设计理念
Design Concept

随着新技术、新文化和新经济体系的高速迭代，城市正快速更新发展。如何处理新建筑和历史环境的关系，甚至是在历史遗迹消失殆尽的地段挖掘过去的记忆，都具有了更多可能性。本项目通过将现有的城市空间结构视作创作的骨架，通过引入现代城市元素并让历史文化及未来规划参与到设计建设之中，从而更好且恰当地将历史文化融入现有的城市之中，在现代城市肌理中保留更多跨时代的文化信息。

With the rapid iteration of new technologies, cultures, and economic systems, cities are rapidly evolving. The relationship between new buildings and historical environments, and even uncovering memories in areas where historical relics have disappeared, presents more possibilities. This project treats the existing urban spatial structure as the framework for creation, integrating modern urban elements and involving historical culture and future planning in the design and construction, thus appropriately integrating historical culture into the existing city, preserving more cross-era cultural information within the modern urban texture.

基于对京杭大运河重要节点位置的思考，以及如何起到承上启下，完成新旧历史交接的考量。运河公园设计本身并没有采用传统建筑形式去表现运河文化历史，而是结合其原有工业元素，采用了更具现代化的手法，即建筑形态以及外立面的表达在尊重历史的基础上，创造空间形态的丰富性，同时也便于周边居民的参与使用。

Considering the importance of the site’s location along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and how to bridge the past and present, the design of the Canal Park does not adopt traditional architectural forms to represent the canal’s cultural history. Instead, it incorporates the area’s original industrial elements with a modern approach, creating a rich spatial form while respecting history and facilitating local community engagement.

整体布局
Overall Layout

运河文化公园的设计以运河文化体验为主题，同时融入了艺术展示、文化交流、休闲娱乐等多种功能。其中，位于公园内部的运河文化交流中心被放置在了地块北侧，靠近场地机动车出入口，也避免了南侧高架的干扰。这一布局策略能够使交流中心在未来与北侧在建的运河湾商业项目形成一个整体，并产生更多互动的可能性。作为北侧运河湾商业项目南侧起点，吸引更多人流进入运河公园。

The design of the Canal Culture Park focuses on the experience of canal culture, incorporating art display, cultural exchange, and leisure. The Canal Culture Exchange Center is located in the north of the park, near the vehicular entrance, avoiding interference from the southern elevated road. This layout allows for future integration with the Canal Bay commercial project to the north, enhancing interaction. Positioned as the southern starting point of the northern Canal Bay commercial project, it attracts more visitors to the park.

南侧的景观带同样秉承了交流中心富有流动性的设计理念，在场地布局及道路布置上都以流线型为主。建筑与景观因而形成一个流畅的整体，相互呼应。公园东南角为人行主入口，东侧为公园展示性入口，西北和西南角各设一处次入口，联系地块南北的滨河步道和健身跑道。公园的“文化体验”主题在景观上主要通过观演体验区、地面铺装、栏杆设计、主题雕塑等方式来体现。

The southern landscape zone embodies the fluid design concept of the exchange center, with a streamlined layout for the site and roads, creating a cohesive whole between the architecture and landscape. The southeast corner is the main pedestrian entrance, with exhibition entrances on the east, and secondary entrances on the northwest and southwest corners, connecting the riverside walkways and fitness trails from north to south. The park’s “cultural experience” theme is reflected in the landscape through performance areas, paving, railings, and thematic sculptures.

建筑设计
Architectural Design

运河文化交流中心邻近大运河，对岸为造船厂旧址。设计意在将工业遗风融入建筑之中，同时与大运河形成亲密互动。建筑体型源于船厂厂房轮廓，将其分割变形，重新组合，形成一个由斜坡组成的，旋转上升的建筑体态，同时形体也如同两艘出港远航的漕船，与运河世代相传的漕运文化相呼应。

The Canal Culture Exchange Center, close to the Grand Canal and opposite the old shipyard, integrates industrial heritage into its design, fostering close interaction with the canal. Inspired by the shipyard’s silhouette, the building’s form is a composition of sloping segments that rise and twist, resembling two boats setting sail, echoing the canal’s transport culture.

