WEERWATER ROUTE

水，是一座城市最为重要的元素

此次的滨水景观设计项目位于荷兰阿尔默勒市中心湖区，它位于城市中心至北片区，同时由未来Floriade Terrain发展至南部地区，而这些地区目前还未开发出所富含的潜力。就当前而言，城市离不开水系的发展，在许多地方，人们很难沿着水域步行或骑行，同时这里也缺乏许多基础设施。因此这也成为了该项目的巨大契机，设计师们可以将此改造为适应居民运动、娱乐、休闲的场所，同时也成为地区的核心空间。该区域将城市中心和周边地区连接起来，为城市带来巨大潜力与特征。

The water as central icon for the city
The Weerwater is Almere’s central inland lake that borders the city centre to the north and the future Floriade Terrain to the south. It is a unique cross-section of city and countryside, which is still not being used to its fullest potential. Currently, the city has its back to the Weerwater. In many places, walking or biking along the water is impossible and there are hardly any facilities along the shore. This creates a tremendous opportunity to transform the Weerwater area into a place where residents can enjoy sports, recreation and time together, forming a beating heart of Almere. It is a place that links the city centre and surrounding areas, giving Almere its identity.



项目规划设计的任务是为湖区设计一条具有特色、可用性强的滨水步道，同时希望其能承载运动、休闲娱乐、衔接、聚集广场、街头小品和桥梁等活动。因此，这条滨水步道其实也与该片区的发展与复兴密切相关。项目旨在利用这条滨水游线为阿尔穆勒市提供鲜明的主题，同时也为附近的居民提供良好的休闲去处。滨水步道的规划发展与设计不仅为城市或者某一片区的发展带来新机遇，也为水体自身空间的功能性带来更多可能。居民区的搬迁和新居住区的建立也为滨水步道日后的公众参与做出更好的保障，同时促进城市的发展。

The assignment is to design a recognisable Weerwater Route (Rondje Weerwater) to support facilities and activities and to create trails for sports and recreation, connectors, bridges, gathering places and furniture. Thus, the “physical” Weerwater Route is intrinsically linked to the area’s revitalisation and programming. The goal is for the Route to provide an identity theme for Almere and surrounding residential areas. The Route’s development and design brings new possibilities to not only transform the city and the urban design of specific areas, but to improve its functional-spatial coherence. The transformation of neighbouring districts and the construction of new ones offers an excellent opportunity to make better use of the Weerwater Route’s central location, using it as a catalyst for urban development.



为了让滨水步道变得更有意义，因此应当鼓励周边居民的参与。滨水步道能够连接四周所有的居住区以及一些小型公园绿地，同时通过轨道和道路形成大型网络系统。滨水步道落成后，湖区附近将会建立一座公园，其中包含一条7公里长的滨水步道以及一条约4公里、稍微短一点的步道，人们可以在这里享受骑行与健步。

For the Weerwater to be meaningful, it is important that bordering residential districts join in. The Weerwater Route will connect all the surrounding neighbourhoods and fragmented park areas, while also contributing to a larger network of trails and routes. To do so, the design proposes a circular park around the water with a recreational cycling and walking trail: a seven kilometre Weerwater Route and a shorter route of approximately four kilometres.



一条延绵不断的步道环绕着湖区，这也让滨湖空间更能引人注意。项目特点还包括了特殊的边界节点设计、小品设计以及灯光设计，还有区分了步行、自行车、滑冰路线及醒目清晰的标牌指示。通过设置这些容易识别的节点，为来此运动的人们提供醒目的标示，沿着湖岸一块富有活力的步行空间就能吸引更多的人。此外，一系列打动人心的“锚点”也让湖岸区域更加生机勃勃，让来此的游客和附近居民感受到如诗如画的景色。沿着这条路，一段狭窄而悠长的空间，好似环绕着湖岸的节日彩带，为滨湖片区带来更多人气。

A continuous, well-traced path around the lake makes the Weerwater Route more recognisable. Design features include special edge detailing, furnishing and lighting, as well as clearly marked routes for walking, biking, and skating and eye-catching signs to mark the path structure. By creating recognisable locations and providing distance markers for athletes, an active route is formed along the banks. In addition, a series of striking “anchor points” make the water’s edge even more dynamic. These points are placed in strategic locations and are always visible from the previous anchor point, giving visitors and residents the feeling of being literally and figuratively transported. In this way, the Route is a narrative of places and spaces, a festive ribbon along the banks bringing more vibrancy to the Weerwater region.



一般来说，表达场所的特性不仅仅以来某个设计环节，它还需要与服务对象的交流沟通。在这次项目中，北极光工作室参与合作开发环湖路线的视觉标识系统，它们能反映该湖区的核心价值。这种独特、明确的设计方案能使场地带给使用者一种熟悉和可靠的感受。

Naturally, capturing a place’s identity takes more than a design and programming. It also needs to be communicated to the target users. A visual identity for the Route has been developed in collaboration with NorthernLight to reflect the location’s core values. This distinctive, unambiguous design fosters a sense of familiarity and reliability.
