new identity that is unique to Santa Monica.

可持续性

Tongya公园和Ken Genser广场创造了一种全新的城市景观，它们自然，节约资源，并且充满活力。公园的可持续性不仅体现在生态，水，能源和材料上，还增强了社会的活力，提升了人们的健康水平和生活质量。

生态 基地本来是一个普通的停车场，改造后的这里焕然一新，草地和花园延绵起伏，其生态系统得到了很好的恢复。园内种植了大量植物，包括超过300棵精心挑选的树木和上千种新植被。除此之外，Tongya公园和Ken Genser广场中还有数百种不同的加利福尼亚本地植物，成为了最早展现加州当地园林风采的大型当代城市景观之一。

水 园内的灌溉用水来自于附近的SMURRF地表径流再利用设施，山坡下的自然水渠可以收集再利用水资源，使得这里的每日水消耗量低于城市平均水平。水景用水均达到饮用标准，通过封闭的生态过滤系统净化，不会造成蒸发以外的流失。戏水区的水在经过收集处理后会根据需求用于海洋大道。

能源 照明为园内主要的能源消耗，通过使用LED灯具以及其他有效手段可以将照明能耗控制在最小。

材料 设计师重视项目中材料的可持续性，包括可持续森林内采伐的非热带硬木，回收材料制品，低挥发性涂料等，减少对环境的破坏。

健康 除了美丽的植被，这里还为人们提供了公共活动的场所，保证了项目的社会可持续性。不同年龄层的人们可以在这里散步，骑车或进行其他娱乐活动，享受更为健康的生活。

Sustainability

Tongva Park and Ken Genser Square embody a new type of urban landscape that is active, innovative, resource-conscious, and

Energy

Park lighting is the primary energy consumer within the park and square. Energy demands have been kept to an extreme minimum with LED and other efficient fixtures and technologies.

Materials

Materials for the Park and Square consist of non-tropical hardwoods that have been sustainably forested, local aggregates and stone, numerous products with recycled content, low VOC paints, sealants, and adhesives and soy-based anti-graffiti coatings.

Human Health

Apart from the physical aspects of the site, the social sustainability of the project is uniquely high. The Park and Square provides a range of social spaces, quiet contemplative spaces, and promotes human health through a series of walking trails and loops, bike parking areas, and inclusive play spaces for all ages and abilities.
