项目背景

Project Background

普拉汉广场是澳大利亚最大的城市公共领域项目之一。原有的停车场被改造成一个多元化的公共领域，包括步行街、中央活动广场、公园和花园空间、艺术、综合零售和社区设施以及地下公共停车场。  

普拉汉广场的设计满足了客户的两个关键目标：创造一个安全和灵活的公共开放空间，并为增加停车位提供解决方案。其目的是在一个不起眼的停车场中创造一个有意义、功能性的公共空间，并将其重新想象成一个多样化的社区公共领域。

Prahran Square is one of Australia’s largest urban public realm projects. The pre-existing car park was transformed into a diverse public realm of pedestrianised streets, a central event square, park and garden spaces, art, integrated retail and community facilities and an underground public car park.  

The design for Prahran Square met two critical client objectives: creating a safe and flexible public open space and providing a solution for increased car parking. The purpose was to create a meaningful and functional public space out of an unremarkable car park, reimagined into a diverse public realm for the community.

设计理念

Design Concept

普拉汉广场结合了城市公园、广场、街道、停车场和零售空间，根据这个定义，它的用途是多种多样的。该广场已经改变了一个社区，突出了城市设计的贡献和真正的潜力。  

通过移除地面上的停车场，并在两层地下停车场中创造了500个车位，这也为新广场创造了机会。广场的边缘没有完全脱离地面，而是被抬高形成街景，让自然光进入下面的停车场，促进与街道的视觉联系。

Prahran Square combines urban park, square, streets, car park and retail spaces and by this definition its uses are varied. It has already transformed a community, highlighting the contribution and true potential of Urban Design.  

By removing car parking from the ground plane and creating 500 car spaces in two levels of underground car parking, created the opportunity for the new Square. Instead of completely disconnecting the car park from the ground level, the edges of the square were raised to form streetscapes allowing natural light into the car park below, facilitating visual connections to the street.

设计亮点

Design Highlights

外广场独特的 "带状 "形式被用来策划一系列多样化的城市景观体验。西部边缘是从当地泥岩岩石景观中出现的茂密种植“森林”景观的斜坡。一条通道穿过原生树木和草丛，并连接到一系列私密花园、休息和观赏点以及游乐区。

The distinctive ‘ribbon’ form of the outer square is used to curate a diverse set of urban landscape experiences. The western edge is a slope of densely planted ‘forest’ landscape emerging from a local mudstone rock-scape. An access path weaves through native trees and grasses and connects to a series of intimate gardens, rest and viewing spots and a playspace.

南边是一个缓坡、朝北的开阔草坪，是理事会举办社区活动的理想场所。东部边缘提供了一个可容纳多达1,500人的大型圆形剧场式座位，并有小块的树丛和密集的底层植物作为遮荫和特色。

The southern edge is a gently sloped, open north-facing lawn, ideal for council-run community events. The eastern edge offers a large-scale amphitheatre-style seating for up to 1,500 people, with pockets of tree groves and dense underplanting for shade and character.

广场的北边是一个可食用的花园，与一个新的公共图书馆和社区活动室相邻。公共座椅和餐桌从Wattle街的边缘延伸出来，使人们可以进入花园空间。

The Square’s northern edge is an edible garden that adjoins a new public library and community room. Public seating and dining tables extend from the edge of Wattle Street and allow people to filter into the garden space.

随着城市的不断发展和工作-生活模式进入一个新的时代，我们对公共开放空间的需求变得越来越大。这些新的城市广场和城市公园的混合体是我们专业将继续设计和引领未来的空间。 

As cities continue to grow and work-life patterns shift into a new era, our collective open space needs become even more increased. These new hybrids of urban square and urban park are the spaces that our profession will continue to design and lead into the future.
