Studio Egret West：伦敦 Egret West 工作室为曼彻斯特设计的梅菲尔德公园，成为了当地 100 多年来的第一个新的城市中心公园。

Studio Egret West: London- based practice, Studio Egret West, designs Mayfield Park, the first new city-centre park to be created in Manchester for over 100 years.

这个占地 6.5 英亩的“公园优先”开发项目已于2022年9月完工，它是一个规模更大的城市规划的一部分，将围绕其修建包括约 1500 套住宅、100 万平方米的办公空间、一个配备350间卧室的酒店以及零售和休闲设施。公园沿着蜿蜒的河流打造了一系列特色空间，这一举措在为人们提供充满活力且可使用的绿色空间的同时，为野生动物创造了自然栖息地，在人类活动与自然生态两者之间取得了微妙的平衡。

Completed in September 2022, this 6.5-acre ‘park first’ development is part of a wider framework to include be approximately 1,500 homes, one million square metres of office space, a 350-bedroom hotel and retail and leisure facilities. The Park provides a sequence of character spaces connected by a meandering river; the design strikes a careful balance between active usable green spaces for people with natural habitat creation for wildlife.

该项目是开发商 LandsecU+I 和 Mayfield Partnership 的合资项目，后者由再生公司LCR、曼彻斯特市议会和大曼彻斯特交通局组成。

公园的设计灵感源于该地的历史和保留的工业遗产。硬景设计的一个重点是通过恢复和再利用现有场地的特征和材料以及区域资源，挖掘场地所具备的曼彻斯特品质。

The scheme is a joint venture between developer LandsecU+I and The Mayfield Partnership, which is made up of regeneration corporation LCR, Manchester City Council and Transport for Greater Manchester.

The landscape is inspired by the site’s history and remaining industrial heritage. A key focus of the hard landscape has been capturing some of the Mancunian qualities of the existing site through restoration and reuse of existing features and materials and regional sourcing.

▽游乐场设计的亮点是一个完全无障碍的游戏塔和滑梯，这使得坐轮椅的儿童也可以和他们的朋友一起享受游戏空间 A highlight of the playground design is the inclusion of a fully-accessible play tower and slide, which allows children in wheelchairs to also enjoy the play space alongside their friends

▽游乐场的塔楼灵感来自于现场发现的八角形工业烟囱的考古遗迹 The towers in the Play Yard were inspired by the archaeological remains of octagonal industrial chimneys found on site

过去，梅德洛克河是一条几乎完全隐藏在视野之外的暗渠。因而，揭开河流的面纱是我们采用“自然至上”设计方法的一个决定性举措。河流提供了重要的野生动物走廊，揭示了其作为一个重要的生物多样性栖息地的潜力。自 2022 年公园首次亮相以来，这条河流在吸引野生动物返回该地区方面发挥了关键作用。

The River Medlock was previously culverted and almost entirely hidden from view. Uncovering the river was a defining move for our nature-first design approach. Rivers provide important wildlife corridors, and revealing the river unlocked the potential as an important biodiverse habitat. Since the park’s debut in 2022, the river has played a key role in attracting wildlife back to the area.

梅菲尔德公园采用自然主义种植设计，可以适应不断变化的气候条件。这包括不同的植物搭配方式、种植床和草地，为游客打造可以穿越不同特征空间的旅程。此外，植物的种植也考虑了场地环境出现干燥和潮湿的极端情况。公园中的植物组合和搭配创造了具有视觉冲击力和功能性的景观，能够适应场地不同环境所带来的影响。

A naturalistic planting design has been implemented across the park that can adapt to changing climate conditions. This includes sequences of different plant arrangements, planting beds, and grasslands, to create journeys through distinct character spaces. Planting is mindful of both dry and wet extremes. The plant mixes create a visually striking yet functional landscape that is able to withstand the spectrum of different environments of the site.

梅菲尔德公园拥有开放的草坪、沿河的人行道、横跨梅德洛克河的三座新桥、休闲娱乐区域和各种座位设施，创造了一个适合社区所有成员参观和享受的空间。

Mayfield Park features open lawns, riverside walkways, three new bridges over the River Medlock, play areas and a variety of seating opportunities, ensuring all members of the community have spaces they can visit and enjoy.
