Diamond Schmitt Architects 和度假村开发商 Therme 集团发布了多伦多安大略湖滨广场改造展示，计划为广场新增游泳池、植物园和艺术体验。

Therme安大略湖滨广场的总体规划是上世纪70 年代建造的这个娱乐公园中现有的地标建筑，与新的公共空间和文化景点相结合。

新增项目包括一个巨大的植物温室，其中还有水池和花形凉亭和一个湖滨海滩。

Dezeen promotion: Diamond Schmitt Architects and resort developer Therme Group have unveiled plans to overhaul the lakefront Ontario Place in Toronto by adding swimming pools, botanical gardens and art experiences.
The Therme Canada Ontario Place masterplan sees the 1970s-built entertainment park transformed by combining the existing landmark architecture with new public spaces and cultural attractions.
New additions will include a huge glasshouse filled with plants and swimming pools, a flower-shaped exhibition pavilion and a lakefront beach.

“Diamond Schmitt 为 Therme 集团的设计给那些渴望与大自然建立紧密联系以丰富人类精神的城市场所定义了未来。” 工作室创始人Don Schmitt说道，他们总部位于多伦多。

“这座建筑生机勃勃，毗邻水景，面朝开阔景观，代表着当地营造智慧，是组成安大略广场的遗产的一部分。”他说。

安大略广场最出名的就是作为实验性建筑的场地。这里曾作为 1967 年蒙特利尔世博会附属场地，建了一座被称为电影圈的三角圆顶建筑，三处悬挂在泻湖表面上方的吊舱。

"Diamond Schmitt's design for Therme defines a future for urban places that aspire to strong connections in nature to enrich the human spirit," said studio co-founder Don Schmitt, who is based in Toronto.
"The architecture is exuberant, connected to water and the open landscape, grounded in indigenous knowledge and engaged in the heritage and legacy of Ontario Place," he said.
Ontario Place is best known as a site of experimental architecture. Built as part of the legacy of the 1967 Montréal Expo, its buildings include a triodetic dome known as the cinesphere and three pods suspended above the surface of the lagoon.

鉴于这处遗址的重要性及其与多伦多市中心的区位联系，自 2012 年停止作为主题公园运营以来，该遗址的改造一直是全市争论的话题。

Therme集团希望让安大略广场恢复昔日作为旅游景点的辉煌，同时让它更易于公众访问，并向更多人群开放。

作为健康度假村的全球领导者——比如之前开发的Therme Bucharest项目——Therme集团认为以水为基础的体验是振兴的关键。

Therme集团首席执行官 Robert Hanea 表示：“安太略广场的未来取决于场地能否成功地将人们与水连接起来。”

他说：“通过我们的技术和社区的参与，Therme 和我们的合作伙伴将为广场新添一个建筑地标，传达50 年前安大略广场所代表的精神，吸引人们返回这块海滨。”

The future of the site has been a topic of city-wide debate since it stopped operating as a theme park in 2012, given the significance of its heritage and its connection to Downtown Toronto.
Therme Group's ambition is to bring Ontario Place back to its former glory as a tourist attraction but to open it up to a wider audience by making it more publicly accessible.
As a global leader in wellbeing resorts – with past projects including Therme Bucharest – the developer believes that water-based experiences are key to this revitalisation.
"The future of Ontario Place will be defined by how successful it can be connecting people to the water," said Therme Group CEO Robert Hanea.
"Through our technology and by engaging the community, Therme and our partners will add a new architectural landmark that will play a role in bringing more people back to the waterfront, capturing the original spirit of Ontario Place from 50 years ago," he said.

Diamond Schmitt 与Therme集团旗下的设计团队 Therme ARC 密切合作，共同打造总体规划方案。

Therme 安太略广场的主楼用节能、对鸟类友好的玻璃建造，将泳池、康养设施与植物园结合在一起。

入口展厅由三个透明的拱顶组成，形态的灵感来源于延龄草。

Diamond Schmitt worked closely with Therme Group's in-house design team Therme ARC on the masterplan.
The main Therme Canada Ontario Place building, built from energy-efficient, bird-friendly glass, will combine swimming and wellness facilities with botanical gardens.
The Therme Entrance Pavilion will be formed of three transparent vaults, inspired by the form of a trillium flower.