内部空间
Interior Space

在建筑内部空间设计上，运河文化交流中心也别具特色。屋顶设有采光井，为建筑内部提供了自然采光和通风。负一层的中庭与室外下沉庭院之间的幕墙设有玻璃折叠门。折叠门完全打开后，将中庭的空间自然的延续到室外，结合下沉庭院周边的景观放坡，能让演出及展示活动扩展至公园之中。这一设计既保留了室内外空间的独立性，又增进了整体空间的流动性和通透性，在保证功能性的同时为使用者带来全新的感官体验。

The interior space design of the Canal Culture Exchange Center also has its unique features. The roof is equipped with skylights, providing natural light and ventilation for the interior of the building. The curtain wall between the atrium on the basement level and the outdoor sunken courtyard has glass folding doors. When the folding doors are fully opened, the space of the atrium naturally extends to the outdoors, combined with the landscaped slopes around the sunken courtyard, allowing performances and exhibitions to expand into the park. This design not only maintains the independence of indoor and outdoor spaces but also enhances the overall spatial fluidity and transparency, bringing a new sensory experience to users while ensuring functionality.

立面设计
Facade Design

运河文化交流中心的建筑造型受运河历史的启发，以船舶为设计意向，与漕运历史相呼应。建筑外立面采用了不锈钢网格的设计。网格如薄纱般在光线下影影绰绰，为原本硬朗的工业风格建筑增添了一抹江南水乡的柔美与婉约。

The architectural design of the Canal Culture Exchange Center is inspired by the canal’s history, with a design concept based on ships, echoing the history of canal transport. The building’s facade features a stainless steel mesh design. This mesh, like a sheer fabric, creates subtle and graceful shadows under the light, adding a touch of the soft and gentle charm of Jiangnan water towns to the originally robust industrial style of the architecture.

建筑的桁架外置于玻璃幕墙之外，使得具有强烈现代工业感的建筑结构可以对外展示。同时场地承接南部主城区，占据了北部新区的起点位置，建筑本身应更具标志性与艺术观赏性。因此在建筑最外部增加具有一定通透性的表皮，让外置的建筑结构显得若隐若现，减轻了传统工业风格建筑的沉重感，让建筑整体形象显得轻盈、流畅。

The building’s trusses are externally mounted, showcasing the strong modern industrial structure while considering its location between the southern city center and the northern new district, enhancing its iconic and aesthetic value. An outer layer with some transparency reveals the underlying structure, lightening the traditional industrial style and giving the building a light, flowing appearance.

Mediamesh技术
Mediamesh Technology

建筑南立面增设了Mediamesh金属网显示屏技术，通过将LED灯嵌入金属网中，形成一种可控的灯光媒体影像效果。Mediamesh技术不仅能够有效降低能耗，在维护和耐候性也有一定优势。在美学上，相对传统的大屏幕，Mediamesh技术可同时适用于白天黑夜，即使在未播放多媒体内容时，仍能保持立面的通透及完整性，同时还保证室内望向室外时，仍有一个较好的景观视线，而非传统LED屏幕的完全遮挡。此外，Mediamesh技术在提升建筑视觉效果的同时，也为活动的多样化展示提供了支持。它使得活动内容能够流畅地从室内扩展到室外环境，进而增强了建筑与观众之间的互动性，丰富了观赏体验。

The southern facade of the building incorporates Mediamesh technology, embedding LED lights into the metal mesh to create controllable lighting and media effects. Mediamesh not only reduces energy consumption but also has advantages in maintenance and weather resistance. Aesthetically, compared to traditional large screens, Mediamesh works well during both day and night, maintaining facade transparency and integrity even when not displaying multimedia content. It ensures a good view from the inside out, unlike traditional LED screens that completely block the view. Moreover, Mediamesh enhances the building’s visual impact and supports diverse event displays, smoothly extending activities from indoors to outdoors and enriching the interaction between the building and its audience.

景观介绍
Landscape Description

景观总体布置借用明代顾起元的《客座赘语》描述：“凡家有宴会小聚，多用散乐，或三四人，或多人，唱大套北曲，乐器用筝、琵琶、三弦子、拍板……”为依据，以主体建筑为中心，结合下沉庭院布置文化体验区，四周通过地形的抬升形成环形看台。公园内散布活动小广场，通过打开滨河景观视线及观演场地等形式，形成丰富的交流空间，营造杭州运河沿岸浓厚的文化氛围。

The overall landscape layout draws inspiration from Ming dynasty scholar Gu Qi Yuan’s “Extravagant Words at a Banquet,” centering around the main building and integrating a cultural experience area with a sunken courtyard, surrounded by elevated terrains forming a circular amphitheater. The park features activity plazas, riverside views, and performance spaces, creating rich interaction spaces and cultivating a strong cultural atmosphere along the Hangzhou Canal.

