重塑城市街区的五种方式
5 Ways to Reinvent the City Block

由专筑网李韧，严越编译

如果让你想象一座完美的城市，你会考虑哪些因素呢？迷宫般的自行车道？丰富的绿地景观？专为经济适用房而设计的豪华公寓？

一个大型的房地产开发公司——Property Markets Group提出了一个雄心勃勃的建议，试图重新塑造城市街区，他们计划在芝加哥中心附近的一块土地上打造一个多功能社区。

When it comes to envisioning the perfect city, what aspects of urbanism come to mind? An endless maze of bike lanes? Green space galore? Luxury-level designed apartments built specifically for affordable housing?
A major, large-scale real estate development firm, Property Markets Group, has put forward an ambitious proposal that attempts to reinvent the city block. They’re challenging themselves to create a mixed-used development on a new 7-acre parcel of land near downtown Chicago. The goal is for their plan, ParkWorks, to come to fruition in the Lower West Side community of Pilsen.



1、空间最大化

PMG建筑事务所不断探索各种方法来重塑人们印象中对城市街道的定义。因为这块位于Pilsen的区域暂时没有其他用途，因此事务所的团队计划将Peoria街道塑造的人行通道是普通人行道宽度的2倍。通过增加这样一个步行区域，同时运用大幅面雕塑和专用自行车道，使得这个道路区域成为两个住宅区和购物区的重要联系纽带。

1. Maximize Space
PMG is rethinking the definition of an urban street by exploring various ways to activate it. Because this area in Pilsen is vacant, the team wants to create a sidewalk on Peoria Street that is double the size of a typical sidewalk construction. By adding an Art Walk there, as well, programmed with large-format sculptures and a dedicated bike line, the sidewalk becomes a focal point of connection between the two residential and shopping sections of the development.

2、节点设计

在一个活跃的城市环境中创建熙熙攘攘的空间的最佳途径之一是规划各个节点。通过在各个功能空间中设计多个节点区域，使得公共空间和私有空间之间的界限变得模糊，产生更多的社区交互区域，从而鼓励空间共享。

再结合PMG事务所设想的斜穿过场地的人形走道，增加行人数量，为酒吧、餐馆以及露天咖啡馆提供大量就餐人流。与此同时，走道也将成为周边住宅的走廊门厅。

2. Design for Program Collisions
One of the best ways to create the hustle and bustle desired in an active urban environment is to plan for programmatic collisions. By designing for multiple programs within a single setting, the line between public and private space is blurred, creating more community interaction and encouraging the use of shared spaces.
PMG has envisioned large walkways that cut diagonally through the site, increasing pedestrian circulation at the neighborhood level and serving as outdoor café space for bars and restaurants. The walkways will also be lobbies for the residential buildings that line the perimeter of the development.

3、结合更多景观绿地

新社区的居民将能享受到由太阳提供纯净能源的屋顶绿色花园。由周围的住房围合而成的公共室外庭院将成为供市民享受的绿地景观。


4、物美价廉的住宅

PMG建筑事务所提出一个很有创意的建议——在芝加哥建造人人都能负担得起的住房。这块区域将包括许许多多大多数人们能买得起的住宅，这将创造一个前无所有的城市发展历史。为此房地产公司将为当地家庭提供物美价廉的经济适用房，这样人们在Pilsen社区占有的一席之地使得他们的投资变得具有价值并且还能防止贬值。

3. Plan More Green Space
Residents of the new development will have the opportunity to enjoy rooftop gardens fitted with solar panels to provide clean energy to the buildings. The public outdoor courtyards, formed by the surrounding housing properties, will also feature green space for the public to enjoy.
4. Make It Affordable
PMG is proposing a radical way of facilitating the creation of affordable housing in Chicago. The site will include more affordable housing units than any project funded by a private development in the city’s history. To do this the firm will provide on-site affordable housing for local families; while also acquiring existing buildings in the community of Pilsen to keep them affordable and prevent displacement.

5、安排共同生活

大多数住宅都包括公共区域或者用于出租的卧室。PMG事务所认为住宅的未来在于创造一个公共空间，这里能够让人们更轻松的与他人交流。

随着这一方案的推行，PMG事务所像城市规划师一样地考虑各个因素。这个充满野心的项目提出一个多层次的方法来设计不同的区域节点来改造典型的城市街区。围绕这一想法，许许多多的项目近期在美国各大城市层出不穷。像洛杉矶这样的城市中心的房产规划正在以最大化的上升空间来促进经济增长，例如赫尔佐格与德穆隆的事务所近期就正在做类似的项目。

类似于大型多功能综合体项目，这样的计划也存在这样一个问题，我们如何更好地处理公共空间和私人区域？并且如何以最大的限度发挥每个空间的优势？

5. Consider Co-Living Arrangements
Most of the residential buildings will include co-living or rent-by-the-bedroom units. PMG believes the future of residential living lies in the ability to attract young urban professionals into an environment that offers them the ability to easily connect with others in an affordable setting.
With the creation of this proposal, PMG is taking on the role of urban designer. The ambitious project aims to reinvent the typical city block by proposing a multilayered approach to designing for different programs. Recent projects centered around this idea are popping up in large cities around the United States. Urban centers like Los Angeles are planning properties like Herzog & de Mueron’s 6AM development in order to maximize space and promote economic growth.
Similar to the other large-scale, mixed-use projects, PMG’s ParkWorks proposal responds to a longstanding question: How can we design public and private spaces within a single development so as to maximize the benefits each space is receiving from one another?
