Groundworks Office：在种植者广场，Groundworks Office 设计事务所通过一个富有弹性的新广场展现了核桃溪的文化历史。
Groundworks Office: At Growers Square, Groundworks Office revealed Walnut Creek’s cultural history with a resilient new plaza.
种植者广场是 20 世纪 80 年代开发的一个办公类项目，位于核桃溪市中心与繁忙的公交车站之间。在这个非常适合步行的环境中，Groundworks Office 参照重要的历史文化元素，重新定义了广场的特征，并为未来打造了一个具有弹性的景观。
Growers Square is a 1980s office development centrally located between downtown Walnut Creek and a busy transit station. Within this highly walkable context, Groundworks Office redefined the character of the plaza by referencing important historical touchpoints and building a resilient landscape for the future.
这个充满活力的新广场设有集成的定制座椅和遮阳结构，为户外会议、茶歇和临时聚会创造了条件。新广场的设计增加了更清晰、更易通行的通道，同时还增加了可种植的总面积，以减少雨水径流，并为曾经不起眼的办公广场重塑了生机与场所感。
The dynamic new plaza features integrated custom seating and shade structures that create opportunities for outdoor meetings, coffee breaks, and impromptu get-togethers. Our design adds clearer and more accessible paths of travel while increasing the overall plantable area to reduce rainwater runoff and bring a sense of life and place to the formerly nondescript office plaza.
在概念上，广场的规划参考了曾经占据这片原始山谷的一批又一批人的生活场景。中央广场独特的黑白铺装图案直接引用了海湾米沃克族印第安部落 Volvons 的工艺品、纹身和祭祀头饰中使用的图案。
Conceptually, our plan references the successive waves of people who once occupied this pristine valley. The central plaza’s distinctive black and white paving pattern is a direct reference to the pattern used in the crafts, tattoos, and ceremonial headdress of the Volvons, a band of the Bay Miwok Indian tribe.
而植物的选择更能让人联想到 18 世纪来到这里的西班牙探险家。虽然这些植物在今天看来可能很陌生，但这些格兰马草（Boutelous gracillis）、红花荞麦（Eriogonium grande）和加利福尼亚沙棘（Frangula californica）等植物都具有顽强的生命力，能够适应未来气温升高、降雨量减少的环境。
The plantings, however, are more evocative of the Spanish explorers who came to the area in the 18th century. Though they may seem foreign to the area today, the plants we’ve chosen Boutelous gracillis, Eriogonium grande and Frangula californica are all suited for a future of higher temperatures and lower rainfall.
设计以小见大，用小的场地，讲述了其背后的深刻历史故事，让这个新的广场成为种植者广场开发项目最具吸引力的地方。
It’s a big story to tell on a small site. But the impact has been transformative. and the new plaza has become a major selling point for the Grower’s Square development.