公园内含中心绿地区、疏林游憩区、公园入口区、绿林隔断区、滨河休闲区等多个区域。其中，公园内的中心绿地区不仅提供了开阔舒朗的视觉感官体验，还可以作为游客或附近居民理想的休闲场所。疏林游憩区以疏林草地为主，结合带状月季花卉的种植，创造出一个可供观赏、游憩的主题公园。密林种植区则通过高大茂盛的常绿树种隔绝高架路车辆噪音对园区的不利影响。此外，在植被的配置上，从滨河绿化区的榉树到疏林草地游憩区的樱花，不同的区域呈现出不同季节的美景。特别是以月季花为主题的区域，通过花廊、花架、花海和花池等方式，创造出了一片美不胜收的景观花海。

The park includes a central green area, sparse woodland recreation area, park entrance zone, green forest barrier zone, and riverside leisure area. The central green area provides an open and comfortable visual and leisure space. The sparse woodland area, with its grass and seasonal flowers, creates a themed park for viewing and relaxation. The dense woodland area uses tall evergreens to shield the park from noise from the elevated road. The vegetation arrangement varies from beech trees in the riverside green area to cherry blossoms in the sparse woodland area, showcasing seasonal beauty across different zones. Particularly, the rose-themed area, with its floral galleries, trellises, seas, and pools, creates a captivating landscape.

建筑材料
Building Materials

在材料选择方面，考虑到运河文化交流中心屋面为上人屋面且面积较大，材料的选择对整体建筑效果影响较大，最终选择采用UHPC作为屋面大台阶的材料。相较于普通石材，UHPC分缝较少，表面光洁，更易清理，无论是前期施工还是后期使用，更能保证整体效果的简洁纯粹。

Considering the extensive rooftop area of the Canal Culture Exchange Center, UHPC was chosen for the roof steps due to its minimal joints, smooth surface, and ease of cleaning, ensuring a simple and pure overall architectural effect, both during construction and in use.

此外，UHPC材料强度高，有很好的抗压抗折性，在后期的运营维护过程中能够有效避免开裂等情况的发生。同时利用其数字化开模制造的特性，能够创造出复杂的三维曲线造型，让屋面的上人台阶如同钢琴琴键一般，充满艺术气息。材料本身也作为上人承重构件使用，充分展现UHPC的高强度特性。

UHPC’s high strength and resistance to compression and bending help prevent cracking during operation and maintenance. Its capacity for digital mold manufacturing allows the creation of complex three-dimensional shapes, making the rooftop steps resemble piano keys, enhancing their artistic quality. UHPC is also used as a load-bearing element, demonstrating its high-strength properties.

建筑结构
Structural Design

结构上，本工程屋面为上人屋面，最大跨度约为42m，为大跨屋面结构。同时还需要考虑结构荷载较大，最终采用钢桁架结构。交流中心内部不设置框架柱，且建筑外立面桁架为变截斜面，为满足建筑效果及使用功能，结构周边采用斜柱及斜桁架作为主体竖向构件。并采用井字形桁架双向受力的结构体系。为满足建筑沿运河景观侧的视觉效果，建筑顶部屋面结构最大悬挑跨度约14m，采用钢结构密梁悬挑，两端设置局部桁架，减小悬挑引起的挠度。

The building’s rooftop, with a maximum span of about 42m, is a large-span structure. Considering the significant structural load, a steel truss structure was chosen. Inside the Exchange Center, no frame columns are set, and the facade trusses of the building have a varying sectional inclined surface. To meet the architectural effect and functional requirements, inclined columns and trusses are used as the main vertical components around the structure. Additionally, a lattice-type truss system that bears force in two directions is employed. To meet the visual requirements along the canal side of the building, the rooftop structure at the top of the building has a maximum cantilever span of about 14 meters. It uses a dense beam steel structure cantilever with local trusses set at both ends to reduce the deflection caused by the cantilever.
