PROJECT NARRATIVE

UNIT.City：从工业用地到创新城区的转型

引言：工业遗址上的新城市空间

UNIT.City为一处旧工业用地重新注入活力，使其转型为乌克兰的首个创新城区，在这里，教育、工作与公共生活相互交织。项目通过重新向公众开放曾经受限的场地，为适应性城市发展与可持续城市营造提供了示范。景观设计作为转型的核心驱动力，提升了步行连通性、城市韧性与整体空间体验，塑造出一个可应对气候变化的公共环境。

背景与城市挑战

对60英亩原工业制造基地的更新，回应了三项核心城市议题：场地再融入：将曾经孤立的工业区重新连接至基辅不断演变的城市肌理；工业遗产的延续：在尊重历史脉络的基础上，转化其价值，构建面向未来的创新生态系统；塑造具备气候韧性的公共领域：打造行人优先、包容开放的空间，促进社会、教育与经济活动的发生。

这种工业遗产与创新精神之间的平衡，共同定义了该片区独特的城市身份。

城市框架：核心公共空间体系

一套连续的公共空间网络确保了城市整合与步行连通性：活动广场：可灵活使用的市民空间，满足日常活动与大型公共事件；步行街道：连接居住、商业与教育功能的慢行网络；教育中心：面向学习、协作与研究的开放式校园空间；校园与雨水花园：将生态教育与可持续雨洪管理融入日常环境。

这些空间不仅承担着功能角色，还能够激活社区生活、强化生态网络，构建富有韧性的城市结构。

设计原则与整合策略

UNIT.City的设计遵循三项核心城市策略：以行人为先的空间组织：共享空间优先服务人，而非车辆；灵活的景观系统：多功能空间支持工作、休闲与社交活动；材料语言的表达：耐候钢、混凝土与木材回应工业历史，同时塑造当代城市形象。

在UNIT.City中，景观并非附属元素，而是塑造城市空间的关键力量。

生态韧性：适应气候的景观体系

该项目通过基于自然的解决方案提升了环境功效：缓冲型景观带：缓解热压力、降低噪声并改善微气候；雨水花园：在管理雨洪的同时提升生物多样性；多样化植物配置：降低维护成本并改善空气质量。

这些策略共同提升了城市的生态韧性与宜居性。

社会激活与公共生活

UNIT.City构建了充满活力的公共领域，营造引人参与的城市体验：文化活动策划：节庆、音乐会与公共表演；户外与学习空间：在灵活环境中促进交流与合作；无障碍设计：包容性的空间体系，欢迎所有使用者。

通过以人为本的设计理念，项目确保了公共空间的持续活力与高度连通性。

结语：创新与城市转型的示范

UNIT.City为后工业用地的再开发树立了新标杆，它展现了城市更新如何驱动创新与经济增长、高质量公共空间如何增强城市连接性与社会参与，以及可持续景观如何提升气候韧性与城市宜居性。

UNIT.City证明了以景观引导的城市主义能够将后工业地区转化为充满活力、具备韧性、面向未来的城市片区。

PROJECT NARRATIVE

UNIT.City: Transforming an Industrial Zone into an Innovation District

Introduction: A New Urban Space on a Former Industrial Site

UNIT.City reclaims a former industrial site, transforming it into Ukraine’s first innovation district where education, work, and public life intersect. By reopening a once - restricted area, the project sets a precedent for adaptive urbanism and sustainable city - making. Landscape design anchors the transformation, enhancing pedestrian connectivity, resilience, and urban experience, shaping a climate - adaptive public space.

Context & Urban Challenges

The transformation of the former 60 - acre manufacturing site addresses three core urban challenges: Reintegrating the site – reconnecting the once - isolated industrial zone with Kyiv’s evolving urban fabric. Honoring industrial heritage – adapting its legacy to create a future - proofed innovation ecosystem. Shaping a climate - resilient public realm – designing inclusive, pedestrian - first spaces that foster social, educational, and economic interactions. This balance between industrial heritage and innovation defines the district’s unique identity.

Urban Framework: Key Public Spaces

A network of public spaces ensures seamless urban integration and pedestrian connectivity: Event Plaza – a flexible civic space for daily activities and large - scale events Pedestrian Streets – walkable streets linking residential, commercial, and educational areas Education Hub – an open campus designed for learning, collaboration, and research School & Rain Gardens – integrating ecological learning and sustainable water management. More than just functional areas, these spaces activate community life, strengthen ecological networks, and foster a resilient urban fabric.

Design Principles & Integration

UNIT.City follows three key urban strategies: Pedestrian - first design – shared spaces prioritizing people over cars Flexible landscapes – multifunctional spaces fostering work, recreation, and interaction Material identity – corten steel, concrete, and wood reflect the industrial past while shaping a contemporary district. Landscape is not an afterthought — it is the defining element of UNIT.City.

Ecological Resilience: A Climate - Adaptive Landscape

UNIT.City integrates nature - based solutions to improve environmental performance:

Buffer landscapes – mitigating heat stress, reducing noise, and improving microclimate conditions Rain gardens – managing stormwater while increasing biodiversity Diverse plantings – reducing maintenance needs and improving air quality. These strategies improve urban resilience and livability.

Social Activation & Public Life

UNIT.City fosters a dynamic public realm, ensuring an engaging urban experience: Cultural programming – festivals, concerts, and performances Outdoor & learning spaces – fostering collaboration in flexible settings Universal accessibility – inclusive design that welcomes all users. By prioritizing human - centered design, the project ensures a thriving, connected public space.

Conclusion: A Model for Innovation & Urban Transformation

UNIT.City sets a new benchmark for post - industrial redevelopment, demonstrating how: Urban renewal drives innovation and economic growth Public space fosters connectivity and engagement Sustainable landscapes enhance climate resilience and urban livability

UNIT.City sets a benchmark for how landscape - driven urbanism can transform post - industrial areas into thriving, resilient, and future - ready cities.
