更高、更快、更强!今天，BAM百安木推出了一个中国前所未见的体育公园!五彩缤纷的迷宫、运动区、啤酒花园，顶部配有明亮的黄色地热烟囱和清新的戏水山丘，既锻炼肌肉，又训练头脑!

Ballistic Architecture Machine (BAM), an unconventional multidisciplinary design firm with offices in Beijing, Shanghai, and New York, continues to challenge conventional ideas about urban landscapes, this time with an action-packed design for a sports park in a mega port city in China.
Tianjin 4A Sports Park won the landscape project of the year title at the 16th Grand Prix du Design Awards in Canada, and received recognition at the Architizer A+ Awards for its innovative approach to embedding learning environments in public spaces through play. Join BAM partners Daniel Gass, Jake Walker, and Jingwen Guan on a design journey to Tianjin as they rethink the role of parks in dense cities and reimagine our relationship with nature.

结构的复写本——BAM用全新设计歌颂悠久历史
Palimpsest as structure: BAM celebrates ancient history with new design

该项目场地位于天津市北辰区宜兴埠遗址，是一座有着悠久历史的现代城市，它与江苏宜兴也有着渊源。明朝时，随着大运河的修建，宜兴的人们参与了北上的运输并经常在天津北部停留，久而久之，他们在这里定居并在复制了一个与宜兴相似格局的村落。在这座历史村落被毁之后，BAM将原宜兴埠的规划作为样本在此进行重建。

“In this project, we were initially very taken with the site history, which included a temple and small town called Yixing town,” recalls Daniel Gass, co-founder at BAM.
Today, the site is a modern city built over the remains of historical Yixing, a town with a remarkable connection to another Yixing town in Jiangsu province. With the construction of the Grand Canal, the residents of Yixing moved their entire village and reconstructed a facsimile to the north of Tianjin city. While this historical town was destroyed, BAM utilizes the urban plan of the original Yixing as a palimpsest, resurfacing the lost history and giving it back to the community in a contemporary form.

象限菜单：运动、美食、游乐以及迷宫
Quadrant menu: Sport, food, fun, and mazes

这个项目大致可分为 4 个功能空间，互有重叠，呈象限分布。中轴线是贯穿场地东南到西北，轴线穿过商业连接了周围的居民社区与地铁。另一条轴线则是中央大型广场，是日常休闲和大型节假活动的开放空间。由两大轴线划分的四个象限区域，承载了各自不同而独特的活动项目。
中央公共空间形成了一个长长的广场，广场实际是一个地热井所在地，地热井上方设计的高耸烟囱成为广场的亮点，地热和该区域自然产生的热气通过此烟囱排放。BAM并未试图隐藏场地特征，而是努力将其转化为场地优势，成为主广场最重要的中心构筑元素。

The project is roughly divided into 4 plots which overlap each other. These quadrants are defined by a central axis which runs northwest to southeast, connecting with the residential district through the mall to the metro. The other axis is a large central plaza, which is an open space for activities and events.

北部区域是体育花园，因为它位置靠近居民区可以形成更好的互动联系。东部区域以餐饮为主，在动线上连接了 B1 层商街与地铁，大多数咖啡馆和餐厅都在那里。公园里有令人垂涎的美食景观，比如舒适的啤酒花园和放松的室外就餐区。餐饮区域从中轴延伸连接南部区域，那里汇集了不同形式、丰富多彩的游乐景观。南部游乐场一侧与商业二层的家庭与亲子业态项目相接，一侧延伸至中轴广场活跃的戏水空间与水迷宫区域。

Each quadrant of the park takes on a unique programmatic identity. The northern quadrant is sports-focused due to its proximity and connectedness to the residential district to the north. The eastern quadrant is a food-oriented quadrant and connects down to the B1 and metro, where the main food and beverage facilities are. The food landscapes in the park consist of a beer garden and outdoor eating areas. The food area spills across the axis to the southern quadrant, which is heavily programmed with different forms of play environments. The play environment of the southern quadrant connects to the interior family-based programs of the retail area, and also spills across the central plaza to create an active water feature: the water maze.

水迷宫是西部区域的四个迷宫之一。其他三个分别是绿篱迷宫、大地迷宫与木玩迷宫，它们彼此相连，为家长和小朋友们提供了各种不同的迷宫场景进行探索与观赏体验。

The water maze is one of four mazes which define the western quadrant. The hedge maze, the earth maze, and the wood maze areas all interconnect, providing a variety of different maze environments for families to enjoy, with ample onlooking space.

在四个功能区域下，再细分为更小的场地，每个场地都有各自独特而迷人的空间属性和活动项目，每个景观空间与活动项目都是精心设计的。汇聚景观、商业、住宅区域以及轨道交通等各方面，这个公园将成为全天候高度活跃的空间，是为所有人服务的。

The four quadrants break down into micro-environments, each with its own unique spaces and programs. The programs and spaces of the landscape are highly curated, balancing between the landscape, retail, housing, and metro.
“This park is designed to be a highly active 24-hour space, with something for everyone,” adds Guan Jingwen, partner at BAM.

