奥兰珠校区公园旨在成为市中心的活力源泉，作为促进地区发展的催化剂，吸引奥兰珠和阿尔伯克基都市区的居民前来市中心参观，同时为常来市中心游玩、工作和学习的群众提供便利设施。建筑师通过创建一个多用途的地标性户外聚会空间，来打造一处活动中心，校区公园每天都吸引着学生和教职工前来散步、锻炼、学习，或者只是欣赏广阔景色和享受户外活动。

Rio Rancho Campus Park is designed to be the dynamic heart of City Center, a catalyst for further development in the area, a draw for residents of Rio Rancho and the rest of the Albuquerque Metropolitan Area to visit City Center, and an amenity that serves the many people who work, learn, and otherwise visit City Center regularly. The project’s scope was to create a signature multi-purpose, accessible outdoor gathering space as an activity hub and destination. On a daily basis, Campus Park draws area students and employees who wish to walk, exercise, study, take in the expansive views, and enjoy the outdoors.



沙漠绿洲的设计理念源于该地区的自然特征。比如奥兰珠的台地、悬崖等地形，格兰德河和博斯克河两侧的绿洲，极具代表性的广阔天空，以及周围山脉的全景。设计方案在场地的原有地形上添加现代设计语言元素，创造了俯瞰点、自然圆形剧场、草坪露台和树丛低地。

The design concept, desert oasis, came from the natural character of the region. Natural character included the mesas and escarpments, the relative oasis of the Rio Grande River and bosque, the significance of the large open skies, and the sweeping views of surrounding mountain ranges. Campus Park acts as an oasis within the arid environment of the desert. The design takes advantage of the site’s significant topography and adds to it, creating overlooks, a natural amphitheater, terrace lawns, and bosque lowlands, all in a contemporary design language.



公园利用地形创建一系列户外“房间”，避免恶劣环境条件影响使用者。“房间”从狭小、私密的读书角和边缘延伸到可容纳数千人的大型公共聚集区。几个大草坪被环形路径和轻微地形变化切割，从而使草坪在某个角度看上去像是一块空地，而另一角度看起来就像梯田。

The park is designed to use topography to create a series of outdoor rooms that protect users from harsh environmental conditions. The rooms flow from small, intimate reading rooms and nooks to sizeable public gathering areas accommodating several thousand people. Several large lawns are divided by circulation paths and subtle topographic variations that allow the lawns to be viewed as a single field from one direction and multiple terraces from another.





公园的标志性建筑，叫做“天空之屋（Sky Room）”，这是一个用于大型活动和表演的空间。天空之屋的屋顶由网钢制成，表面锈蚀，内部光滑，屋顶上点缀着一个看向天空的圆形观景窗。如果观众坐在结构里面，该空间可以用于小型活动，而针对大型活动，观众可以坐在后面斜坡上的圆形剧场露台，或者前面向北延伸的草坪露台。

An iconic architectural feature of the park is the Sky Room, a large event and performance space. Constructed of mesh steel with a rusted finish on the outside and a smooth finish on the inside, the Sky Room roof is punctuated with a round viewing portal to the sky. The space can serve for small events with the audience seated under the structure or for large events with the audience seated either in the amphitheater terrace set into the slope behind it, or on the lawn terraces spread out before it to the north.



场地设计考虑了许多正面收益，尤其是在雨水方面。公园一开始就被设计成一块雨水滞留池，几乎完全由透水表面组成。场地内的人行道和广场几乎没有硬质铺装，而是由压实的碎料、原生景观植物、原生野花花园和露台草坪组成的小路。由于透水材料的表面积大，公园可以当即处理所有雨水，不再需要额外的雨水系统排放，场地外的雨水也可以接收渗透到公园中，转移到下游的雨水池。

The site was designed with many beneficial impacts in mind, especially in terms of stormwater. Originally designed as a stormwater detention pond, the park comprises almost entirely of pervious surfaces. There are few paved walkways and plazas, but instead, paths made of compacted crusher fines, gathering areas, native landscape plantings, a native wildflower garden, and terrace lawns. As a result of the large surface areas of pervious materials, the park can handle all of its stormwater on-site without discharging any additional water into the stormwater system and also accepts significant stormwater volumes from off-site, all of which can percolate into the park to transfer through to an adjacent stormwater basin downstream.
