本项目的设计任务是在江阴体育馆东侧建设一条连接黄山与天华文体中心的城市景观绿轴，增添城市活力。

The client asked for a picturesque park alongside their stadium. They received a new city centre axis linking the city to the genius-loci.

1.BAU于本项目的核心设计理念-将2.6公里的狭长地块打造成具有视觉震撼力的城市风景线，北起黄山与景观湖，穿跃市中心，南至长江。功能上除了设置连续的人行步道外，交织融入运动休闲设施及不同尺度的公共空间。

1. BAU’s core idea was identifying a potential 2.6km long north-south axis that linked the lake and mountain in the north to the city centre and river to the south. For this visual and physical axis to assert itself clearly within the urban fabric it needed continuous pedestrian access; passive and active pedestrian programs; various scales of public spaces; and provide a variety of vantage points.

2.设计上交织两条流线，一条发展成为凌空城市观光轴线，另一条是将间断的地面线型公园连接，整合零星分散于基地周边的公共空间。

2. The project has been conceived as two threads of circulation. One exploring the urban axis, the other exploring the local linear park.

What could have been just another dis-connected link in a broken chain of open space has become a major urban intervention.

3.在江阴的城市设计中，偏重于机动车交通网络，却忽略了市民生活的宜居感受。大型体育馆的设计割裂了新城中心与北侧美丽的湖光山色。BAU在设计竞赛中大胆地提出了城市客厅-廊桥景观的概念方案，从长江北侧的文化中心沿廊桥漫步，一路观赏新城商业中心、体育馆及周边建筑直到黄山，桥身以球体的运动曲线上下起伏左右蜿蜒塑造城市观光轴线，与地面通过多处斜坡与楼梯连接，成为到达商业街、体育馆、公共绿地及城市开放空间的通道。

3. The City is well engineered for cars but poorly designed for life.

A competition was held for a sports stadium. The stadium disconnects the new city centre from the adjacent mountain and lakeside. BAU’s competition proposal included a clearly elaborated green axis extending from a mountain and lakeside district, via the stadium site, existing culture plaza, and intersection park, terminating at a river 2.6km to the south. The design interfaces with the stadium and retail district through legible circulation short cuts connecting to these facilities. The arbour park’s city street frontages contain plazas with active commercial edges. Zig-zag pedestrian ramps with arbours create lush pocket parks with vertical enclosing form.

4.廊桥同时融入了各种生态环保设计。弧形的桥体上覆盖了葡萄等爬藤植物。桥上桥下功能性建筑均在设计上通过被动式日照控制和良好的通风满足且超越了绿色环保建筑的规范要求，桥上可漫步、观光，置身于爬藤的郁郁葱葱之中，步移景异；桥下一系列公共空间中设置了适合不同年龄阶层的健身活动设施。

4. The arbour is both eco corridor and productive landscape (grapes). All buildings go beyond the environmental code by utilizing passive solar control, natural lighting and cross ventilation. Social sustainability is addressed through public space and the provision of activities for all generations. Health benefits are achieved by the sports programs and the encouragement of walking and riding.

5.卓越的设计宗旨：

-造福市民

-连续的人行步道

-充满个性的城市空间

-城市居民走进自然

-生趣盎然的健身空间

-城市回归自然

-有效节能的城市慢行系统

5. Specific principles for this project are:

– parks are for everyone;

– pedestrian paths should be continuous;

– urban spaces must have identities;

– urban dwellers should connect to nature;

– urban dwellers must exercise;

– cities must accommodate nature;

– city transportation must focus on efficient and sustainable modes.

城市绿轴 Promenade

这条多功能的城市绿轴自身已成为江阴的一道亮丽风景线，吸引了游客、居民，也带动了周边的商业和办公。

This project forms part of a 2.6km axis which connects Jiangyin’s new CBD with significant topography. This successful axis has become a destination in itself, an attractor to users from both the CBD and beyond.

天桥绿廊 Arbour

钢制的廊架上紫藤、葡萄藤等植物自由生长，夏日里遮阳避雨，冬日里阳光温柔洒落，行人仿佛置身于类似教堂建筑的穹顶之下。

In this climate, high levels of pedestrian amenity is fundamental to the design of this project. So an arbour of steel, wisteria and grape vines, provides summer shade; protection from winter winds and rain; and a cathedral-like spatial experience.

休闲设施 Leisure

地面流线上设置了各类老少皆宜的运动休闲项目，例如：篮球场、儿童游乐场、茶室、餐厅、滚轴溜冰公园、公共绿地、以及开放广场等，提升了城市居民的休闲生活品质。

Places of intense leisure activity have an increasingly important role to play in a Chinese city’s social well-being. The proposed axial promenade provides programs for all ages: basketball court, an adventure playground, tea-houses and restaurants, roller skating park, open lawns, and public plazas.

廊桥 Bridges

连续并且三维的廊桥使绿轴具有高度的辨识性，在城市主干道一侧架起一个充满动感和活力的标志性建筑，为新城增添个性和吸引力。

Two bridges give continuity and three-dimensional legibility to the axis, while providing landmarks along major city vehicle routes, reinforcing the importance of the axis in the emerging identity of the CBD.

生态及社会可持续发展 Sustainability

BAU打造的这一条城市绿廊成为了城市客厅，鼓励市民走出家门，以步行或自行车代替机动车。往南可观赏江景，往北步入黄山，沿途可茶歇、购物、体锻，参与各种商业及社区活动。在原来因城市开发而消失的农田绿地上种植了多种植物，将黄山森林公园的绿色延续到城市中心。采摘葡萄已成为了江阴城市居民闲暇之余的热门户外活动。一家老少可以在这个美丽的城市客厅找到各自不同的需求。老人们闲坐茶聚，孩子们在游乐园嬉笑玩耍，青少年体验极限运动的刺激，大草坪上大大小小踢足球、放风筝、晒太阳，城市生活和谐美好。

BAU initiated the Jiangyin new city centre axis to encourage the new population to socialize, exercise, visit the mountain park, and to bring nature back into the city. The Arbour Park is both eco corridor and productive landscape. It is both destination and route. It is both a place to socialize and a place to connect with nature. It rewards pedestrians and cyclists, not motorists. The site was previously cleared farmland. This project re-established trees planting and connects the forested mountain environment’s flora and fauna with the city and the river parkland within it.

Jiangyin suffers from extremely hot summers and cool winters. The arbor is planted with deciduous climbing Wisteria and Grape Vines to make the promenade bearable in summer. The grapes have proved to be popular with locals; picking grapes with all manner of implements has become a new urban recreation.

The Arbour Park uses land efficiently. It is narrow but the intensity and complexity of activity, amenity, planting, circulation, shade and rain shelter enables it to do the work of much larger parks. Beneath and above the elevated walkways are pavilions with services, restroom amenities, retail outlets, restaurants, cafes and tea houses. These pavilions each go beyond the environmental code and utilise passive solar control, natural lighting and cross ventilation.

Paradoxically, increasing affluence and urbanization in China are leading to the disappearance of opportunities for social and cultural gathering. Consequently, places of intense leisure activity have an increasingly important role to play in a city’s social and cultural well-being. The proposed axial promenade provides space for active and passive programs for all ages: basketball court, adventure playground (largest in the city, tea-houses and restaurants, roller skating park, open lawns, and public plazas.
