Burnaby Campus Plaza Renewal / PUBLIC Architecture + Communication

由专筑网小R编译

来自建筑事务所的描述：作为遗产建筑作品的敏感保存，SFU广场更新项目满足了校园对于创新教育、前沿研究、深远社区参与的动态整合的愿景，室外中央核心的更新对于校园而言是一条重要的路径，这条路径通过校园的室外公共空间的更新而得以改善，很好地改善了使用感受。  

Text description provided by the architects. Sensitive preservation of a heritage architectural masterwork, the SFU Plaza Renewal fulfills the University’s vision for dynamic integration of innovative education, cutting-edge research, and far-reaching community engagement. The upgrades to the outdoor central spine, a processional route of great significance to the campus, have greatly improved user experience by aesthetic renewal and improvement of the campus outdoor public space.







Erickson / Massey Simon Fraser大学校园建于1965年，这也是加拿大建筑中最为重要的部分，该广场有着双重功能，既是公共空间，同时屋顶下方也是教育空间，经过50年的使用，屋顶饰面严重损坏，应该需要更新，Burnaby山的独特气候有着独特的冻融循环，这使得不充分的排水造成原有的瓷砖饰面有些损坏，设计团队应用透水铺装系统和加拿大花岗岩替换了现有的黏土砖。

Built in 1965, the Erickson / Massey Simon Fraser University Campus is among the most significant pieces of Canadian architecture. The Plaza serves a double function as a public space and as a roof sheltering education spaces beneath. After fifty years of use, the roofing membrane and finishes gravely needed renewal. Burnaby Mountain’s unique microclimate produces rapid, freeze-thaw cycles. This and inadequate drainage caused the original ceramic finishes to fail. The design team addressed this challenge with a permeable paving system and replacement of existing clay tiles with Canadian granite.







SFU标志性的Burnaby校园规划的最初设计来源于真实的综合设计过程，即广场和主要购物中心由Arthur Erickson与Geoffrey Massey设计，因此还有一些重要建筑作品则由其他公司设计，比如Academic Quadrangle由Zoltan Kiss设计，科学综合楼由Rhone and Iredale设计，Duncan McNab and Associates设计了剧院和体育馆，Robert Harrison设计了图书馆等等，这座建筑也直接连接了主要道路，同时构成了完整的整体，而在55年之后的如今，更多公司参与到更新项目之中，他们努力的方向都是一致的，尽量延续当时的理念。

The original creation of SFU’s iconic Burnaby campus plan was a truly integrated design process: The Plaza and Main Mall were designed by Arthur Erickson and Geoffrey Massey so that the significant architectural pieces designed by other firms – the Academic Quadrangle by Zoltan Kiss, the Science Complex by Rhone and Iredale, the Theatre and Gymnasium by Duncan McNab and Associates, the Library by Robert Harrison – would plug directly into the main pedestrian arterial and form a cohesive whole. Now, nearly 55 years later, the renewal involves as many firms working side-by-side on different portions of the campus aiming for alignment where their efforts meet and a continuation of the spirit and vision of the time.



该项目给历史性公共空间注入了新生命，应用了更新的方式，并不是替代，并且通过对话和跨学科策略整合了整体景观，保护了上世纪60年代的重要文化遗产。该项目为全面改善公共区域提供了珍惜的契机，其中包含对于表面、照明设施、楼梯饰面、栏杆、场地家具、植物等部分的更新，除此之外，项目尊重Convocation Mall的正式性质，同时也为日常使用者提供了许多休闲交流的机会与场所。

Breathing new life into a historic public space sets a precedent for renewal over replacement and also preserves the important cultural heritage of the 1960s with its inspired goals of dialogue, interdisciplinary work, and landscape integration for future generations. This project provided a rare opportunity to comprehensively improve the public realm, including updates to surfaces, lighting, stairway finishes, railings, site furniture, and plantings. In addition, the renewal respects the formal ceremonial nature of Convocation Mall while providing increased opportunities for day-to-day users to gather, linger, and connect informally.





项目中建筑师应用极简的干预措施，现有的门窗、楼梯门槛并不超过现有结构顶部的3.5英寸，为了满足车辆服务，广场需要完全灌浆，而不仅仅只是传统的底座支撑饰面，两级排水系统让雨水能够通过地面排水管和可渗透砂浆系统而排出，从而直接流入下方。

Minimal intervention complicated the project: Existing door, window, and stair thresholds allowed no more than 3.5 inches of build-up on top of the existing structure. To support service trucks, the Plaza required a fully-grouted—rather than a conventional, pedestal-supported—finish. The two-level drainage system allows rain-water egress by surface drains and via a permeable mortar system (epoxy and birds-eye gravel matrix), allowing water to run right through to the membrane beneath.







建筑设计策略正处于历史混凝土复杂性的初始部分，SFU广场项目很好地推进了混凝土保护专题研究，举例来说，其中包含全尺寸性能测试、现场屋面组件实体模型、双层排水、新浇灌材料与系统等等专题，除此之外，SFU广场的设计策略和研究成果也支持了其他具有文化象征的建筑作品的发展意义，比如其他现代主义校园，此次的更新也很好地延长了SFU Burnaby校园的寿命。

Architectural practice is at the beginning of untangling the complexities of aging historic concrete. The SFU Plaza project has helped advance research focused on concrete conservation (for example, the performance testing of full-scale, in-situ roof-assembly mock-ups, bi-level drainage, and new grouting materials and systems). In addition, the design strategies developed for the SFU Plaza renewal and research results support the efforts of others preserving post-war architectural works of cultural significance, including other Modernist campuses. The renewal doubled the life of the masterwork SFU Burnaby campus.
