“Domino Park on the Williamsburg waterfront in Brooklyn is an example of what has become common in the era of limited city park budgets: a privately built and managed public space.The $50 million, 5-acre park achieves multiple goals: it is an attraction for residents of the new 11-acre mixed-use development surrounding the site, a public amenity, and a bulwark against rising tides. As part of a broader deal with the NYC government that enabled them to expand the total square footage of the development, the developer Two Trees agreed to design, build, and maintain the new public park, with the guidance of the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation.”

受社区参与和场地丰富历史的启发,多米诺公园将威廉斯堡社区与东河重新建立联系,这是过去160年间的第一次。项目第一阶段是11英亩(44515.42平方米)的旧多米诺糖厂的改造,占地5英亩(20234.28平方米)的公园将30多处遗留的工业遗迹整合为述说历史、具有教育意义的“人工遗迹步道”,其中包括21个来自原生糖仓库、门式起重机、螺旋输送机、斗式输送机和糖浆的柱状物,用以彰显纽约最为标志性的工业滨水空间之一的历史。可持续性和回弹性措施对于多米诺公园的设计、建造及长期的管理而言至关重要。公园建在高于联邦应急管理局规定的洪水位的位置,有很多当地植物减少雨水径流,像吸水海绵一样作为保护社区的第一道屏障。
Domino Park is the first phase of the transformation of the former Domino Sugar Factory site along Brooklyn’s East River into an ambitious mixed-use development project by Two Trees Management. Inspired by extensive community input, Domino Park reconnects the Williamsburg neighborhood to the East River for the first time in 160 years, by drawing public streets through to the river. The 5-acre riverfront park showcases the history of an iconic industrial waterfront site by integrating over 30 large-scale salvaged relics, including 21 original columns from the Raw Sugar Warehouse, gantry cranes, screw conveyors, bucket conveyors and syrup tanks into an interpretive and educational “Artifact Walk.” The park is raised above FEMA flood elevations with many native plant species that reduce stormwater runoff and function as an absorbent sponge, providing the first line of resilience against storm surge.

多米诺糖厂项目更新的历史背景
Background on the Domino Sugar Redevelopment
自2004 年多米诺糖厂关闭后,由于城市、社区利益相关者以及从多米诺购买场地的开发团队就重建计划进行着长期辩论,这个 11 英亩的场地就一直处于“休眠”状态。最终,纽约市在 2010 年批准了用于住宅的用地性质更改,但在Two Trees开发管理公司在 2012 年收购土地时,该更改计划尚未实施。为了创建一个更好的重建计划,更好地满足这个多元化社区的需求,Two Trees于 2013 年启动了一个新的公众审批程序。由于具有广泛性和包容性的服务扩张,新提出的开发计划于 2014 年获得了批准。这些改进的计划包括将地标建筑多米诺制糖厂区域用于创意办公空间的适应性再利用、四个共能容纳 700 套经济适用房的混合用途住宅楼,以及一个占地 5 英亩(约2万平方米)并将社区与滨水区重新连接起来的带状公园,为当地居民提供了急需的开放空间,同时在原位置纪念和庆祝纽约制糖业的历史。
“Following the closure of the Domino Sugar Factory in 2004, this 11-acre site sat dormant as plans for redevelopment were debated by the City, community stakeholders and the development team that purchased the site from Domino. Ultimately, the City approved a residential rezoning in 2010. This plan had not yet been executed when Two Trees Management Company acquired the land in 2012. In an effort to create an improved redevelopment plan that better served the needs of this diverse community, a new public approval process was initiated by Two Trees in 2013. As a result of broad and inclusive outreach, new development plans were approved in 2014. These improved plans include the adaptive reuse of the Landmarked Domino Refinery for creative office space, four new mixed-use residential buildings that will house 700 units of affordable housing, and a five-acre linear park reconnecting the community to the waterfront and providing much-needed open space for local residents, while honoring and celebrating the history of the sugar trade in NYC. “
2018 年 6 月多米诺公园的正式营业标志着Two Trees管理公司兑现了向北威廉斯堡社区提供 6 英亩公共开放空间的承诺。多米诺公园由Two Trees管理公司与景观建筑公司 James Corner Field Operations 合作构思。多米诺公园是一个无与伦比的四分之一英里长的带状开放公园,位于威廉斯堡大桥以北,环抱纽约最具标志性的滨水工业区的历史 。
第一座混合用途建筑 Kent街325号 由SHoP Architects设计,并已于 2017 年开业。它包括 520 套公寓(其中 105 套由低收入居民居住),以及当地的优秀零售商如 Sky Ting Yoga、Mekelburg’s、一家餐厅由米其林星级厨师Missy Robbins主持的餐厅、Modern Chemist和一家当地葡萄酒商店。第二座混合用途建筑,由住宅区域1S1和商业办公区域Ten Grand Street组成,已于 2019 年开业。这座位于公园北端的建筑由 COOKFOX Architects设计,包括混合收入公寓、办公空间和社区零售,最受欢迎的商业包括 Roberta’s、Two Hands 餐厅以及设计商店 Beam等。
“The June 2018 opening of Domino Park represents the early fulfillment of a pledge by Two Trees Management Company to deliver 6-acres of public open space to the North Williamsburg community. Conceived by Two Trees in partnership with landscape architecture firm James Corner Field Operations, the lead designers of the High Line, Domino Park is an unrivaled quarter-mile public park located just north of the Williamsburg Bridge that celebrates the history of one of New York’s most iconic industrial waterfront sites.
The first mixed use building, 325 Kent, was designed by SHoP Architects and opened in 2017. It includes 520 apartments, 105 of which are occupied by low income residents, as well as exceptional local retailers like Sky Ting Yoga, Mekelburg’s, a restaurant by Michelin-star chef Missy Robbins, Modern Chemist, and a local wine store. The second mixed-use building, comprised of the residential One South First and the commercial Ten Grand Street, opened in 2019. This building on the North end of the park, designed by COOKFOX Architects, includes mixed income apartments, office space and neighborhood retail favorites including the eateries Roberta’s and Two Hands and the design store Beam.”

