蒙特利尔港塔楼是由 Provencher_Roy 事务所设计打造的，这是由一座破败的基础设施综合体改造而成的非凡公共景观，如同皇冠上的宝石那样耀眼。该项目自 2013 年开始，于近期完成了建筑与景观一体化的成果。港口旧址地标高约 65 米，其位置俯瞰城市和河流的美丽景色。这个地标就像一座灯塔，作为抵港和出海的游客的视觉标识。对于蒙特利尔人来说，它也充当了老城的步行区、码头以及大型公共广场。

The Port of Montréal Tower, designed by Provencher_Roy, is the jewel in the crown of the dramatic transformation of a crumbling infrastructure complex into an exceptional public landscape. Begun in 2013, the fruit of integrated design combines architecture and landscape. Rising 65 metres high, this new icon of the Old Port offers a spectacular view of the city and the river. Like a lighthouse, it acts as a visual landmark for visitors arriving by boat and signals the entrance to the Port. For Montréalers, it marks the presence of the quay and a large public square from the pedestrian zones of Old Montréal.

作为一位蒙特利尔人，我们时常忘记自己是生活在一座岛屿上。本设计是一个庆祝当地两个标志性地点——Saint-Lawrence 河和皇家山脉的绝佳机会。”事务所合伙人、首席设计师、项目负责人 Sonia Gagné 说到。

We tend to forget, as Montréalers, that we live on an island. We had a fantastic opportunity to create a place that celebrates our two natural icons: the majestic Saint-Lawrence River and Mount Royal,” explains Sonia Gagné, Architect, Principal Partner and Lead Designer.

设计者大胆地打造了一个悬臂体量，使 Grand Quai 成为新地标。高塔下方是一条新建的高架长廊，这条廊道将城市与滨海区重新连接起来，滨水步道也被重新设计，在这个旧港口打造了一个独特的城市聚集地。蒙特利尔港高塔是当地最高的建筑之一，即是码头的标志物，也为行人和抵港游客提供了新的公共空间。设计者将其打造为一个引导游客的视觉参考点，作为滨海大道、游轮码头和码头尽头的公共空间之间的过渡：一个新的起点。

With its daring cantilevers, the 65-metre tall tower heralds the Grand Quai as a signature destination in Montréal for tourists and Montréalers alike. It overlooks a new elevated promenade that reconnects the city to its waterfront, anchors a redeveloped riverwalk, and creates a unique urban gathering place in the Old Port. One of the tallest structures in the area, the Tower signals the quay and a new public space for pedestrians and visitors arriving by cruise ship. It orients visitors and creates a visual point of reference that transitions between the raised esplanade, cruise terminal, and new public space at the tip of the quay which slopes down to the river: the Place des commencements.

“我们希望通过打造优质的公共空间、塔楼、通向海边的通道以及公共空间，来吸引人们抵达码头的尽头。”Sonia Gagné 解释道。

We wanted to make a statement to attract Montréalers to the end of the pier thanks to quality public spaces, beautiful views from the Tower, access to the river, and a space for citizens,” explains Sonia Gagné.

除了有着独特的轮廓外，在悬臂结构处还有着 360 度的视野。游客能够从悬臂顶端看到城市中各个方向的地标建筑，包括 Habitat 67、Silo No.5、Basilique Notre-Dame、Saint Lawrence 河和皇家山脉。观景台位于塔身的 55 米处，游客抵达后可以在这里体验令人难忘的蒙特利尔接受。观景台的设计灵活，还可作为高级活动空间和接待厅。

Beyond lending the building its distinctive silhouette, the cantilever also opens up 360-degree views. From the top, visitors can see landmarks in all directions, including Habitat 67, Silo No.5, Basilique Notre-Dame, the Saint Lawrence River, and Mount Royal. An observation deck set 55 metres above the quay commands sweeping vistas over the city and river, offering visitors arriving by cruise ship an unforgettable introduction to Montréal. The observation deck is designed to be flexibly programmed and can double as a premier event space and reception hall.

塔中安装了一个雕塑般的旋转楼梯，观景台像是一个悬挂在外墙上的宝石般的玻璃盒子，楼梯被金色的栏杆围绕着，从外侧看闪闪发光。这种楼梯形式让人联想到 19 世纪蒙特利尔建筑的外部楼梯组成的街景。随着塔的高度不断上升，雕塑般金色的楼梯还能够让人想到小麦的麦穗，小麦是该港口全盛时期主要出口的产品。

A sculptural helicoid staircase rises from the observation deck to the belvedere, 10-metres higher, which is a jewel-like glass chamber cantilevered off the façade where visitors can step out over the water and into the spectacular view. Wrapped in gold-coloured balustrades, the staircase shines through the façade and can be seen from the surrounding city. Its form recalls the 19th-century exterior stairways that define Montréal’s streetscape. Unfurling as it rises, the sculptural gold staircase evokes the crowns of the wheat plants, the port’s main export during its heyday.

这座高塔还代表了当地丰富的工业遗产，这里在成为游轮码头之前，曾是四个巨大小麦储藏库的所在地。塔身的比例源自低矮的港口建筑，设计者将其长宽颠倒，形成了一个类似谷物升降机的形式。框架方面选择了钢结构和混凝土结构，核心筒外侧安装了玻璃幕墙，向曾经的工业港口致敬。核心筒和结构框架为塔楼的立面增添了独特的深度。

The tower’s design evokes the site’s rich industrial heritage, originally home to four giant wheat-storing hangars before becoming a cruise terminal. It takes its proportions from the low-slung port buildings but stands them on end, creating a form that resembles a grain elevator. The steel structure, as well as the structural concrete frame and core, read through the glazed façade, paying homage to the monumental industrial forms that once defined the port. Together, the core and frame add a distinctive sense of depth to the tower’s elevation.

