Fareground廣場
Fareground by dwg.
dwg.景觀事務所通過改造一座未得到充分利用的辦公廣場，在繁華的城市之中恢復了一片沒落的景觀區域。該項目兼聚集、社交、放鬆、娛樂和創新為一體，形成了全新的城市生活中心，並讓人們在綠洲中充分擁抱市中心的奧斯汀（Austin）社區。由此產生的景觀將場所的規劃、活力、社會參與和環境敏感性表現得淋漓盡致。
dwg. Fareground liberates a lost landscape in a bustling urban environment through the transformation of an underutilized office plaza. The project produced a new hub of urban life; fully embracing the downtown Austin community in an oasis to gather, socialize, relax, entertain and create. The resulting landscape performs through careful programming, vitality, social engagement and environmental sensitivity.
該項目業主需要翻新一座古老的辦公樓，從而與城市的新面貌形成呼應。dwg.景觀事務所是項目的主要顧問，與業主密切合作，建築師重構了建築外觀，為建築注入新的活力，同時滿足當地社區的城市環境需求，奧斯汀在過去的十年裡經歷了迅速的發展，通過對外部改造的概念化過程，設計師對建築的大堂進行了完全地翻新，同時引入了美食廣場。
The client for this project needed to reposition an aging office building in order to compete with a host of new towers in the Austin market. dwg. served as the lead consultant for the project, working closely with the owner to envision an updated exterior to bring a new life to the building; a new life that meets the demands of Austin’s urban environment, which has experienced explosive popularity and change over the past decade. Through the process of conceptualizing the exterior transformation, the project expanded to include a complete renovation of the building’s lobby and the introduction of Austin’s first food hall.
Fareground廣場的面積將近一英畝（約0.4公頃），其中有著一片引人注目的草地，還有著保存完好的大橡樹。當遊客沿著全新的蜿蜒道路進入場地時，便能迅速第融入綠色的自然環境之中。廣場內的平靜隔絕了來自街道的喧囂。
Fareground’s plaza is nearly one-acre in size and features an inviting, rolling lawn with impossible to ignore, preserved, massive oak trees. A new meandering ADA ramp offers universal accessibility and immerses visitors in the natural environment as they enter the space, peacefully veiling the hustle and bustle of the busy, adjacent, at-grade streetscape.
在Fareground廣場中，工人們種植了大量的當地植物，從而形成有趣的植物搭配場景，創造了一片綠色和舒適的空間環境。設計師在這片區域運用了合成草坪，來減少了水的使用和後期的維護成本。設計師利用回收和當地的花崗岩覆蓋了原有的牆壁，整合新舊建築。混凝土步道、廣場、樓梯和當地製造的金屬配件都有自己的特色。各種座位和聚會空間為使用者提供休閒、就餐、聊天和工作的場所。自由固定木長凳和平臺結合著景觀小品，增強了廣場的靈活性。這一系列交織在一起的室外空間滿足了人們的需求，同時該廣場也可以用於舉辦大型活動。
Fareground utilizes a dramatic botanical plant palette of native and adapted species to create a verdant and comfortable setting in the midst of the built environment. Synthetic lawn is used strategically in densely shaded areas to reduce water usage and limit maintenance costs. Reclaimed and locally sourced granite is used to clad new and existing walls to integrate the new design with the old building. High fly-ash concrete walks, plaza and stairs are accented with custom, locally fabricated metal works. A variety of seating options and scales of gathering spaces provide lounging, dining, chatting and working opportunities for users. Custom, fixed wooden benches and decking are complemented by mobile furnishings to enhance the flexibility of the plaza. This series of intertwined outdoor rooms meets the needs of individuals and groups and can alternatively be used as a collective to accommodate large events.
雲景（Cloudscape）是Fareground廣場的標誌，從建築物的空調凝結而成的水可以產生雲朵效果，形成了奪目的視覺標誌。設計師利用先進的技術，通過巨大的壓力，讓水流從12個細長的高塔中噴出，並進行霧化，創造了一座雕塑，展示了光線、模糊且運動的空間效果。雲景（Cloudscape）是該項目的互動中心，其中包含了可持續說明、公共藝術、戲劇娛樂、品牌和創新方法。
Cloudscape, Fareground’s iconic water feature, quite literally creates clouds from water collected from the building’s AC-condensation and creates a powerful visual beacon. Utilizing state of the art technology, water is atomized at incredible pressure from twelve tall, slender pylons to create a sculpture that reveals the quality of light, opacity and movement. Cloudscape is the interactive centerpiece of the project and encompasses a sustainable statement, public art, theatrical entertainment, branding and innovative wayfinding.
Nimbus是一種定製設計和裝配的遮陽結構，為使用者遮擋陽光，當雲朵在空中漂浮時，它們還會對周圍環境做出相應反應。這種遮陽結構還帶有圖案，通過不同的光線形成獨特的光影效果，同時，其形態也呼應了廣場地形。
Nimbus, the custom-designed and fabricated shade structure, provides relief from exposure and the immense scale of the adjacent tower as it meets the plaza floor. As clouds move through valleys, they respond to their surroundings. Nimbus, in turn, folds as a response to the angular topography of the site while the patterned canopy creates stylized dappled light.
廣場的改造與建築內部大廳的裝修完美地融合在一起，設計師還在寫字樓中引入了美食廣場。美食廣場內以奧斯丁最具代表性的當地餐館和廚師為特色，在工作時間和夜晚，這裡便成為人們的社交活動中心。Fareground廣場為奧斯汀的人們提供了全新的中心場所，這裡似乎是一個小社會，居民、工作人員、遊客都能夠各得其所。
The plaza transformation is blended seamlessly with an interior lobby renovation that introduces a gourmet food court into the office tower. Featuring some of Austin’s most iconic local restaurants and chefs, the food hall activates the interior with a hub of social activity, during work hours and at night. Fareground provides a new heart of downtown for the current Austin population — a social, active and urban, cross-section of residents, employees and visitors.
Fareground廣場成功地將一個未被充分利用的辦公廣場改造成一座充滿活力的、誘人的、開放的城市空間。它模糊了公共空間和私人空間之間的界限，並通過獨特的、可持續的設計將歡樂融合到工作場所之中。設計團隊將視覺感受、主導因素等空間要素整合在一起，體現了城市景觀的特徵，同時也起到了景觀城市化的動態和變革作用。
Fareground successfully transformed an unutilized, sunken office plaza into a vibrant, inviting, urban, open space, blurring the line between public and private spaces and seamlessly braiding convivial activity into the workplace through a distinctive, sustainable design. Fareground embodies stewardship of the urban landscape through vision, leadership and an integrated and collaborative design team that embraced the dynamic and transformative role of landscape urbanism.