通过设计促进生态意识
Ecological awareness through design

BAM 所有的设计都要负责处理场地的基本生态功能。理解场地的生态功能和潜在影响非常重要，这在很大程度上取决于场地大小和体量，场地越大，它所承载的生态责任则越重。
天津远洋未来城体育公园的场地并不大，BAM 能够将一个更大的公园的项目安排在更小的空间内，使其成为一种“高密度”公园。这意味着公园可以发挥的最重要的生态功能之 一，就是提高使用者对环境问题的认识。

The ecological impact of the site is very much determined by its size.
“All of BAM’s designs are responsible in respect to the ecological functions of any site, like rainwater collection and flood management, but also the contribution of trees to the reduction of the heat island effect,” notes Jake Walker, co-founder of BAM. “However, in this project, we’re dealing with a relatively small site and we were able to fit the programs of a much larger park into a much smaller space.”
As such, the park fulfills its main ecological function by generating greater awareness of environmental issues through two key features – a geothermal chimney and an interactive hydrological model water feature.
The enormous chimney within the project site, which functions as a steam exhaust for the heated water naturally occurring in this region, is transformed by the BAM design team into the park’s brightest highlight—a yellow eye-catcher during the day, and a shimmering watchtower at night.

“戏水山丘”与环境教育
The “Water Mountain” and environmental education

The other, and certainly more interactive, environmental element on site is the play ‘n learn “Water Mountain”. This water feature is an interactive hydrology model – a miniature of the Yangtze River delta landscape, the Three Gorges Reservoir, and the ancient Dujiangyan irrigation system. Children can activate water sources in the miniature mountains and use dams placed in certain locations along the water’s route to create reservoirs. However, if the water is not carefully managed, it will spill over into other waterways and continue its path to the ocean.

这个水景互动场地，在表面上反映了中国的景观以及其农业和文化的发展和遗产。在更深层次上，设计特别强调人类在重度改造景观和水道方面的角色。这个设计将一个潜在的对于孩子来说可能过于大而抽象的想法转化成了一个游戏环境，其中的学习不是教条主义的，而是内在于游戏中。通过这些类型的游戏，BAM 希望让更多的孩子可以产生对这些问题的了解和探讨，并希望培养出一个有意识去解决这些问题的一代人。

On the surface, this water feature reflects the Chinese landscape, agricultural and cultural development, and heritage. On a deeper level, the design speaks to humaity’s role in the heavy manipulation of the landscape and waterways. This feature turns an idea, potentially far too large and abstract for a child to comprehend, into a play environment where learning is not didactic, but rather inherent in the play. Through these types of play, BAM brings awareness to children about big environmental issues in the hope of raising a new generation of people with minds to fix them.

连接自然与城市
Connecting to nature in the urban condition

除了重要的生态效益外，公园的一个根本目的是满足人类对更加“自然”环境的内在渴望。这就是为什么BAM的口号是“自然是一个概念”。城市的公园其实并不是真正的“自然” 状态，它同城市中心的摩天大楼和高速公路一样是构建出来的。它看起来是一片绿色，到处是树木与鸟类，但这并不意味着它与荒野的自然相同。
公园不是自然本身，而是自然的理想形态，这也是为什么公园能如此令人愉悦的原因。去公园不能代替真正的大自然中的体验，如步入真正的旷野、登山徒步、瀑布下游泳等等。
然而，那些与大自然相处的美好瞬间也会伴随着一些艰辛。人类一直在努力将自己与荒野分开，因为荒野不适于生存。当我们越来越远离原始的自然环境，而生存在人工建造的世界中，我们就开始产生对大自然的向往。公园，在一定程度上可以满足这种愿望，也可以从一定程度上弱化这些建设的痕迹。

“Besides key ecological benefits, one of the fundamental purposes of a park is to connect to human’s inherent desire for what people consider more ‘natural’ environments,” explains Walker. “The scale of infrastructure and architecture can be dehumanizing, and that is where park spaces shine.”
“An urban park is not really a ‘natural’ condition, but rather is as constructed as the skyscrapers and towers of the city center,” adds Guan. “It may look green and full of trees and birds, but it is not necessarily nature in the same sense as the nature of the wilderness.”
“That’s why BAM’s slogan is ‘Nature is an Idea’,” concludes Gass. “The value of a park is to connect to our projection of what nature is and what nature feels like.”
The feeling of a ‘natural’ environment goes beyond simply adding greenery.
“The key is making places where humans can feel at scale with the surrounding environment,” emphasizes Walker.
“People tend to think of parks and public spaces in terms green spaces and open lawns, but the reality of a high-density city is that people are in desperate need of quality recreational spaces,” adds Gass.

运动作为一种设计语言
Sports as a design language

公园的价值在于连接我们对大自然的理念和感受。创造自然环境的感觉并不一定需要简单地添加更多的植物和树木，尽管这是一个重要的解决方案。 关键是创建城市空间，着重关注人们在城市条件下的体验。基础设施和建筑的规模可能会让人感到不人性化，这也是公园空间真正闪耀的地方。公园不仅仅是让人感觉“自然”， 而是在公园这种空间里，人类可以感受到与周围环境的尺度感。
在天津4A体育公园中，工作室将其提升到另一个层次，将各种运动场地提升为项目的美学语言。通过将树木、植物、街道家具和灯光的图案进一步分层设计，并用条纹、颜色和几何元素来充满趣味地对各种活动区进行标记。BAM创造了一个超高效的公园，为男女老少每个人提供了共同的乐趣。

So, how does one design a park that provides a truly relaxing escape amid the concrete jungle?
BAM’s answer: ‘Sports and patterns!’—the studio’s favorite design staples. With Tianjin 4A Sports Park, the studio took it to another level, elevating sports courts of various kinds to become the aesthetic language of the project. By layering the design further with patterns of trees, plants, street furniture, and lights, and playfully marking various activity zones with stripes, colors, and geometric elements, BAM created a hyper-efficient park that offers something enjoyable for everyone, from young to old. Tianjin 4A Sports Park is a thought-provoking play with the boundaries of landscape, architecture, and the contemporary city—a design pursuit aimed at creating a shared retreat for urbanites.
