Práctica Arquitectura：Somes河上的新绿色基础设施是西班牙建筑景观工作室PRÁCTICA最新开发的一个项目，河流穿越罗马尼亚克卢日-纳波卡市15公里，遇到了不同的城市条件：历史中心、工业区和住宅区。在20世纪下半叶，它的河岸被混凝土墙改造，形成了巨大的高度差异，限制了城市和河流之间的视觉和物理联系。

该项目的激活再生，源于Cluj-Napoca市政府于2017年组织的一项公开国际竞赛。最终由Jaime Daroca、JoséMayoral和JoséRamón Sierra组成的西班牙建筑公司PRÁCTICA赢得了比赛。PRÁCTICA协调了一大批跨学科和国际合作者，与他们一起实施了沿河的建筑、景观、工程和城市绿化。

Práctica Arquitectura：The Somes River crosses the city of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, for 15 kilometers, encountering diverse urban conditions: the historic center, industrial areas and housing neighborhoods . During the second half of the 20th century, its banks were modified with concrete walls, which established a drastic difference in height and limited the visual and physical connection between the city and the river.

The regeneration and citizen activation of the banks of the Somes stems from an open international competition, organized by the Municipality of Cluj-Napoca in 2017, and has been implemented with funding from the European Union. The competition was won by the Spanish architectural firm PRÁCTICA, composed of Jaime Daroca, José Mayoral and José Ramón Sierra. PRÁCTICA coordinated an extensive group of interdisciplinary and international collaborators with whom they have implemented the architecture, landscaping, engineering and urbanization along the river’s course.

▽河流空间改造成公共空间的连接通道很重要，但加强其背景和生态价值也很重要

▽该项目恢复了河岸的自然特征，将原有的狭窄和坚硬的边缘扩展和改造成更柔软、更自然的环境

这是城市再生和再自然化的一个例子，它重新评估了Somes河对城市的作用，以及两者之间的联系。这条河被设想为一条绿色走廊，通过可持续的交通路径网络，连接多个公共空间和绿地。反过来，一个自然梯田系统旨在使环境重新自然化，将城市和河流之间的硬边界转变为更宽、更具渗透性的河岸，以实现生物多样性。

It is an example of urban regeneration and renaturalization, which revalues the role of the Somes for the city, as well as the link between the two. The river is conceived as a green corridor that, through a network of sustainable mobility paths, connects multiple public spaces and green areas. In turn, a system of natural terraces is designed to renaturalize the environment, transforming the hard boundary between the city and the river into a wider and more permeable riverbank that allows for biodiversity.

虽然将Somes河改造成公共空间的连接通道很重要，但加强其背景和生态价值也很重要。河流作为一个绿色的连接点和一个发挥了巨大生态价值的公共空间。

该项目恢复了河岸的自然特征，将原有的狭窄和坚硬的边缘扩展和改造成更柔软、更自然的环境。这是通过拓宽河段来实现的，河段绿化梯田。它使河岸成为一个更加多样化的生态系统，拥有不同种类的当地植被、岩石、沙子和生物。促进生物多样性、小气候形成、二氧化碳吸收和入侵物种控制。

While it was important to transform the Somes into a connecting spine of public spaces, it was also essential to enhance its context and ecological values.The river as a green connector and a dignified public space.

The project recovers the natural character of the river banks, expanding and modifying the pre-existing thin and hard edge into a softer and more natural environment. This is achieved by widening the river section, which supports a system of terraces. And it allows the banks to become a more diverse ecosystem which hosts different species of local vegetation, rocks, sand and biorolls. Biodiversity, microclimate formation, CO2 absorption and invasive species control are promoted.

▽河岸预设了不同的亲水方式

改造后的Somes河作为绿色走廊，其更完善的自行车道和人行天桥等道路网络成功的将附近的其他绿地连接起来，这些绿地原本是孤立运作的，如Simion Bărnuțiur中央公园和Cetăƍuia公园。

由于一系列新的公共空间的激活，它的路线变得越来越厚：停车场被改造成俯瞰河流的广场，河岸上有海滩和露天看台。因此，河岸被激活为集体空间，可以休息、欣赏和进入河流与动植物接触。

The project understands the Somes as a green corridor capable even of connecting with other nearby green spaces, which were functioning in isolation such as the Simion Bărnuțiur Central Park or the Cetățuia Park, thanks to the incorporation of a network of pedestrian paths and bike lanes.

Its course acquires thickness due to the activation of a set of new public spaces: parking lots converted into squares overlooking the river and banks incorporating beaches and bleachers. The riverbanks are, thus, activated as collective spaces to contemplate, enjoy and access the course of the river, its fauna and flora.

该项目将河流重新设计为一个新的社会空间，在不同的规模和项目中发挥作用，是居住在城市中的不同社区之间相遇和交流的空间。

河岸的恢复具有多重益处，超越了社会阶层和物理边界。它作为一种新的参与式基础设施，既考虑了当地的情况，也考虑了全球的情况。它提出了一个通过建筑进行对话和共存的新框架，并汇集了一个由建筑、景观建筑、工程、城市规划以及政府机构和现场日常用户组成的西班牙和当地多学科团队的努力。

The project redesigns the river as a new social space that functions at different scales and programs, a space of encounter and exchange between the diverse communities that inhabit the city.

The recovery of the riverbanks has multiple benefits, beyond social strata and physical boundaries. It acts as a new participatory infrastructure that addresses both local and global contexts. It proposes a new framework for dialogue and coexistence through architecture, and brings together the efforts of a broad multidisciplinary team, Spanish and local, made up of professionals in architecture, landscape architecture, engineering, urban planning, as well as government agencies and the everyday users of the site.
