创建生态的城市栖息地-芝加哥北岛公园

CREATING AN ECOLOGICAL URBAN HABITAT AT NORTHERLY ISLAND IN CHICAGO

作为一项综合框架计划的组成部分之一,北岛公园项目将芝加哥湖畔的一处面积为37hm^2的人造半岛改造为一个生机勃勃的生态公园。项目设计充分体现了场地的人工性特质,通过地形改造和景观设计,吸引野生动物来此栖息——以随着时间的推移,在更宽广的范围内创造出一个拥有丰富生物多样性的生态系统。这里有着各种各样的栖息地和特色建筑,为人们提供了多种在城市中亲近自然的途径。

Developed as part of a comprehensive framework plan, the Northerly Island project transforms a man-made peninsula on Chicago＇s lakefront into a 9l-acre public park that functions as a living ecosystem. The design embraces the site＇s artificiality, constructing a topography and landscape that encourages wildlife to occupy it -- over time, creating an amplified, bio- diverse ecosystem whose various habitats and architectural features offer people mul.tiple ways to engage nature in the city.
