曼彻斯特KAMPUS社区：营造社区底层的秘密花园 / Mecanoo

设计单位  Mecanoo

项目地点  英国曼彻斯特

建成时间  2021年

总建筑面积  44000平方米

KAMPUS是一个新的社区，位于城市中心，前身是曼彻斯特城市大学校园。设计利用现有的建筑结构——运河边的维多利亚时代砖砌仓库和建于1964年的混凝土塔楼——创造了新的连接和目的地，展示其在城市街区尺度上发展的可能性。该社区是很多建筑与空间的融合体，在包容城市活力和多样性的同时，也尊重运河街的历史特质。

KAMPUS is a new neighbourhood located at the former Manchester Metropolitan University campus in the heart of the city. Utilising the qualities of the existing built structures – Victorian brick canal-side warehouses and the 1964 concrete tower – presents the opportunity to develop at the city block scale, creating new connections and a new destination. A melting pot of buildings and spaces, KAMPUS will celebrate the vibrancy and diversity of the city with respect to the historic quality of Canal Street.

像素和荷兰式房屋

项目中的建筑体块高度不一，每个立面都清晰可见。立面不同高度上开设有孔洞，减少了砖块立面带来的尺度感。孔洞处的轻像素元素使用则平衡了立面效果，为其增添了轻松感。

The architecture expresses the individual building blocks with variations in height to make each facade legible. The alternating positions of accentuated apertures in the facade work to reduce the scale of the brick mass while the light pixel elements add relief and balance to the facades.

建筑在水平方向上被划分为三个不同的部分：下部分被深色金属板包裹，中间部分则是带有粗糙纹理的红色砖墙，上部分则参考了具有荷兰建筑特色的屋顶，由金属板制成。

The buildings are horizontally divided into three distinct elements: a podium with dark profiled metal cladding, a mid-section with rough textured red brickwork, and a roofscape characterised by Dutch houses also clad in profiled metal.

秘密花园

底层以统一的形式凸显出新的建筑与塔楼，同时也在街道处创造了一个明确的边界。通透的底层空间可以让人们看到其中各种独立的酒吧、咖啡馆、商店和餐厅，使这里充满活力，形成独特的场所感。该社区以新的景观入口与外部相连，建筑间有趣的空间将人们吸引到社区核心：秘密花园。这里为午后的社交活动提供最佳场所。

The podium anchors the new build and tower elements in a consistent base while creating a defined edge to the street. A transparent plinth will provide views into a variety of independent bars, cafes, shops and restaurants that will breathe life into the scheme and create a unique sense of place. The newly landscaped entrances provide access to KAMPUS and the interesting spaces between the buildings will draw people into the heart of the scheme; a unique ‘secret garden’ that forms the perfect backdrop for afternoon and early evening social events.
