澳大利亚悉尼渥石湾地区的重新发展——城市尺度的适应性再利用

WALSH BAY REDEVELOPMENT, SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA: ADAPTIVE REUSE AT URBAN SCALE

澳大利亚悉尼市渥石湾地区的重新发展项目始自1994年,目前处于最终完成阶段,其在城市规模上对历史文脉进行了更新再利用,展示了丰富而激动人心的潜在可能性。曾经作为悉尼港口设施的关键组成部分,渥石湾及其附属关栈保税仓库位于悉尼湾以西的沙岩岬尖端。其功能随着1970年代沿海地区集装箱运输与大型机械化的日益盛行而衰落。然而,由于州政府的倡导与公众的密切关注,一家大型开发财团保留了该地域。项目面对的最大挑战是概念性和纲领性的,即如何将人体尺度与赋有人情味的使用引入失去原有功能的硬线条工业建筑。为应对这一挑战,渥石湾项目在城市的规模与尺度上应用了更新再利用的原则,采取了对历史肌理的保护与策略性的拆除及重建合并进行的大胆举措,从而全面释放了基地的发展潜力。以深思熟虑的设计手法调和这些改变的规模与性质,其制定了精确的现代主义语言,与原始工业建筑浓烈而赋于力量的形式与材料形成对照。最终成就了一片充满着新与旧之间创造性张力的城市领地。

The walsh Bay redevelopment project in Sydney. Australia inmated in 1994 and now in final stages of completion,demonstrates the dramatic possibilifies of adaptive reuse of historic structures at an urban scale.Formerly a key component of Sydney＇s port facilities,theWalsh Bay wharves and associated bond stores-located at the tip of a sandstone headland just west of Sydney Cove-became obsolete in the 1970s and were slated for demolition.However,as a result of State government initiatives and significant public concern,a major develppment consortium has conserve the precinct.The principal challenge of the Walsh Bay project has been conceptual and programmatic-how to introduce human scale and human use to tough industrial structures stripped of their original function.In responding to this challenge,the project has applied principles of adaptive reuse at the scale of a waterfront precinct,combining conservation of historic fabric with strategic demolition and reconstruction in a series of bold moves,which have unlocked the development potential of the sife.The scale and nature of these changes have been tempered by a considered design opproach,which has set the precise language of modernism against the robust forms and materials of the industrial buildings.The result is an urban precinct charged with creative tension between the old and the new.
