缘起

Beginnings

项目位于浙江省杭州市拱墅区，是智慧网谷小镇核心的配套服务区，也是这座高新科技小镇中的绿洲。场地周边华为云创新中心、科技邻里中心、顺丰创新中心等多家互联网新经济龙头企业的摩天大楼鳞次栉比，无不昭示着这是一个现代产业之城、开放众创之谷。怎样的景观绿芯能成为驱动这只智慧巨兽的内核，是我们在设计中不断思考的问题。

Nestled in the Gongshu District of Hangzhou, Zhejiang, rows of skyscrapers meet the horizon above, an oasis on the previously arid plains… home to bleeding-edge internet “new economy” enterprises, from Huawei’s Cloud Innovation Center, Shunfeng’s Innovation Station, and local burgeoning Science and Technology development endeavors endless in scope. This is an open valley of innovation. These are limitless plains of prosperity. This is Intelligence Valley… a sprawling futurescape painstakingly designed with keeping its “green core” in mind at every turn – integrating nature while innovating decades to come.

播种 Planting the Seed 项目所在地的水田畈新石器时代遗址曾经是杭城早期先民生活过的地方，出土过数量众多的器具文物及古代生活用品，其中最引人注目的是一批稻谷等植物的种子。种子对于任何时期的人类来说都象征着生的希望，而此刻，由高新企业代表的智慧之种在这片腾腾的热土上悄悄播种下了希望。“种子”也就成为了设计始终围绕的理念之核。我们将这个理念具象化成一颗“智慧之种”，播撒在场地的正中心，表明这是一切开始的地方，而种子核心镂空二进制的“0”和“1”，同样是高新智慧启迪的本源。

Located on the Stone Age ancestral land of Hangzhou’s ancestral line, countless relics of ages gone have been unearthed from the depths of its soil throughout the years… most notably lots of seeds of every variety and size – tangible symbols of beginning that hold the secret to growth and change – the key to the hope of life. Once the literal beginning of growth for humankind and its survival, these tiny kernels of life now take on new forms… seeds of intelligence and innovation sown by high-tech enterprises, cultivating their “crops” – and new forms of hope – to heights never seen before. Thus, the “seed” takes its central role once again, as mankind seeks to grow – a “seed of wisdom” whose verdant forms are born from the hollow depths of binary 1’s and 0’s – beginnings which have only begun to touch the surface… origins of high-tech intelligence as limitless as the imagination of those who cultivate its roots.
