项目概况:

Funen Park located in Amsterdam’s city centre is designed by LANDLAB in 1999-2010 and covers an area of 4 ha. A quarter, that in contrast to so many Dutch residential neighborhoods, with their traditional lay-out of streets, pavements,parking spaces, front and back gardens, should be landscaped differently.LANDLAB take this challenge and proposes to leave this traditional layout andto conceive the area around the sixteen newly built apartment blocks as one,continuous courtyard. Design an open parkland consisting of just three main ingredients: grass, pavement,and scattered trees. From these ingredients the pavement gets the particular attention as it is the ideal to both allow residents and passers-by to wander freely through space and to make Funen’s outdoor space distinct from its surroundings. To achieve so, design an intensive network of paths made of two specially designed pentagonal concrete paving stones in three shades of grey.These are laid down in a random fashion which results in a directionless, rugged pattern that looks like a unidirectional stretched fishnet from above. The widened meshes in the west result in an oblong shaped zone of open park space,which forms the transition zone between the open Funenpark and the enclosed Czar Peter neighborhood in the west. The meshes of the net consistout of grass planted with scattered groups of Robinia pseudoacacia and odd daffodils. The transparent crowns of the Robinias go well with the architectureand their bright green color contrasts nicely with the architectures brick andglass facades. The simplicity of combining three ingredients resulted in an outdoor space is experienced as continuous and as such binds together landscapeand architecture.
