“围裹于沉闷而乏味的建筑群中,IBM广场显得格外醒目,其景观设计堪称佳作。” ——2015年ASLA专业奖评语
"In the midst of ho-hum architecture, the IBM plaza pops out: All of a sudden there is a masterpiece." - 2015 Awards Jury
项目概述
受到建筑固有现代外观的启发,IBM维多利亚沃德大楼前的这处全新绿化开放空间,以景观设计为主要手法,向人们传递着现代夏威夷的建筑特色与丰厚的文化历史底蕴。IBM大楼历史性建筑的设计出自夏威夷杰出的现代主义建筑设计师弗拉基米尔·欧斯伯夫之手,而其全新景观绿化空间也处处渗透着夏威夷独特的自然风情,是檀香山中心城区占地60余英亩(约24公顷)的大型综合总体规划项目的引导性工程之一。
项目描述
该绿化广场空间采用各种景观设计手法,以达到景观与建筑的完美交融,尤其在地面铺装上,凭借全新的挑高水景设计,与建筑外观达到高度的视觉统一,同时也体现了对欧斯伯夫精妙设计的一种敬意。多年来,这里的原生景观风貌并未得到充分展现,直到此次对这处户外沥青停车场空地的重新设计,其原生景观魅力才得以完美重现。透过全新的门廊视角,典型的夏威夷景观跃然眼前,这个巧妙铰接于一体的灵动户外空间,远离城市的喧嚣,俨然一处理想的日常社交场所。以流线状水景铺覆的前庭空间,营造出海岸线般的灵动视觉,与毗连的海景相互映衬。地面铺装材料选用相同的火山岩,却呈现出三种不同的动态视觉质感,夏威夷本土化地域特色得以充分体现。此外,这些石质铺材——或经抛光,湛蓝的天空倒映其上;或经炼制,俯瞰虽糙却也微光闪现;或经劈制,侧面略显粗质——在昼夜更替间变换着各式光亮。
贯穿整个项目场地的流线地面铺装,在无形中通过全新的方式延展了建筑外观的视觉范围。以海滩边缘的纵聚合冲浪板阵列为设计原型,硬质景观与本土草种相互交织,与项目场地的生态史进行着无声的互动。
该项目景观设计,以植入与建筑主体本身相关的历史性及视觉性元素为基础,大力宣扬了夏威夷独特的空间设计理念,同时也折射出当地的人文风情。景观设计师通过造访一些夏威夷当地民众,对这种独特的空间设计理念及其悠久的历史传说有了更为深入的了解。依据夏威夷的传统说法,人类来源于天父地母,他们降生的第一个孩子是“芋头”,而后才有了人类,创造人类的目的是为了让他们照料“芋头”。设计师们透过这个神话故事,了解了水和光的具象体现:光线透过水景的玻璃底船向下方的地被植物传递光源。
挑高式水景成就了项目场地的全方位视觉体验连接,同时也是对周边海景与多变的岛屿气候的一种景观诠释。通过与建筑体形成的全新视觉交融,该水景的设计充分呈现了照射在建筑外墙上光线漫妙的移动轨迹,并投影为连接景观与建筑的全新动态水平光源。这一集视觉与听觉于一体的水平水景屏障有效将汽车噪音和停车场地面铺砖的污染隔绝开去,并与毗邻的阿拉莫尔那大道远处海滩上起伏的波浪交相辉映。水景映射出白昼与夜幕下的建筑轮廓和天空景象,钢质小渠显得格外醒目。建筑外观与水流景观渠形成理想的整体视觉连接,营造出整个绿化广场漂浮于空中的视觉错觉。水流景观渠通过挑高式喷泉边缘沿线的成排排水口获取水源。
植物与石景的简洁搭配,形成项目场地周边夏威夷自然植栽风貌的精致缩影。水、玻璃、金属及各种生物体都沐浴在灿烂的夏威夷阳光下。整个绿化广场的设计利用动态环境脉络,记录下日出、日落、下雨等夏威夷自然气象状况。该绿化景观广场是夏威夷第一个现代化设计,将所有原生及本土化植物囊括其中,充分展现给游人们城市环境中的夏威夷生态。就其本身而言,该设计为集夏威夷自然、历史和人文元素于一体的维多利亚沃德大楼的进一步发展奠定了良好的基础。

Project Statement
Inspired by the existing modernist fa?ade, the new courtyard at IBM Victoria Ward tower showcases a landscape expression of modern Hawaiian architectural motifs and powerful cultural history. The historic IBM tower was designed by Vladimir Ossipoff—Hawaii's quintessential modernist. The new landscape is a distilled expression of Hawaiian identity and serves as an introduction to a larger mixed-use master plan of over 60 acres in central Honolulu.
