哈雷摩托工厂变身开放社区公园，Heatherwick公布最新改造方案

Heatherwick Studio与哈雷戴维森公司与今年1月宣布，计划将哈雷戴维森在密尔沃基总部的一个核心区域——朱诺大道园区改造成一个公共公园，为员工和当地社区每个人提供一个市民绿色聚会空间。Heatherwick Studio将受委托负责该项目的整体创意设计。

Heatherwick Studio and Harley-Davidson today announce plans to transform a central element of Harley-Davidson’s Headquarters in Milwaukee; Juneau Avenue campus, into a public park to benefit its employees and its hometown community. Overseeing the overall creative delivery of the project, Heatherwick Studio, has been commissioned to conceive a design that will transform the concrete site into a civic and soulful green gathering space that can be used by everyone, including employees and the local community.

Thomas Heatherwick表示，“我们的愿景是将这片历史悠久的工厂用地变成密尔沃基人民的新公共公园，我们期望打造一个令人兴奋的社区空间，人们可以与朋友、家人一起，在饮食、表演和游玩中体验大自然，以突显近西区（Near West Side）的新生活。”

“Our goal is to turn this historic factory land into a new public park for the people of Milwaukee. We want to make an exciting community space where people can come together with friends and family and experience the wildness of nature alongside spaces for food, performance and play. The ambition is to highlight and celebrate renewed life in the Near West Side of this very special city,” said Thomas Heatherwick.

公园的中心是一个下沉式的多用途活动空间，宽83米（约272英尺），设有分层座位，周围环绕着茂密的植物和树木。该设计促进了社区、骑行者和员工之间的和谐理念。它的圆形布局是由摩托车车道和转弯道、停车位、人行道、植物和座椅以及360度的观景点组合而成的。该中心将用10种当地的砖、天然瓦棱木和带有温暖古铜色的风化钢建造。

At the heart of the park is “The Hub”, a sunken multi-use events space, 83 meters (approximately 272 feet) wide with tiered seating, set among lush plants and trees. The design promotes the idea of togetherness for the community, riders and employees alike. Its circular layout is defined by a combination of motorcycle driveways and turning circles, parking bays, sidewalks, plants and seats, and 360-degree viewpoints. The Hub will be built with 10 types of locally sourced brick, natural wany-edge timber, and weathered steel with a beautifully warm patina.

人们将在一侧看到哈雷戴维森公司原址上优美的砖瓦建筑的景观，而在另一侧将看到一个拥有120种本地植物的公园，包括了20种树木和100种多年生植物，其中一些是位于福雷斯郡的Potawatomi部落的圣物。并且，本案还计划在这里建造一条市场街、冥想花园和自然游乐场。

In one direction, the Hub will provide views of the handsome brick buildings of the original home of Harley-Davidson. In the other, visitors will see a park sown with 120 native plant species, including 20 species of trees and 100 species of perennials, some of which are sacred to the Forest County Potawatomi. There are also plans for a market street, contemplative garden, and nature playground.

该项目最初由哈雷戴维森基金会监督和资助，并在未来提供长期的赞助和捐助机会，以进一步加强该项目的建设。在整个项目中，Heatherwick将作为设计监工，并与当地的公司进行合作：密尔沃基建筑公司HGA为项目提供土木工程、景观、照明和技术支持；而Greenfire管理服务公司，作为一个近西区（Near West Side）的商业公司以及多元化的供应商，确保项目落地，使其成为密尔沃基景观的重要组成部分。该项目既反映了哈雷戴维森的价值观，也反映了其对社区的转型愿景。

The initial development will be overseen and funded by The Harley-Davidson Foundation with longer-term sponsorship and donor-opportunities, to further enhance the project, being made available in the future. Throughout the project, Heatherwick will act as Design Guardian, collaborating with local firms. HGA, a Milwaukee architectural firm, as architect of record providing civil engineering, landscape, lighting, and technology design. Greenfire Management Services, a Near West Side business and diverse supplier will ensure the project realizes its potential to become an important part of the Milwaukee landscape that reflects both Harley-Davidson’s values and its transformative aspirations for the community.

该社区公园的开发将于2023年春季破土动工，2024年夏季可供使用。

The community park development is set to break ground in spring of 2023 with the park available for use by summer 2024.
