Appreciation towards Cino Zucchi Architetti for providing the following description:

这是圣多纳迪皮夫城市中一个小型的社区公园，这个社区没有多少公共用地，仅有的空地也存在可达性不高的问题。这个社区公园的出现改变了这一不良现状。社区公园的南部面向主要公路，内部的铺装是白色的水洗石，这白色的铺装如同自然地貌般起伏着，形成小山，盆地，还有聚会的座椅，喷泉，道路，儿童乐园，野餐点。树木，灯具，以及被树木穿过的白色石凳帮助定义着公园的空间，并在不同的季节为人们带来不同的小气候。

Neighborhood park in San Donà di PiaveSan Donà di Piave (Venice), 2004-2007

Cino Zucchi Architetti with Gueltrini e Stignani Associati

The public commission by the city of San Donà di Piave to design a small neighborhood park  was the occasion to experiment on the theme of a contemporary public space in this “middle landscape”. The initial data were somehow discouraging; a poor design of the new street network, mediocre architectural solution for the houses, little or no public services to animate the new space, but more that that the strongly “residual” character of the plot assigned to the park, with little public accessibility and cut off from the main street by a planned parking lot. The shape of the given plot surrounded by two-to-four floors high houses has been redesigned to open it up to the south toward the main street. Next to this main access, the planned parking has been turned ninety degrees to form a bean-shaped surface paved in brightly coloured asphalt and screened by an earth dune recalling the river dams of the context. A main hard surface of small white pebbles cast in white concrete unifies the pedestrian paths, deforming its width, shape and level to become in turn a seat, an open-air auditorium, a fountain, a gathering place for kids, a bicycle route, a picnic spot. A spiralling wooden screen shelters a playground lit by a high lamp pole in the shape of a sprout. A series of “ripples” in the concave
higher slope act as an informal amphitheatre for events, and their central crossed height offset create a low-pitched ramp for wheelchairs. An artificial water spring – with time-planned intensity differences in the strength and volume of the stream at half hour intervals – cascades down from the higher mound through a series of slits to a moon-shaped pool.

▼白色的铺装自然形成了坐凳，聚会空间，路面

整个公园连续而统一，白色的路面串起所有的功能，夜晚来临，修长的灯杆泛光灯源照射着下方柔和的路径。如今这里变成一个非常热闹的聚会场所，全天候的迎接各种各样的人们，有读书看报的，有骑山地车的，有闲聊的，还有玩音乐的….

▼铺装与绿植的自然衔接

Trees, lighting fixtures and white stone benches pierced by tree pots help define the space and create different microclimates in the different seasons. A central area next to a drinking water fountain is shaded by denser trees, offering a fresher spot in warm summers; a roughly circular concrete bench is bent around a single large oak tree to seat informal chats or picnics. The height of the earth mounds which embrace the wide central meadow is studied to protect the space from the surrounding disorder but not to screen off the view from and to the houses. A number of radial paths connect the central space to the bike and pedestrian network which connects the neighborhood to the larger city structure.

A continuous earthwork, rather than a number of separated “services”, respond to the few needs of “well-being” and leisure of a park, contributing to reduce the visual and spatial disorder of the suburban sprawl.

The glaze from the white paving, quite strong in the sunniest days, slowly changes into coloured shades the different hours and seasons, amplifying the perception of natural events and weather changes as a large sundial or a landscape, reconciling the natural dimension with the daily city life. The evening light design amplifies the different character of the areas: an array of slender light poles follow the gentle curve of the paths, ground-level horizontal light points exaggerate the roughness of the paving surface, and the high light pole in the playground signals the park from the perimeter road.

The park has already become a very lively meeting place at all hours, hosting relaxed newspaper readers as well as mountain bike acrobats, old ladies gossiping and youngsters playing guitar.