Project Narrative
Providing new ways of engaging with the architecture, the courtyard design pays homage to Ossipoff's fa?ade pattern in the paving of its ground plane and in a new elevated water feature. The original landscape was never fully realized, and until this redesign Ossipoff's beautiful building sat in an asphalt parking lot. As viewed from the new Lanai—a vernacular Hawaiian landscape typology—the subtly articulated courtyard allows for flexibility for events and everyday use, ultimately creating a place of respite from the urban edge. The linear water feature screens the foreground while creating a linkage to the ocean's horizon line and reflecting the play and ephemerality of light throughout the day. Paving patterns reveal three dynamic qualities of the same volcanic stone, rooting the site in Hawaii's geologic origin. The stone's surface treatments—honed, which catches the light of the sky; flamed, which appears matte but shimmers when viewed from above; and split-faced, which exposes rugged depth—are expressed through the patterned courtyard, and register the transforming light through the day and night.
Scalar shifts in the patterning throughout the site allow users to discover new ways of engaging with the architecture and the site at large. The hardscape interweaves with permeable, native 'lawn board' plantings, referencing the paradigmatic surfboard array at the beach's edge and speaking to the ecological history of the site.
Beyond rooting the design in the historical and visual context of the existing building, the landscape celebrates Hawaii's creation myth to create a space that speaks to the cultural history as well. The landscape architects met with Native Hawaiian descendants to help articulate physical expressions of this sacred oral history. In the traditional Hawaiian narrative, people descend from Earth Mother and Sky Father, whose earthly children were first Taro, and then Man—created to care for Taro. The mysticism of this creation story is dynamically expressed through the patterns of water and light as the sky father is projected through the glass bottom of the water feature onto the taro plantings and earth mother below.
The water feature—an elevated datum—is a visual and experiential connection to the site's context and an expression of the surrounding sea and ever-changing island sky. Providing new ways of engaging with the architecture, the water feature showcases moving reflections of light that capture the fa?ade and project it as a new dynamic horizon line for the site that bridges landscape and architecture. Automobile noise and paving are obscured by this audible and visual screen. The waves of the beach beyond Alamoana Boulevard seem to crash directly onto the water's surface. The water reflects its architectural muse and the sky during the day and at night it transforms, emphasizing the pattern of its steel runnels. The architectural patterning integrates further as water spills into a moat that wraps the space, creating an illusion that the courtyard floats in the sky. The moat is fed by the cascade of scuppers dancing along the elevated fountain edge.
The minimalist palate of plants and stone expresses a distillation of the materiality and plantings of the surrounding Hawaiian landscape. The distinct Hawaiian sunlight is translated through different mediums—water, glass, metal, and living materials. Harnessing the dynamic environmental context, the courtyard design registers the sunrise, sunset, rain, and ephemeral quality of the Hawaiian light. The landscape is the first contemporary design in Hawaii to showcase all native and endemic plant species, educating visitors about Hawaiian ecologies in an urban context. As such, the design sets the stage for future development of the Victoria Ward that engages natural, historical and cultural histories of Hawaii.
