Ecosistema Urbano事务所的建筑师Belinda Tato和Jose Luis Vallejo设计了一种“插入式”公共空间，旨在应对设施不足的城市环境中气候变化的影响。这一装置名为“Polinature”，由哈佛大学的萨拉塔气候与可持续发展研究所资助，目前已安装于哈佛绿色建筑与城市中心的后院中。这一亭式装置结合了设置于脚手架中的本地植物和充气式生物气候遮篷，旨在展示小规模干预措施如何对局部微气候和生物多样性产生复合的积极影响。

Architects Belinda Tato and Jose Luis Vallejo of Ecosistema Urbano have designed a plug-in public space designed to address the effects of climate change in ill-equipped urban environments. Titled Polinature, the installation has been funded by the Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability at Harvard, and is now installed in the backyard of the Harvard Center for Green Buildings and Cities. The pavilion, featuring native plans set into a scaffolding, with an inflatable bioclimatic canopy, aims to demonstrate how small-scale interventions can create compound positive effects for the local micro-climate and biodiversity.



随着全球极端高温的频发，维持户外公共空间的舒适性和实用性变得愈发困难。受这些变化影响最严重的是弱势群体，他们本就缺乏对公园和绿地的平等获取权。“Polinature”成为当下一些问题的临时解决方案。作为哈佛设计研究生院的景观建筑教授，Belinda Tato与Jose Luis Vallejo共同致力研发改善不同气候条件下生物气候环境的解决方案。

Maintaining the comfort and usability of outdoor public spaces has become increasingly challenging due to the rise of extreme heat across the globe. Affected most severely by these shifts are vulnerable communities, who are already faced with a lack of equitable access to parks and green spaces. Polinature has been developed as a temporary solution for these issues. As a Landscape Architecture Professor at Harvard Graduate School of Design, Belinda Tato, together with Jose Luis Vallejo, set out to design solutions that could improve bioclimatic conditions across varying climates.





这一设计名为“城市生物多样性套件”，由三大主要组成部分构成：脚手架结构、本地植物和充气式遮篷系统。其模块化特性确保每个部件都可以轻松组装、拆卸和重新配置，从而提供灵活性并减少浪费。“Polinature”的适应性使其能够根据需求使用本地的可持续材料进行定制，从而转变为一个适用于城市干预的可行模型，并且所有技术图纸和说明均以开源资源的形式提供。

这一装置的主要目的之一是支持城市环境中的传粉者栖息地。该装置种植了来自美国东北部的1400多株本地开花植物，旨在吸引如蜜蜂、蜂鸟和帝王蝶等重要的传粉物种。除了打造一个吸引人的聚集空间外，这些植物也证明了传粉者在生态系统中发挥的重要作用。

The design, referred to as an "Urban Biodiversity Kit," utilizes three primary components: scaffolding, native plants, and an inflatable canopy system. Its modular nature ensures that each part can be assembled, disassembled, and reconfigured, offering flexibility and minimizing waste. The adaptability of Polinature allows it to be customized with local, sustainable materials, transforming it into an accessible model for urban interventions, with all technical drawings and instructions available as open-source resources.
One of the main purposes of the installation is to support pollinator habitats within urban environments. It features over 1,400 native flowering plants from the northeast, designed to attract essential pollinator species such as honeybees, hummingbirds, and monarch butterflies. In addition to creating an inviting gathering space, these plans promote the crucial role that pollinators play within the environment.





此外，“Polinature”的可调节遮篷利用橙色气候气泡和白色照明模块来调节温度并提供照明。传感器技术使装置能够根据环境变化进行动态调整，例如在检测到高温和湿度时释放微风，从而提升用户的舒适度。此外，这种数字互动功能使访客能够与现场展示的实时气候数据进行互动，提升所有访客的环境意识，并促进交流。

Additionally, Polinature's adaptable canopy utilizes orange climatic bubbles and white lighting pods to manage temperature and provide illumination. Sensor technology enables the installation to adjust dynamically to environmental changes, enhancing user comfort by releasing breezes in response to detected heat and humidity. Moreover, this digital interactivity allows visitors to engage with real-time climatic data displayed throughout the site, fostering environmental awareness and interaction for all who visit.



生物多样性常常被忽视，但其在城市环境中扮演着重要角色，它确保了生态系统的连续性，并维持传粉者物种的生存。通过整合绿色植物和多样化的城市空间，城市设计可以大力支持这些生态系统，促进多种植物、动物和昆虫物种的繁衍与共存。

While often overlooked, biodiversity plays an important role in urban environments, ensuring the continuity of ecosystems and sustaining pollinator species. Urban design can contribute significantly to support these ecosystems, by integrating greenery and diverse urban spaces that foster a diverse range of species of plants, animals and insects.
