卡尔加里的中央纪念公园是在20世纪初卡尔加里的第一次大繁荣中开发的,以显示一个年轻城市的自信和乐观,这种精神一直保持到今天。在成立后的一个世纪里,随着该地区的重大变化,正式的维多利亚式花园的精心设计的花园和几何路径已失去光泽。人行道公民日光馆的雄心壮志是为中央纪念公园重新注入活力,提供一个全年的餐饮和活动空间,将公园与城市以及城市与公园联系起来。

Calgary’s Central Memorial Park was developed during Calgary’s first major boom at the turn of the 20th century to show the confidence and optimism of a young city, which is a spirit that remains to this day. In the century since its inception, following significant changes to the area, the elaborate gardens and geometric pathways of the formal Victorian gardens have lost their luster. The ambition of the Sidewalk Citizen Solarium is to reinvigorate Central Memorial Park with a year-round dining and event space that connects the park to the city and the city to the park.

该建筑的新入口大厅作为前门,是与城市的直接联系。为了向公园的特色致敬,入口大厅采用了可变孔径模式,其灵感来自于公园历史上的纪念公园图书馆的立面细节。丰富的自然光和可控的气候促进了几种植物的生长,包括无花果树、柠檬丛和许多其他亚热带植物。从清晨的第一缕阳光开始,半透明的包层就以柔和的漫射自然光充斥着整个空间,全天冲刷着餐厅的顾客和植物。

The building’s new entry hall serves as a front door and a direct link to the city. As a nod to the character of the park, the entry hall is clad with a variable aperture pattern inspired by façade details on the park’s historic Memorial Park Library. Abundant natural light and controlled climate foster the growth of several species of plants, including a fig tree, a lemon bush, and many other subtropical plants. From the first light in the morning, the translucent cladding floods the space with a soft, diffuse natural light, washing over the restaurant’s patrons and plants throughout the day.

该结构的设计和建模采用了参数化的方式,以确保高水平的可迭代性,保持精确的公差和准确性,并实现从设计到制造再到现场组装的无缝过渡。整个格子结构需要160张胶合板(或4700平方英尺的材料),经过150个数控小时的铣削(见上面的切割片),以及450英尺长的木钉来连接各部分。

The structure was designed and modeled parametrically in order to ensure a high level of iterability, maintain precise tolerances and accuracy, and seamlessly transition from design to fabrication to onsite assembly. The entire lattice structure required 160 sheets of plywood (or 4,700 square feet of material) milled over 150 CNC hours (see cut sheets above), as well as 450 linear feet of dowel to connect the pieces.

胶合板的尺寸限制和数控切割床要求层压板由多块组成,它们交错排列,以避免相交的接缝和结构上的薄弱点,然后用木榫头层压。构成日光浴室屋顶和墙壁的木格子结构完全由3/4英寸的杉木胶合板制成,由Studio North在内部进行数控原型制作和铣削。胶合板组件用木榫压合,形成连续的结构件,作为整个结构的柱子和椽子发挥作用。

The size constraints of the plywood panels and CNC cutting bed required that the laminated panels be composed of multiple pieces, which are staggered to avoid intersecting seams and structural weak points and then laminated with wood dowels. The wood lattice structure that forms the roof and walls of the solarium is made entirely of 3/4” fir plywood CNC prototyped and milled in-house by Studio North. The plywood components are laminated with wood dowels to form continuous structural members that function as both columns and rafters across the structure.

刚性框架通过交叉铰接的方式简单地拼接在一起,便于现场组装。在车库门和入口处等大跨度的地方,暴露的层压单板木材补充了格子天棚结构。当阴影投射在建筑的屋顶上时,大教堂般的空间在斑驳的光线下变得生动起来,在一天中不断变化。坐在后面往上看,屋顶和墙壁蜿蜒的结构线条吸引着人们的目光从空间的一侧游走到另一侧。到了晚上,灯光从木格子结构中射出,照亮了它周围的公园。

The rigid frames simply slot together using cross-halved joints which allow for ease of onsite assembly. Over large spans such as the garage door and entryway, exposed laminated veneer lumber supplements the lattice canopy structure. As shadows are cast on the building’s roof, the cathedral-like space is animated by the dappled light, constantly shifting throughout the day. Sitting back and looking up, the sinuous structural lines of the roof and walls invite the eye to wander from one side of the space to the other. At night, light emanates from the wooden lattice structure, illuminating the park around it.
