新时代–放松和激活的新方式–在日本的城市,城市发展密集,公共设施和便利设施已经发展到多种功能占据同一土地。这种密集的发展也意味着公园等开放空间受到珍视。此外,近来公共空间正在成为商业空间,而商业空间正在成为公共空间。这种公园、商业和酒店的融合创造了一个新的 “放松 “和 “活动 “的综合体,这也是人们真正渴望的。MIYASHITA PARK是一个从公共方面和商业方面提出关于在这个新时代 “公共空间 “的理想状态的项目。

A New Era – A new take on Relaxation and Activation – In Japanese cities, urban development is dense and public facilities and amenities have evolved whereby multiple functions occupy the same land. This dense development also means that open spaces such as parks are treasured. Furthermore, in recent times public spaces are becoming commercial spaces and commercial spaces are becoming public spaces. This fusion of parks, commerce, and hotels has created a new synthesis of “relaxation” and “activity” that people have really come to desire. MIYASHITA PARK is a project that raises issues from both the public side and the commercial side about the ideal state of “public space” in this new era.

宫下公园是一个通过PPP(公私合作)开发的综合设施,是对涉谷区宫下公园(1964年开放)的重建,它包括一个位于繁忙的铁路线旁的公共停车场之上的公园。在重建之前,由于人工地面的老化和长期以来的普遍恶化,该公园已成为地震易发区,并存在无障碍通道不足的问题。此外,还需要改善涩谷和原宿这两个著名商业区的设施,并为灾害做好准备,这已成为近年来东京的一个主要城市问题。除了公园和公共停车场的无障碍重建外,4层的零售店和18层的酒店也被纳入同一地点,实现了重大的城市改善,提高了东京中心的公共土地利用率。

MIYASHITA PARK is a complex facility developed through a PPP (Public-Private Partnership) as a reconstruction of Shibuya Ward Miyashita Park (opened in 1964), which comprised a park on top of a public parking lot alongside a busy rail line. Prior to reconstruction, the park had become earthquake-prone due to aging of the artificial ground and general deterioration over time and suffered from insufficient barrier-free access. There was also a need to improve the amenities of the renowned commercial areas of Shibuya and Harajuku, and to prepare for disasters, which have become a major urban issue of Tokyo in recent years. In addition to the accessible redevelopment of the park and public parking, 4 floors of retail and an 18-storied hotel were incorporated into the same site, realizing significant urban improvement and enhancing public land utilization in the center of Tokyo.

用 “天幕 “为涩谷定义一个新的标志性空间–为了在位于城市中心商业区的罕见的公共空间中同时实现 “涩谷式 “的公园活动,以及在不担心邻近铁轨上的树木倒下的情况下实现绿色植物的遮蔽,计划以拱形装饰的形式进行公园绿化,令人联想到凉亭天幕。界定公园空间的粗糙曲线已成为涩谷城市景观中的一个独特的新标志,将公园和零售设施统一和整合起来。它还作为一个 “Instagram时刻”,宣布游客已经 “来到MIYASHITA公园”。

Defining a New Iconic Space for Shibuya with a “Canopy” – In order to achieve both “Shibuya-like” park activities in a rare public space located in the central city commercial area and the shade of greenery without fear of falling trees on the adjacent railroad tracks, park greening in the form of an arched decoration reminiscent of an arbor canopy was planned. The rough curve that defines the space of the park has become a unique new symbol in the cityscape of Shibuya, unifying and integrating the park and retail facilities. It also serves as an “Instagram moment” to announce that visitors have “come to MIYASHITA PARK”.

“可行走的建筑 “改造了行人网络–这座总长约330米的狭长建筑,其结构可以从周围的任何地方轻松进入。为了实现这个城市内高度连接的公共空间,规划了循环路线,自然地将人流引向屋顶公园。通过两座人行桥的连接,一座在第三层横跨道路的桥,以及一个可进入的开放商场,这个四层楼的城市福利设施已经很好地融入了城市的基础设施。

“Walkable Architecture” transforming the pedestrian network – This long and narrow building with a total length of about 330m has a structure that can be easily accessed from anywhere in the surrounding area. In order to realize this highly connected public space within the city, circulation routes were planned that naturally led foot traffic to the rooftop park. With two pedestrian bridge connections, a bridge that straddles the road at the third story level, and an accessible open mall, this four-storied urban amenity has been well integrated into the urban infrastructure of the city.

新常态的商业环境–以 “刺激与舒适交汇的四层楼公园 “的商业概念设计,大部分的零售产品由一个户外商场组成。餐馆主要采用大推拉门,并将他们的餐饮空间开放到宽敞的商场,摆放桌椅,用户可以选择享受户外环境。在这种零售环境中,人们可以放松地呼吸新鲜空气,同时向明治大街两旁的榉树绿色树冠望去,如果再加上不需要对商场的公共区域进行空调,那么就非常具有可持续性。这个计划是在Covid-19大流行之前提出和实现的,然而,它已被证明是一个很适合时代挑战的设计。

New Normal business environment – Designed with a commercial concept of “a four-story park where stimulation and comfort meet,” the majority of the retail offer consists of an outdoor mall. Restaurants predominantly incorporate large sliding doors and open their dining spaces into the spacious mall, putting out tables and chairs whereby users have the option to enjoy the outdoor environment. This retail environment where people can relax with fresh air while looking out into the green canopy of the zelkova trees lining Meiji-dori Street is very sustainable when combined also with no requirement to air-condition the common areas of the mall. This plan was proposed and realized prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, however, it has proven to be a design well suited to the challenges of the times.

在城市公园内建造酒店–将酒店纳入公共公园是日本的第一次,是通过创新的土地利用和 “多层次城市公园系统 “的应用而产生的。这在支持公园的运营方面和社区方面所带来的价值,即参观这个独特的 “公园体验 “的人们的多样性,只有通过公共和私营部门之间的合作框架和创新的设计方案才能实现。

Building a hotel within a city park – Incorporating a hotel into a public park is a first for Japan and came about through innovative land utilization and application of the “multilevel urban park system”. The value this brings in terms of supporting the operational side of the park and the community in terms of the diversity of people visiting this unique “park experience” is something that could only have been possible through the framework of collaboration between public and private sectors and the innovative design solutions this enabled.
