TLS’S WINNING PROPOSAL FOR LION MOUNTAIN PARK, SUZHOU

。
山水：重新阐释自然
Shanshui: Mountain and Lake

中国苏州政府宣布，来自加州伯克利的TLS景观设计，为苏州狮山公园的方案深化团队。此新都市公园位于老苏州乐园原址，占地74公顷，逶迤于狮山脚下。她将成为未来苏州高新区至关重要的都市公共场所。新的公园景观核心 – 狮山，与新狮山湖紧紧相依，并被一条环形步行大道环绕。这条环形大道也组织着公园周边城市发展。此项目将会开启都市发展的独特篇章– 上承中国传统的“山水精神”，下接自然共生的原则– 都市山峰，森林，水生环境在共同作用下自然再生。同时，公园将会广泛开展艺术项目- 源于这座举世闻名的传统苏州文化特色的艺术项目。

The City of Suzhou, China has announced TLS Landscape Architecture, Berkeley, California as the winner of the Lion Mountain Park Design Competition. The new 74-hectare urban park, built on the grounds of an old amusement park and pond, is anchored by Shishan (Lion) Mountain. The park will become the key amenity of the newly-developing Suzhou High-Tech District. Lion Mountain forms the core of a new urban ecosystem complex and is united with the newly enlarged Shishan Lake by a great circular promenade which also organizes new development parcels surrounding the park. The project will be a unique urban effort to renew and regenerate mountain, forest, and aquatic environments using natural processes and the time-honored Chinese concept of Shanshui – the union of mountain and lake. An extensive public art program will draw on local cultural and artistic traditions in the heart of an ancient city famous for its historic core with architecture and courtyard gardens of UNESCO World Heritage status.

方案征集阶段的作品与中国政府公布的城市发展新导则相契合，侧重于强调生态可持续性发展，包括“海绵城市”理念；并挖掘当地特色，采取因地制宜的都市发展思路。狮山公园将会是中国实现这些想法的第一个大规模的公共项目。狮山湖预计扩大两倍，通过创造可持续性的雨水处理地带，收集那些过去增加了城市排洪压力的雨水，并予以生态净化，将会使得湖水水质从3级水变成清澈的1级水。环道串联公园美景，创造着新的都市共享场所，正如西湖十景完美的融入到人们生活。公园将会以欣欣向荣的自然面貌与狮山威风凛凛之势，呈现出独特的高价值都市场所。不久，我们便可以倾听来自这座王狮的怒吼！

The work of the competition coincided with the Chinese government’s announcement of dramatically new Urban Work Guidelines emphasizing the importance of sound ecological and urban development practices including “Sponge City”, and recovery of local character and sense of place that is difficult to achieve in most new-city programs throughout China. Lion Mountain Park will be the first large scale public project in China constructed to demonstrate these new principles. Shishan Lake will be doubled in size and its water quality raised from a murky Level 3 to a sparkling Level 1 through the creation of a new sustainable watershed – harvesting annual rainfall and naturally cleaning new development area run-off that typically goes into overwhelmed city systems and intensifies downstream flooding. As the circular promenade unfolds around the site it will become the prime venue for daily social life modeled on the famous Ten Scenes of West Lake in Hangzhou. The park will create a unique high-value urban focus based not on the typical use of architectural monuments but on a diverse and flourishing nature and an ancient geological landmark named long ago for its resemblance to the head of a guardian lion. Soon this lion will roar once more!

公园建设将会从2017年3月开始。方案征集期间其他参与单位包括AECOM，香港；Sasaki合伙人，波士顿，美国；Hassell，悉尼，澳大利亚。64 North 建筑公司在竞赛期间曾协助TLS。

Park construction will start in March, 2017. Other competitors included AECOM, Hong Kong; Sasaki Associates, Watertown MA.; and Hassell, Sydney, Australia. 64 North assisted TLS in the competition.

环道
The Loop

山与湖被一个圆形步行道所环绕，这个环道帮助着人们在这个大型公园里很好的定位自己，并且可以把人们引领到不同的特色景点 –由我们所力图创造的属于这个时代的新狮山十八景。这是我们对闻名世界的杭州西湖十景的当代诠释。也是我们对意式小镇强调社交，家庭聚会，享受闲暇时光的公共空间设计的独特演绎。这将是一个城市里充满活动，充满探索，并且被茂盛的绿色所覆盖的好去处。

Mountain and Lake are bound together by a great circular social promenade that provides orientation on such a large site and gives access to a series of features and experiences along its circumference that create a new set of “18 Scenes” for the current era. This is a modern equivalent of the well-known West Lake of Hangzhou with the famous Ten Scenes along its shore. But also in the manner of the evening “passegiata” of Italian towns, this is a place to walk in a social way, with friends, with family, and spend time interacting with the entire community over a leisurely period of hours. This is a place in the city where there is always something to do, someone to see, a place to go surrounded by flourishing nature.

结尾 Coda

狮山公园，是一个传承传统文化，并让百姓尽享社会体验的场所。苏州，这样一座自然与文化衔接如此和谐的古城，将有幸重新探索狮山的美好。

Lion Mountain Park is about recovering a social experience and cultural tradition that has been lost in the rush to urbanization. Suzhou, an ancient city of harmony between culture and nature is fortunate to have Lion Mountain ready and waiting to be re-discovered.

这悠然美好的场景，正如北宋大诗人苏舜钦《沧浪亭》一诗描述：“一径抱幽山，居然城市间。”

A famous and well-loved poem from the Song Dynasty says: “A loop embraces the mountain, a harmonious life within the city. There is a high pavilion facing winding water, let’s plan for a cheerful reunion there.”
