真正保证城市不被窒息的不是公园，而是大量的在我们周围流动的空气。

—雅各布斯 《美国大城市的生与死》

The cities are truly prevented from suffocation by lots of the flowing air around us, rather than park.

项目背景

Background

项目位于宜昌市西陵区云集路中段，为宜昌儿童公园南入口 30-60 米范围内的边界区域，与宜昌重要的城市形象桃花岭国宾酒店隔云集路相望。这样的一个项目，本身就具有多重身份：她既是云集路更新项目重要的开放空间口袋花园，也是宜昌儿童公园的南侧边界，更是桃花岭国宾酒店的重要对景界面。

The project, situated in the middle section of Yunji Road, Xiling District, Yichang City, borders on the south entrance of Yichang Children Park (within the scope of 30-60m) and faces the important Taohualing Ambassador Hotel which represents the city image of Yichang at the Yunji Road. This project is regarded as the important open space pocket garden of update project on Yunji Road. It borders on the south side of Yichang Children Park and faces the Taohualing Ambassador Hotel.

设计挑战

The Question

这样的多重身份，自然带来了多重的设计挑战：

Designers confront many challenges in design due to its multiple identities:

01. 如何开放边界？

How to open the boundary?

宜昌儿童公园始建于 1956 年，原名西陵公园，1986 年更名为儿童公园。作为上世纪建成的公园，天然有一道铁艺围墙方便当年的公园管理。拆墙透绿无疑是设计的当务之急，但如何开放，如何重新组织进入动线，并与内部动线有机结合，让内部空间的使用更加高效是必要考虑的问题。

Yichang Children Park was established in 1956, with the former name of Xiling Park, and was renamed as Children Park in 1986. As the park completed in the last century, it was installed with an iron fence to facilitate the park management at that time. It is undoubtedly urgent to dismantle the wall and reveal green in design. But it must be considered how to open the fence, reorganize to enter the motion line, achieve organize combination with internal motion line to make the internal space more efficient.

02. 如何保留大树？

How to reserve tall trees?

原场地有大量参天大树，枝叶扶苏浓荫蔽日，提供了极其完美的林荫空间。大树的空间点位、云集路自东山到长江的天然高差，带来了丰富的空间变化和地形高差。这些大树经历了半个世纪的风雨，记录了这个城市的悲欢离合，默默驻守于公园一隅，如今要以什么样的姿态融入市民的生活中？

There are lots of towering trees at the original site. The dense shade of branches and leaves ward off the sun, providing extremely perfect tree-lined space. The space points of trees and natural elevation difference of Yunji Road from Dongshan to Yangtze River brings abundant space variation and topographic elevation difference. These trees have been developed for half a century, recorded the vicissitudes of life of this city, and silently stood at a corner of the park. Nowadays, how do they blend in the life of the citizens?

03. 如何与城市脉络有机结合？

How to achieve an organic combination with urban context?

作为 1.5 公里段云集路唯一的大型开放空间，如何向市民体现云集路的现代、活力与时尚，如何与城市脉络融为一体，是其必须要考虑的问题。

It must be considered how to embody the modernity, vitality and fashion of Yuanji Road to citizens and integrate those trees into the urban context in such only large-area open space (1.5km section of Yunji Road).
