Heatherwick工作室设计的“小岛”作为纽约的新标志向公众免费开放，每天将从早上6点开放到凌晨1点。

Open daily from 6am until 1am, the Heatherwick Studio-designed ‘little island’ opens to the public as a new icon in New York.

公园从第13街延伸到哈德逊河，引入了雕塑和绿色空间。Heatherwick工作室与纽约风景园林公司MNLA合作，设计了宁静的空间、新的活动与演出场所，并提供欣赏城市美景的视野。这一2.6亿美元的项目在项目之初经历了混乱与争议，现为疫情以来纽约首批新开放的公园之一。

The free public park extends outward into the Hudson river from 13th street, introducing a sculptural and monumental green space. Heatherwick teamed with New York-based landscape architecture firm MNLA to curate serene spaces to explore, new venues for live performances and cultural events, and fantastic views of the city. While the $260 million project had a tumultuous and controversial start, it now marks one of the first parks to open in the city since the Covid-19 pandemic.

工作室以280个混凝土桩展现这个富有表现力的结构，这些混凝土桩排布于54号码头的剩余木桩之间，这些木桩被保存下来以维持水生生物的栖息地。

Heatherwick studio designs the expressive structure with 280 concrete piles, which emerge from in between the leftover wood piles of pier 54 that were largely preserved to maintain habitats for aquatic life.

在桩的顶部，132株混凝土“郁金香”组成了公园的结构。每一株郁金香的形状都是独特的，以不同的承重能力来承载土壤、草坪、树木和观景设施。奥雅纳的纽约团队作为工程公司，领导了公园独特的花盆结构的开发，以及公园下方设施和剧场基础设施的设计。

On top of the piles, 132 concrete ‘tulips’ make up the structure of the park. Each tulip’s shape is unique and has a different weight load capacity to hold the soil, lawns, overlooks, and trees. Arup’s New York city team served as the engineering firm, leading the structural development of the park’s unique pot structures, along with the design of the park’s subsurface and theatrical infrastructure.

MNLA的Signe Nielsen的景观设计在整个小岛上集成了超过350种花卉、树木和灌木。岛上有一个687个座位的圆形剧场、一个有座位和饮食售卖处的中央广场、一个私密的舞台，以及被称为“林间空地”的草坪空间。

The island is occupied by alongside a 687-seat amphitheater, a central plaza with seating, food, and beverages, an intimate stage, and lawn space dubbed the ‘glade.’

植物种类多样，提供了一个随季节变化的环境，有灌木和乔木，落叶树和常青树。目前这里已经种植了66000多棵球茎植物和114棵树，其中一些可以长到60英尺（约合18.3米）高。小岛以前被称为55号码头，主要由Diller - von Furstenberg家族基金会资助。

The plantings are varied to provide an environment that changes with the seasons, with flowing trees and shrubs, fall foliage and evergreens. More than 66,000 bulbs and 114 trees have been planted, some of which will grow to 60 feet tall. Previously known as pier 55, the Heatherwick studio-designed little island is primarily funded by the Diller – von Furstenberg family foundation.
