每年，5000多万只候鸟从南极地区沿着东亚-澳大利亚候鸟迁徙航道(EAAF)返回地球北端寻找食物和栖息地。作为全球八大贯穿南北半球的迁徙航道之一，EAAF上有包括黑尾塍鹬在内的全球五分之一的濒危水鸟在此飞行。 在沿海地区城市蓬勃建设发展的大环境下，鸟类栖息地与觅食范围逐渐消失，鸟类数量也在急剧下降。东亚-澳大利亚候鸟迁徙走廊现今正面临着前所未有的巨大挑战。

Each year more than 50 Million birds make the return journey from the Antarctic reaches to the northern tip of the earth along the East Asian-Australian Flyway (EAAF) seeking food and shelter.1 of 8 global north-south fly ways, the East Asian-Australian corridor is now the world’s most threatened due to loss of bird foraging habitat by coastal urbanisation. 1 in 5 globally threatened water birds including the Black-Tailed Godwit fly the EAAF but they are suffering rapid declines in population.

为了增加中国黄海海滨核心鸟类栖息地的数量，亚洲发展银行携手天津港，在临港地区的一块降解回填地上为拟建的湿地鸟类保护区举行了一场国际设计大赛。McGregor Coxall提出的世界上首个“候鸟机场”的设计在此次大赛中一举夺魁。

In a bid to increase critical bird habitat on the shores of the Yellow Sea in China, the Asian Development Bank encouraged the Port of Tianjin to embark upon an international design competition for a wetland bird sanctuary on a degraded land fill site in the Lingang area. McGregor Coxall have been awarded first prize in the competition with a design that proposes the world’s first migratory ‘Bird Airport’.

鉴于这块湿地对于中国、澳大利亚，乃至全球生态系统的重要意义，项目总体规划提出建设一块占地60公顷的湿地公园和鸟类保护区。由于部分鸟类不间断飞行超过11,000公里，并长达10天不进食饮水，候鸟机场将是东亚-澳大利亚候鸟迁徙航道上鸟类进行补给和繁衍的至关重要的一站。作为天津城市新建绿地公园的一部分，该项目将落实包括人工湿地、绿地公园及城市森林等绿色基础设施。 可再生能源被用于将净化过的废水和收集到的雨水引流向整个湿地。公共设施则包括湿地小径、环湖步道、自行车道和森林漫步道等，在此形成了一张贯通7公里的自然游憩观景路线网。

The masterplan recognises the importance of the site both to China, Australia and the earth’s ecosystems by proposing a 60 hectare wetland park and bird sanctuary. With some birds flying non-stop for more than 11,000km and up to 10 days without food or water, the airport will be a crucial re-fueling and breeding stop on the EAAF.

Part of a green necklace of new parkland for the city of Tianjin, the project will deliver green infrastructure including constructed wetlands, parkland and urban forest. Renewable energy will be used to move recycled waste water and harvested rain water through the wetlands. Public facilities include wetland trails, a lake loop walk, cycle circuit and forest walk making up a 7km recreational nature trail network.

“地球上的鸟类迁徙航线是一项自然奇观。拟建中的候鸟机场将成为具有全球性意义的濒危候鸟栖息地，同时也将为天津市提供新的绿肺系统。” – Adrian McGregor / 公司创始人兼CEO

“The earths bird fly ways are a wonder of the natural world. The proposed Bird Airport will be a globally significant sanctuary for endangered migratory bird species whilst providing new green lungs for the city of Tianjin.” – Adrian McGregor / Founder and CEO

“候鸟机场将采用新一代水体设计，为未来其它泛北京区域的项目打造了一个具有前瞻性的环境构想。” – Jack Qian (钱昱) / 上海工作室总监

“The Bird Airport will utilize next generation water design helping to shape a progressive environmental vision for future projects in the greater Beijing region.” – Jack Qian / Shanghai Studio Leader

该项目将进一步巩固中国作为国际候鸟研究热点国家的地位，并率先成为全国海绵城市试点项目。在这里将建设一个名为水心阁（Water Pavilion）的高科技游客教育和科研中心，以满足每年预计50万人前来参观的需求。该中心将使用摄像机连接14处鸟类栖息木居，用来观察鸟类的生活情况。湿地被20公顷的林木环抱，以保护鸟类免遭周边城市开发的影响。
项目预计将于2017年下半年启动，2018年完工。

The project will amplify China’s growing role as a hot spot for international migratory bird research and function as a pilot project in the national Sponge City program. Catering for an anticipated visitation of 500,000 people per year, a high-tech visitor education and research centre called the Water Pavilion is proposed. The centre will be digitally connected to cameras in 14 bird hides for monitoring bird life. The wetlands are surrounded by a 20-hectare fringing forest to protect the birds from intrusion by nearby urban development.
The project is expected to begin construction in late 2017and be completed by 2018.