“我们希望塔楼的结构变得可视，这样能够展示当地的工业遗产。码头附近还矗立着 Tour des Convoyeurs，曾有几代人在哪里装卸船上的谷物——塔楼的设计就是对其形象的转译。”Sonia Gagné 补充说道。

We chose to let the Tower’s structure be visible behind a curtain wall to celebrate the site’s industrial heritage. Adjacent to the pier stands the Tour des Convoyeurs, which was used to unload grain from ships generations ago – it’s a reference to it,” adds Sonia Gagné.

Grand Quai 重建背景

Grand Quai redevelopment background

蒙特利尔的亚历山德码头始建于 1899 年，后成为全世界最繁忙的谷物出口中心之一。占据码头大部分面积的四个大型仓库再后来被改造为供游轮停靠的海运码头，码头本身也被改造为汽车交通枢纽。这些干预手段阻隔了城市与海滨之间的联系，使这座码头成为了令人望而却步的基础设施。随着时间的推移，尽管政府投入了大量的人力物力进行维修，这片建筑群仍然不断衰败，并进一步影响了城市的结构。Provencher_Roy 事务所赢得了由蒙特利尔港务局 2013 年发起的竞赛设计，该竞赛旨在对码头设施进行现代化的改造，以满足日益增长的游轮的停靠需求。设计者们对通往场地的人行道和车行道进行重新设计，使其能够面向游轮乘客开放。新的动线开放了滨海艺术中心的屋顶，车辆能够按照合理的交通模式进行行驶和停放，并且不会影响到行人。

Originally built in 1899, the Alexandra Pier in the Port of Montréal became one of the world’s busiest grain exporting hubs. The four large storage hangars which covered most of the pier’s surface were subsequently transformed into a maritime terminal for cruise ships and parking lots, the pier having been converted for automobile traffic. These transformations severed the city from its riverfront, turning the pier into a forbidding piece of infrastructure. Over time, and despite significant maintenance investments, the complex deteriorated, further disrupting the urban fabric. Provencher_Roy won the design competition launched by the Montréal Port Authority in 2013, which sought to modernize the terminal’s facilities to meet growing demand for cruise ship docking. The architects completely rethought pedestrian and vehicular access to the site; the terminal now welcomes cruise passengers at ground level. The new circulation pattern opens up the roof of the esplanade and rationalizes vehicle traffic patterns, allowing cars to park in the hangars without disrupting the pedestrian experience.

将码头改造为一个新的公共空间

The pier’s transformation into a new public space

景观设计方 NIPPAYSAGE 也参与了本项目的设计，他们重塑了码头的新景观，为行人提供了应有的空间：

Designed in collaboration with landscape architects’ NIPPAYSAGE, the newly landscaped pier gives pedestrians back their rightful place:

我们的设计策略是打造一处低调的景观，既保留当地工业遗产的重要性，同时为行人打造一个极具吸引力的空间。为了能够融入这里的工业环境，我们进行了大量的简洁处理手法。”NIPPAYSAGE 的创始人、合伙人兼景观设计师 Josée Labelle 说到。

“The strategy was to create an understated landscape that preserves the significance of the site’s exceptional industrial history, while creating an inviting new destination for pedestrians. Simple gestures were carried out on a grand scale in order to blend in with the industrial context,”explains Josée Labelle, Landscape Architect, Partner and Founding Member of NIPPAYSAGE.

NIPPAYSAGE 在翻新后的码头建筑屋顶处打造了一条景观步行道，使用了最先进的绿色屋顶技术，种植了 20000 多种植物，这些植物都通过了炎热、寒冷和大风等极端条件的研究测试。这条步道被命名为“Promenade d’Iberville”，人们可以通过一个人字形的巨大木质露台来到码头的尽头，露台上缀有来自当地的树木，包括魁北克枫树、榆树和可以制作船桅的白松树。这条步道完善了港口的公共空间路网，成为了重塑城市与 St. Lawrence 河之间联系的典范。

NIPPAYSAGE 在翻新后的渡轮码头屋顶上创建了一条景观步道，使用了前沿的绿色屋顶技术，并种植了超过 20,000 株植物，这些植物是通过对适应极端炎热、寒冷和大风条件的物种进行广泛研究后选择的。这条被称为 Promenade d’Iberville 的步道通过一个带有人字形图案的大型木制露台通向码头尽头的 Place des commencements，露台上点缀着本地树木，包括魁北克枫树、榆树和历史上用于制作船桅的白松。这条行人路线完善了旧港的公共空间网络，并以典范的方式重新建立了城市与圣劳伦斯河之间的联系。

“客户的要求是打造一个世界一流的游轮码头，我们认为我们可以做的更多，所以我们将曾经破旧的工业场地改造为了具有包容性的无障碍公共空间，为整个社区注入了活力，并提升了城市的生活品质。”Sonia Gagné 总结道。

Our client asked for a world-class cruise terminal, and we thought we should give them more than that. By transforming a once decrepit industrial site into inclusive and accessible public spaces, we’ve breathed new life into the whole community and enhanced the city’s quality of life,” concludes Sonia Gagné.
