摘要
美国俄勒冈州波特兰市的珍珠区原为威拉麦狄河边一片清泉滋润的湿地，坦纳河贯穿其中。这片土地最先发展为铁路战场和工业区，湿地也随之消失。在过去的30年中，一个年轻、综合、都市化且活力四射的新社区逐渐成形，如今的珍珠区已经发展成为了商业和居住区域。市区内的一片街区被改造成了一个崭新的城市公园，占地约3600平方米。公园内的降水汇入由喷泉和自然净化系统组成的天然水景区。
Formerly a wetland, the Pearl District was bisected by Tanner Creek and sided by the broad Willamette River. Rail yards and industry first claimed and drained the land. Over the past 30 years, a new neighborhood has progressively established itself--young, mixed, urban and dynamic. Today the Pearl District is home to families and businesses. With surgical artistry, the urban skin of one downtown block, 60x60 meters is peeled back to create a new city park. Stormwater runoff from the park block is fed into a natural water feature with a spring and natural cleansing system. The ＂Art Wall＂ recycles histodc rail tracks, oscillating in and out and inlaid with fused glass pieces handpainted with nature images by Herbert Dreiseitl. Ospreys dive into the water, art performances unfold on the floating deck, children splash and explore, and others take quiet contemplation in this natura refuge in the heart of the city. tense community participation and a stakeholder steering group mean that this park is th realisation of the dreams and hopes of local people.
