萨拉索塔市海湾公园丨乌拉圭佛罗里达

The Bay: “One Park for All” in Sarasota by Agency Landscape + Planning｜Agency Landscape + Planning

项目陈述

PROJECT STATEMENT

作为一项引人瞩目的首阶段成果，在前所未有且包容性的总体规划引领下，萨拉索塔市海湾公园成为该市首座标志性滨水公园。公园位于城市标志性的艺术大道与萨拉索塔湾交汇之地，生动诠释了 21 世纪可持续发展的核心理念，不仅作为通往水岸的标志性社区门户，更在其精心构筑中深刻展现了萨拉索塔独特的自然与文化底蕴。该公园占地 10 英亩，集活力四溢、不断演进的公共空间、区域步道及多元交通衔接于一体，同时营造出静谧悠然的自然沉浸空间，为市民与游客提供丰富多元的体验。

A compelling first phase following an unprecedented and inclusive master planning process, The Bay is the City of Sarasota’s first signature waterfront park. Located where the city’s iconic Boulevard of the Arts meets the Sarasota Bay, The Bay is a living demonstration of 21st century sustainability principles, a memorable community gateway to and on the water, and, in its craft, a loving reflection of Sarasota’s unique natural and cultural context. This 10-acre park brings together active, changing spaces for Sarasota’s diverse community, regional trail and mobility connections, and intimate places of deep nature immersion within the City.

项目说明

PROJECT NARRATIVE

萨拉索塔市海湾公园是该市首座地标性滨水公园，也是通往辽阔海湾的门户。作为一处充满活力且可持续的社区聚集地，该公园树立了环境管理的典范，成功实现了社区驱动的愿景，并精心展现了萨拉索塔市丰富的自然与文化底蕴。如今，海湾公园已成为承载城市记忆的重要地标，并将惠及未来世代。

绿蓝交融的生态绿洲

海湾公园的每一处设计均充分考量生态环境与可持续性原则。设计团队将原本毫无渗透性的停车场改造为一片生机盎然的生态绿洲。前期调查与数据分析建立了基准指标，以评估改造成效，并据此制定并超越了环境改善目标。

落成后的公园在多个场地系统上实现了创新突破。雨水花园、脱氮沟渠及大型基础设施协同运作，不仅能够就地收集、储存并净化雨水，还能共同处理每年流经该场地的7,000万加仑的外部雨水径流。设计团队在施工过程中保护、迁移或优化了数十棵大型树木，以延续场地生态肌理并增强场所感，同时广泛种植本土植物并实施生态修复，进一步扩大环境效益。

社区共建的公共空间

公园的规划与设计深度融合了“社区共建”理念，并在各个阶段广泛征询公众意见，以确保公园充分回应当地居民的需求、愿景与目标。在公共设计过程中，团队通过成千上万次的社区互动，与多个专题小组及当地专家紧密合作，收集反馈意见，确保不同群体的多元化生活体验得以呈现。

为满足广泛的使用需求，公园设计提供了一系列兼具灵活性与固定功能的空间框架，包括红树林步道、遮荫装置、餐饮服务亭、大型活动及演出草坪、充满趣味性的沙滩与生态海岸线、雕塑式游乐设施，以及可以营造亲密社区氛围的演出绿地。多模式步道系统不仅提供探索与冒险的乐趣，同时引导访客深入静谧的自然空间，享受沉浸式的生态体验。

独具萨拉索塔特色的设计

海湾公园在材料选择、工艺打造及整体氛围上，充分展现了萨拉索塔独特的自然与文化特色。作为一个热带滨海城市，萨拉索塔不仅因为深厚的现代主义建筑遗产而闻名，还拥有郁郁葱葱的植被、光滑的预制混凝土与质朴的砂质贝壳地面形成的对比美感，以及为适应沿海高温环境而形成的精致坚韧的建筑风格。公园所在地提供了绝佳的观景点，让人们能够欣赏萨拉索塔最具代表性的自然景观——绚丽壮观的日落天际线。

该项目采用富有萨拉索塔地方特色的材料，包括雕刻过的木甲板、优雅的预制混凝土构件、富有自然气息的压碎珊瑚石地面，以及用于生态边缘塑造的鱼卵状石灰石和雕塑感十足的金属结构。其中，独特的红树林步道采用橡胶化表面，不仅与天然石材和沙质元素相呼应，营造温暖自然的氛围，同时也构成了一条适用于各类人群的标志性健身步道。

PROJECT NARRATIVE

The Bay is the City of Sarasota’s first signature waterfront park and a gateway to its expansive bay. Conceived as an active, sustainable gathering place for Sarasota’s diverse community, the park is a model of environmental stewardship, a highly-anticipated realization of a community-driven vision, and a well-crafted expression of Sarasota’s heritage. The Bay is a legacy destination now, and for many generations to come.

A Green and Blue Oasis

Every feature of The Bay is designed with a sensitivity to environmental processes and sustainability. The design team transformed the pre-construction condition, a relentlessly impervious parking lot, into an ecological oasis. Early inventory and analysis determined baseline metrics against which improvements could be measured and impact goals established and exceeded.

The realized design delivers innovation across various site systems. Not only do the rain gardens, denitrification trenches, and large-scale infrastructure, alike, capture, hold, and treat water locally, but they also work together to treat over 70 million gallons of stormwater that passes through this site annually from off-site. The team protected, moved or otherwise enhanced dozens of large trees in the work, providing continuity and nourishing a sense of place; extensive native plantings and ecological restoration expand their impact.

A Community-Driven Place

To meet a wide array of needs, the park design provides a framework of spaces – some flexible, while some more fixed in program offerings. These include a recreational mangrove walk, a shade structure and concessions pavilion, a large-scale events and performance lawn, a playful beach and living shoreline, a sculptural play structure, and an intimate performance green that creates a sense of community. Multi-modal paths allow for discovery and adventure while introducing visitors to more intimate, nature-immersed places of respite.

Uniquely Sarasota

The Bay is designed in material expression, craft, and “vibe” to reflect the unique natural and cultural character of Sarasota. A tropical beachfront community with a rich history of Modernist architecture, Sarasota is characterized by lush vegetation; a lovely contrast of sleek precast concrete and sandy, shelly surfaces; and a refined ruggedness appropriate for an overheated, coastal environment. The site provides access to one of Sarasota’s most iconic experiences – the viewing of the fantastical and explosive sky at sunset.

The project leans into a Sarasota-driven palette that includes etched wood decking, elegant precast elements, a casual crushed coquina surface, oolite elements on nature-engaged edges, and sculptural metal structures. The project’s unique Mangrove Walk is made of a rubberized surface, bringing a warmth that resonates with natural stone and sand elements while also providing a signature fitness circuit for a wide range of people.
