9、unitiesHaving arrived in New York City to launch my studio in 1970, I was appalled with the state of the “worlds greatest” citys waterfront; rotting piers and inaccessible post-industrial sites were severed from the city by ribbons of highway. Sound familiar？Countless cities across the globe have su

10、ffered a similar state of neglect. Recent public demand for waterfront accessibility, coupled with development pressure, has led to a rediscovery, rec tion and revitalisation movement. In some cases, with minimal regulations, environmental controls or public approvals, some government sponsored deve

11、lopment plans have brought about extraordinary waterfront parks see ly overnight. Other waterfronts, however, have moved at what seemed to be a glacial pace.After many failed attempts to redevelop an extraordinary 65-acre Manhattan rail yard site on the Hudson River, our team proposed a plan for Riv

12、erside Park South in which a 26-acre park would be the sites centerpiece. The park plan was approved in 1991 yet only had its first water edge phases completed in 2008! Unbelievably, a core element of the plan, the relocation of an elevated highway that visually divides the commu and upland park fro

13、m the river, is still mired in a bureaucratic morass and likely to be years away from completion. Across town, Brooklyn Bridge Park, first conceived nearly 20 years ago, only had its first phase completed in 2010. Its clear, designing waterfronts is not for the faint-hearted or impatient, but the pa

Signifying shared values and cultural ambition, waterfronts provide a unique lens by which the viewer, depending on their position, is able to see

15、across a see ly intimate expanse. Perhaps its the dialogue between oppositional environs, or simply the feeling of beinga great precipice constantly in motion, that brings a magical attraction to waterfronts. Whether its the offer of land or water, refuge or prospect, here or there; it stirs the emo

These aqueous edges create one-of-a-kind experiences, which in turn provide tran ions that can be both innate and otherworldly.As the waterfront movement has gained momentum, expectations have risen. Whereas 25 years ago, we might have been satisfied with simply staking a claim at the waters

The design of contemporary public landscapes requires both sensitivity to context and the abili

Indexing a site, and specifically the ways in which recreation, art, architecture, and culture interact with the natural world within both near and broader geographic contexts, allows one to create a new alchemy of spac

19、e.As plural environments, the design of waterfront parks requires a dynamic process involving collision and collaboration. This rich plurality presents the greatest opportu to form singular, large- scale transformations where landscape, infrastructure, and urbanism are woven into a unified whole. Mo

20、re than seams between city and water, these sites are metaphorical links between our past, present and future. In order to avoid monotony these linear landscapes most often require the definition of distinct zones that have the ability to treat individual areas like episodes in a narrative while pro

21、viding breathing room for the in-between. Encoded in these delightfully episodic waterfront systems are the collective ambitions of the local communities through which they pass as is evident in the design for the Promenade Samuel-de Champlain. Recounting the coastal environs and the local timber in

26、onts are fast becolarge scale sculptures that often appear as no more than one-liners, the question deserves asking; “Will these landscape sculptures have enough public input to be the truly democratic spaces that endure the test of time？” Having chaired the competition jury that selected HtO Park,

27、I offer an unequivocal “yes”. Urban waterfronts need not feel as if they are obligated to recreate a “Garden of Eden” detached from natural history; instead the new waterfront can design with nature, allowing natural processes to melded with cultural expressiveness, and remain relevant and accessibl

28、e while also preserving the transcendent quality of the open space. These expressive spaces draw crowds, add iconography to cities desperate for character, and capture the public imagination by remixing the familiar in new and unexpected ways. To sustain this success, contemporary designers have emb

Whereas many waterfronts were originally developed as industrial zones that drov

The fin ng of this transformation is also moving away from private or public entities into public/private partnerships where their motivations and end-goals are more varied than ever before. A complicated weave (and sometimes) of natural ecology, tourism, c

31、ulture, leisure, transport, security, and politics is taking hold and their boundaries are beco more obscure. Notions of global sustainability are manifesting themselves on the shores of every coast. The opportunities are infinite.Its clear from this books extraordinary curation of waterfronts of al

It is a place for fun in the sun, splashing in the surf or simply relaxing in the shade and watching the world go by. The design intent for Surfers

55、 Foreshore is to create a dynamic and vibrant public promenade beachfront experience that befits its iconic status.The site incorporates three distinct zones an urban plaza, urban beach and urban park. The urban plaza is the central area, consisting of a 20m wide pedestrian promenade and bikeway, wi

The beach volleyball courts include broad terraced beachfront spectator seating. The urban park zones incorporate grassed areas, large qu ties of existing retained trees, picnic tables, barbecues, beach shelters, beachfront markets and on street parking.A key principle of the overall design is about access to the beach it is what it is all about.