/ Effective Public Space
公共绿地的可达性与可使用性
Accessiblity and Usability of Public Green
公共绿地作为公共空间中的重要组成部分,承载了很大的社交功能。软质的界面属性和柔和的色彩属性让人们对公共绿地有着很强的“侵入欲望”。而很多情况下由于政策因素、活动因素、面积因素等各种各样的原因导致公共绿地变成了一个可达性并没有那么高的区域,要么沦为计算指标的甚至没有任何光照的死面积,要么变成了“圈地为王”的定位介质。想要让公共绿地真正开放,各种因素的协调必不可少。
人们是否愿意进入公共绿地?在合理的设计下答案应当是肯定的。在混凝土和钢筋环绕的城市中,绿地本身的重要性自然不可否定,与自然景观和人工活动场所相结合的绿地自然成为城市和社区中的休憩之所,快节奏的城市生活也在特定的界面与区域被放慢。
绿地本身是一片较为连续的小空间,它的指向性相对较弱,无论朝向哪个方向都显得十分合理,人们能够自由地在这块区域活动、社交。而公园中的座椅设置也在不同程度上“暗地里”提供了一定的指向性,人们在座位上看什么,聊什么,也是与其有所关联的。

/ Industrial Spirit in Landscape Form
构架感在整体园区的体现
Industrial Skeleton in the Park
公园通过保留原有制糖厂中建筑的部分钢架结构与机械设施作为出发点,将整体的工业感在河滨初步建立,通过不同的涂装、增建,辅以上下交流或是穿插布置的景观步道、块状绿地进行结合,形成了无论是从平面上看还是从空间上看都十分具有工厂的“程式”质感。
景观设施
Landscape Forms & Artifact
原来工厂的螺旋输送机、斗式输送机和提升桥等各种机械设施与场地装置都在原来制糖厂的运作中起到了不同部分的重要作用,这些部件被重新漆蓝之后变为公园中的景观构件与艺术品,不仅保留有原来工厂的气息,更让整个公园区域拥有了统一的设计语言。装置们不仅仅作为结构构件,更变成具有互动性,观赏性的公园设施,“可靠近”显然是很重要的。
结合工业构架元素的活动设施布置
Industrialized Activity and Playground Setup
威廉斯堡里新建的多米诺公园里有纽约最吸睛且最创新的游乐场之一,由著名艺术家Mark Reigelman设计的多米诺公园游乐场。人们通常称多米诺游乐园为Sweetwater。为了向多米诺糖厂和其制糖历史致敬,孩子们可通过的游乐场的每一个部分,都代表着制糖过程中的一环。这些游乐场里的小家伙们可以在他们的游乐场之旅里爬坡,在管道,传送带和弹射滑梯之间穿梭。(文字来自设计师,翻译文字来自谷德设计网gooood.cn)
餐饮场景与公园景观
F&B with Landscape
Tacocina是由前纽约设计事务所MP Shift设计的墨西哥taco户外餐厅,“隐藏”于钢架之下,餐厅用很小的体量将一个快餐店融入公园之中,丰富的色彩与公园的主色调蓝色相互搭配,也融入了公园植被的多种颜色之中,巨大的招牌也个人带来制糖工厂的质感(品牌形象设计师为Grace Diebel)。
/ 在公园里应该有的心情
/ Your Mood in the Park Matters
公园再好,更重要的是使用者的心情,唯有能给人带来快乐的空间,才是好的公共空间。
多米诺公园作为新兴的城市、社区、开发商共建的公共开放公园,将城市的空间共享方式拓宽,空间属性的定位也有所变化,如何有效地去“占领”城市空间,或是如何去占领“有效的”公共开放空间,都是值得在开发、设计时思考的问题。
