项⽬陈述 PROJECT STATEMENT
PFS Studio在意料之外的场所打造了⼀个充满了想象⼒的公共空间。桥下公园位于多伦多市中
⼼⼀段⾼速⾼架桥之下，曾经⽆⼈问津的荒废⼟地如今成为了活⼒⼗⾜的公共公园，不仅为周
边市民的休闲娱乐和社会交往提供着空间，同时也打通了新旧社区与附近公园的联系。本项⽬
是著名的多伦多West Don Lands区域滨⽔空间复兴计划中不可或缺的重要部分，以安全⽽充满
⽣命⼒的公共空间联系起Corktown公园，河滨⼴场以及⾼架路两侧的社区。在当前的城市语境 之下，城市的⼈⼝数量与密度急速增长，开放空间被逐步挤压，⽽本项⽬证明了对于诸如桥下
空间这种荒废地块的设计极富远见，将为⽚区内的⽣活质量带来质的提升。
Underpass Park is a highly imaginative public space in a rather unexpected place. Located
beneath a complex of existing highway overpasses in Toronto’s downtown, an otherwise
forgotten and derelict remnant has been transformed into an active public park providing
diverse recreational and social opportunities while connecting new and existing local
neighborhoods and nearby parks. This unique public space is part of Waterfront Toronto’s
revitalization efforts of the celebrated new West Don Lands neighborhood. It serves to link
Corktown Common, River Square and the neighborhoods of both sides of the overpass
complex through the provision of safe and animated public realm design. At a time when urban
open-space resources continue to dwindle, and city populations and densities increase, taking
advantage of unexpected opportunities, such as the underbelly of an overpass, has proven to
be both visionary and essential for the overall health and vibrancy of this area of the city.

项⽬说明 PROJECT NARRATIVE
场地
北美城市中纵横交错的⾼架路⽹之下，是⼈们视若⽆睹的灰⾊空间。⽽也正是由于这些忽视与
遗忘，导致其⽆法为相应区域的空间改善贡献任何价值。
长久以来，多伦多⽔岸开发公司⼀直在尝试振兴这⽚滨⽔地带，让曾经的⼯业地带转化为极富
活⼒的West Don Lands居民区。⽽设计团队也抓住了这个机会，将位于东⼤街、⾥⼠满与阿德
莱德⼤街交汇⽴交的桥下空间从⽆⼈问津的负⾯因素变为了社区所共享的宝贵资产。改造前的
场地正如所有这类废弃空间⼀般，因为普通民众的视⽽不见⽽充斥着违章停车与⾮法活动，潜在的安全隐患愈发让⼈唯恐避之不及。⽽如今，这个占地1.05公顷的桥下公园已成为了区域内最重要的两个公园之⼀，打通了Corktown公园、河滨⼴场以及⾼架路两侧社区的联系，在多伦多的东城建⽴起⼀个⽣机勃勃的完整社区空间。 im2.0互动营销改造
本项⽬的成功归功于设计团队对现有空间⽀撑结构潜⼒的充分挖掘，上⽅延绵的道路造就了下⽅极富秩序与节奏感，交替出现的承重梁柱⽹格结构与内嵌的⼩型空间。⽽桥下公园的空间结构与功能规划的最终确定也受到了这略带历史⽓息的交通设施空间格局的影响。⾼架路如同⼀把巨⼤的保护伞，为桥下空间遮风挡⾬，塑造出⼀⽚全年⽆休的活动场地，⽆论⽩天或夜晚，篮球、曲棍球、滑板等种种活动激活了公园空间，甚⾄在多伦多常见的极端天⽓状况下也不例外。
环绕场地边缘与点缀在⾼架路间空地上的茂盛植被将这⽚曾经充斥着毫⽆⽣⽓的灰⾊混凝⼟结构的棕地变为了绿意葱葱的休闲场所。这些⽣命⼒顽强，能够经受住恶劣城市环境考验的植被为场地带来了丰富的肌理与短暂却美好的勃勃⽣机。
⼀道道蜿蜒的带状矮墙穿插在为满⾜交通功能和多样化的活动需求⽽保持了开放的空间之中，将其进⼀步划分为不同的活动区域，引导着⼈们在其中穿⾏，并提供了休息的座椅。夜晚，长凳下⽅的灯光亮起，映照在⽊质的座椅之上，显得温暖⽽明快，与交通设施冰冷⽽沉重的质感产⽣了鲜明的对⽐。⾼低起伏、迂回曲折的低矮墙体为空间增添了不少趣味性，⽽伴其左右、繁盛⽣长的⾼茎草丛与本⼟植被则为这⽚城市中⼼的公共空间带来了⼀些野趣。点缀在场地之中的⼉童游戏设置则为整个空间带来了更丰富的⾊彩、形式与功能。
改造策略中最引⼈注⽬的⼀点当属场地中兼具艺术⽓息与实⽤性的灯光设计。夜晚，略带夸张的明快⾊彩映照在延绵的柱廊之上，赋予了这⽚场地与⽩天截然不同，却仍不失吸引⼒的全新⾯貌，在丰富场地夜间空间体验的同时，指引路线，带来了安全感。⾊彩、排布形式不⼀的LED地灯增加了照明系统的层次，也带来了变化⽆穷的视觉体验。
公共艺术装置被放置在⾼架桥底部以呼应着照明系统，同时也有助于削弱上⽅厚重桥梁带给⼈的压迫感。由Paul Raff Studio创造的“海市蜃楼”占据了部分桥底空间，将公园中发⽣的⼀切倒映其中。这套镜⾯装置极具魅⼒，在⽩天折射着不断变化的⾃然光线，⽽在夜晚，明快⽽夸张的灯光亮起，仿佛在镜⾯中创造了⼀个迷幻的魔法空间。
桥下⽣活
通过多层次的功能规，灵活的空间组织以及极具冲击⼒的灯光设计与公共艺术，桥下公园已经成为了城市中独树⼀帜的公共空间，⼀个不仅能够为社区提供安全⽽宜⼈的外部空间，同时也成为了城市居民休闲⽣活的⽬的地。这⽚兼具社区设施与城市舞台两种职责的公园也得到了⽆数艺术活动的青睐，⽆论是⾃发性的表演、滑板活动、舞蹈演出、或是⾳乐视频和⼴告的拍摄皆在这⾥出没。
在管理部门的倡导与⿎励下，来⾃StreetARToronto、Mural Routes、the Corktown Residents、Business Association以及Friends of the Pan Am Path等多个艺术组织作为“先头部队”，打响了⽤创造⼒激活空间的第⼀战。⼤量街头涂鸦覆盖了冰冷的混凝⼟桥墩，创造出⼀个独特⽽充满活⼒的城市艺术⾛廊。明亮的⾊彩与风格多样的作品凸显了这⽚社区空间的参与性，仿佛在呼吁每⼀位使⽤者都加⼊到其中，携⼿合作促进这⽚公共空间的发展与转变。
桥下公园证明了通过有效的设计⼿段，城市中的废⽓荒地将能够被转化并完全融⼊城市肌理，成为城市开放空间系统的⼀部分。除了上述多样化的社区⽤途外，每⽇带来孩⼦前来游玩嬉戏的⽗母则是本次设计的成功与价值最简单也最直接的例证。随着城市密度的⽇益增加，从传统公共空间的⾓度去寻建设新型公园空间的难度也⽇益增加，因⽽作为景观设计师，挖掘⽆⼈问津的场地的潜⼒并赋予其活⼒和价值，让其成为公共领域中不可或缺的⼀部分是我们最重要的职责之⼀。

The Site
It is not often that one considers what lies below the elevated transportation networks that crisscross through many North American cities. These spaces are often forgotten and derelict, contributing little to no value to the communities within which they are found.