该空间也是 Therme集团的文化部门 Therme Art 策划的多感官艺术装置和可持续基础设施实验场地。

Therme Art 与艺术家、设计师和建筑师多方合作，如 DRIFT、Torkwase Dyson、Refik Anadol 和 Stefano Mancuso 等，共同开发特定地点的项目。

艺术家Torkwase Dyson说：“安大略广场设计项目邀请我们探索所有的感官，是一次尝试在室内外完美亲近自然的机会。”

This space will host a programme of multi-sensorial art installations and sustainable infrastructural solutions curated by Therme Group's cultural arm, Therme Art.
Therme Art works with a network of artists, designers and architects, such as DRIFT, Torkwase Dyson, Refik Anadol and Stefano Mancuso amongst many others, to develop site-specific projects.
"The design for Ontario Place invites us to explore all of our senses and supports opportunities for ongoing internal and external liberation practices connected to nature," said artist Torkwase Dyson.

在所有 Therme 的项目中，包括安太略广场，都基于植物来提供功能性解决方案，通过植物的自然过程和循环来净化建筑物内的空气。

生态功能的组织由植物学家 Stefano Mancuso 带头的城市植物生态策略工作室Pnat指导。这个概念在 2021 年威尼斯建筑双年展曼库索装置系列上有展示，名为“互助”。

该装置分享了人类和植物如何通过交流过程进行相互联系，促进了健康文化论坛的讨论，这是 Therme Art 为应对 2020 年全球疫情而建立的跨学科讨论平台。

“我们研究了植物生态策略，这是 Therme 集团和 Pnat 的合资企业，基于植物策略的研究成果将广泛用于位于多伦多的项目。”Mancuso 说。

除了改善空气质量的生态策略外，改造计划还包括 32,000 ㎡的公共空间，包括新的海滩、绿地、湿地以及优化后的人行道和自行车道网络。

在改造电影圈和吊舱后，这些空间更加开放，通过新建一座大桥连接起西岛和大陆。

Across all Therme facilities, including Therme Canada Ontario Place, there will be functional plant-based solutions that intend to purify the air inside the buildings through natural processes and cycles observed in plants.
This function has been informed by urban botanical solutions provider Pnat, led by plant scientist Stefano Mancuso. The concept was shown in Mancuso's installation called Mutual Aid at the 2021 Biennale Architettura in Venice.
The installation shared how humans and plants are interconnected through processes of mutual exchange which promoted discussions at the Wellbeing Culture Forum, Therme Art's platform of interdisciplinary discourse founded in response to the global pandemic in 2020.
"We created Botanical Solutions, a joint venture between Therme Group and Pnat whose plant-based solutions will be widely used in the Toronto project," said Mancuso.
In addition to solutions designed to improve air quality, the scheme also includes 32,000 square metres of public space, including the new beach, green spaces, wetlands, and an enhanced network of pedestrian and cycle paths.
Renovations to the cinesphere and pods will make these spaces more accessible, and a new bridge will be installed to connect the West Island with the mainland.

“Therme 以扩建公园为基础。”Diamond Schmitt的总裁Gary McCluskie 说，“保留吊舱和电影圈，尊重并延续安大略广场的历史。”

“我们还设计了安大略广场西岛广场，将人们四季都能亲近水景。”他说， “我们的设计语言有三个主题，并通过建筑来表达展厅、自然形态和温室建筑。”

安大略广场在建成后预计每年将会吸引 300 万游客，是该市在疫情后转型的关键。

在整个项目中，Therme Art 将与多伦多当地社区合作，通过文化改善生活。

“Therme Art 立足于多伦多乡土景观 ，通过与自然、与社区建立联系、协同扩张，提出以改善人们生活的文化增强为核心的长期方案。”Therme Art 的CEO和Therme集团的副总裁Mikolaj Sekutowicz如是说道。

"Therme is grounded in the planned expansion of public park space," said Diamond Schmitt principal Gary McCluskie. "It honours and celebrates Ontario Place's history, including the pods and cinesphere."
"We designed the West Island of Ontario Place to connect people to the water year-round," he stated. "Our design weaves three themes, expressed through architecture: exhibition pavilions; natural forms; and greenhouse architecture."
Once complete, Ontario Place is expected to attract three million visitors every year and become a linchpin of the city's post-Covid transformation.
Throughout the project, Therme Art will work with local Toronto communities with the aim of improving lives with culture.
"Therme Art will work closely with Toronto's local scenes, through synergic expansion in relation to the environment and its communities, by proposing long-lasting alternatives for the improvement of people's lives at the core of cultural enhancement," said CEO of Therme Art and Vice President of Therme Group, Mikolaj Sekutowicz.