As part of Waterfront Toronto’s extensive revitalization efforts of former industrial lands into the new West Don Lands neighborhood, an opportunity was seized to take an incidental, neglected space located below the Eastern Ave, Richmond, and Adelaide Street overpasses, and to transform it from a liability into a community asset. The existing conditions on site were those commonly found in these forgotten spaces. Largely ignored or avoided by the general public, the existing site was forlorn and even dangerous space used for informal parking, illegal activities and little else. The 2.5 acre (1.05 hectare) park now serves as one of two key parks in the new community, linking Corktown Common, River Square and the two main development areas of the neighborhood – that are bisected by the overpasses- into a lively and complete community in Toronto’s eastern downtown.
The Transformation
Completely transformed, the success of the project nonetheless lay in the recognition of the latent po
tential found in the existing supporting structure, its repetitious – almost hypnotic – grid of heavy columns and beams and the varied pockets of open space that resulted from the road geometries above. The spatial framework and programming choices for Underpass Park was inspired by the rooms created by all of this relic- like transportation infrastructure. Essentially serving as “free for the taking” massive weather protection, the ceilings of the overpasses now invite year-round use and animation and allow activities such as basketball, roller hockey, and skateboarding to happen day and night and during inclement weather, something very familiar to Torontonians.
Previously a brownfield site dominated by the heavy grey concrete structures, densely planted areas along the edges and in the voids between the overpasses have transformed the site from grey to green. Plants were selected for their ruggedness and ability to withstand harsh urban conditions while providing a layer of fine texture and ephemerality to the site.
While much of the space was left open for circulation and flexible activities, a carefully composed layer of multi-functional ribbon-like wall structures were added to help define various activity zones, provide seating and to direct movement throughout the site. The wood-topped bench components of the under lit walls offer a warm counterpoint to the hard and heavy lines of the existing infrastructure. The playful vertical and horizontal undulations of the ribbon walls add visual interest and play opport
unities while the associated tall grasses and regional landscape choices provide hints of “wild” within a strictly urban setting. A layer of fanciful children’s play elements are speckled throughout and contribute to the transformation of the space through color, form, and program.
One of the most significant transformative strategies was the element of light which plays both an artistic and functional role at the park. Existing column archways are uplit in bright, imaginative colors that help to reinvent the space at night, drawing attention to its depth and repetitive makeup, providing an animated night experience and aiding in wayfinding and a sense of safety. Various in-ground LED lights add another dimension of illumination and are programmed to create ever-changing visual interest.
A public art layer was integrated into the underside of the structure to interact with the lighting scheme and to reduce the oppressive character of the heavy structures above. A portion of the overpass ceiling is now adorned with a reflective public art piece, Mirage, created by Paul Raff Studio. This mirrored artwork dramatically brightens the covered spaces, adding to the interplay of natural light during the day and becoming its own piece of magic at night when the
