Appreciation towards ASLA for providing the following description:

“这是一个简洁却动人的设计。深藏在小巷之内的小小场地却如此精彩，无论白天还是夜晚，晴日抑或雨中，都欢迎着人们到访和探索。”
——2015年评审委员会

“An outstanding characteristic of the plan is its simplicity. It creates a space that is welcoming all the time…A lot could go on in what is essentially an alley.”
– 2015 Awards Jury

项目陈述 PROJECT STATEMENT

Public Media Commons创造了一个极富互动性的开放空间，艺术、教育和公共媒体在此交汇、相融。看似平常的公共广场空间内暗藏玄机，穿孔金属薄板包裹着相邻的两座建筑，斑驳的表面肌理不仅统一了周边环境的建筑语言，也成为各类新媒体一显身手的最佳场所。北侧的大屏幕上可以滚动播出实时节目，而西侧的墙面则可在广场举办活动时充当投影的幕布。小型表演舞台、下沉式的台阶座椅、巨大的投影幕墙以及源自密苏里州本土的草原景观植物占据了广场的不同角落，相辅相成的媒体与格局设计激活了广场空间，也预示着未来城市空间设计必然的发展方向。

The Public Media Commons creates an interactive open space where arts, education, and public media come together. It’s goal was to develop a new kind of public space that included traditional plaza components as well as features that could respond to media programming. A perforated metal scrim was designed to clad the adjacent existing buildings. The scrim works by first transforming and unifying the vernacular of the surrounding buildings, secondly to create areas for new media components. These features allow for the networks to broadcast live content into the commons as well as develop specialized projections for special events within the plaza. The commons accommodates performance stages for small groups, multiple seating areas, a large projection screen, and a rich plant palette that harkens to Missouri’s native prairie landscape. It is a powerful expression of the future relationship between public media and public space.

项目说明 PROJECT NARRATIVE

项目基地位于圣路易斯市的中心区域，曾经是项目的业主－公共电视与广播电台所在建筑之间的停车场。景观设计团队希望创造一种全新的公共空间形式，让看似普通的广场空间能够回应建筑能不断产生的媒体内容。基地所处的环境十分复杂，与其在北侧相接的道路高出广场地平一米有余，周边环绕的建筑风格各异，而藏在Sheldon音乐厅后侧的制冷设备也赫然在目。

设计师匠心独运，用一层轻薄的穿孔金属板包裹了两栋相邻的建筑。斑驳的表面肌理不仅统一了周边环境的建筑语言，也成为各类新媒体一显身手的最佳场所。西侧建筑右上方的表皮孔洞稀疏、几不可见，平整的金属板成为了一面巨大的投影幕布。而在新增添的电子显示屏以及第九频道大楼会议室窗户的外侧，细密的小孔形成了疏密有致的纹理，为立面带来丰富却不凌乱的变化，也让传播信息的二维码暗嵌于其中。或大或小的电子屏上向广场上的人群同步传送着电视台所播放节目内容，西侧的墙面则在广场举办活动时充当投影的幕布。

在密苏里州州立植物园以及业主的配合下，景观设计团队最终确定了植物的类别。植被种植区域沿着台阶式的座椅逐层跌落，利用广场与道路间的高差完成了不同空间间的转换。而对面Sheldon音乐厅底侧的树池和草丛则让街道两侧的景观质量达到了平衡。精心挑选植物品种将随着四季的变化而变换着色彩和模样，仿佛也在呼应屏幕中不停更新的新闻或节目。

深深浅浅的灰色砖块在广场上铺出波浪般的图案，如同抽象化的声波图案。镶嵌于其中的锚点可用于固定业主所拥有的临时帐篷，让各式各样的户外活动不受天气干扰，无论晴日或风雨都能如常进行。具有较高反射率的浅色的铺装让空间一扫过往作为停车场时的阴郁，变得开阔而宽敞。

来自DLANDstudio的景观团队为圣路易斯创造了一个极富互动性的开放空间，艺术、教育和公共媒体在此交汇、相融。小型表演舞台、下沉式的台阶座椅、巨大的投影幕墙以及源自密苏里周州本土的草原景观植物占据了广场的不同角落，相辅相成的媒体与格局设计激活了广场空间，也预示着未来城市空间设计必然的发展方向。

Public Media Commons is in the Grand Center District in St. Louis, MO. The former parking lot sits between the public television and radio stations, also the project’s clients. The goal of the project was to develop a new kind of public space that included traditional plaza components as well as features that could respond to media programming at the two stations. The existing conditions of the commons included a substantial grade change in the north where the site meets an alley, varied facades from the surrounding buildings, and views of the back of house chillers from the Sheldon Concert Hall.

A perforated metal scrim was designed to clad the adjacent buildings. The scrim works two folds- first, to transform the aesthetic of the commons and unify the vernacular of the surrounding buildings, secondly to create areas for new media components. Where the perforations densify the scrim is more solid allowing for digital projection. In other instances the scrim maneuvers around newly added digital screens and meeting room at the Nine Networks building. These features allow for the networks to broadcast live content into the commons as well as develop specialized projections for special events within the plaza.

Plant species were selected in coordination with the Missouri Botanic Garden as well as the client. The location of the planting takes advantage of the grade change to create a layered effect while also providing a buffer to the alley. A tree grove and grassy planting at the base of the Sheldon Concert Hall help to unify the spaces on either side of the alley. Plant species were selected based on their seasonal qualities to complement the ever changing news and media cycles of the networks.

Unit pavers in varying shades of grey are arranged as an abstraction of sound waves throughout the plaza. The patterned paver area includes anchors to install a temporary clear tent structure owned by the client, expanding the life of the plaza in varied weather conditions. The paving throughout the plaza is light in color to increase the albedo of the site which becomes most apparent when compared to the existing condition of the parking lot.

The design of Public Media Commons creates an interactive open space where arts, education, and public media come together. The commons accommodates performance stages for small groups, multiple seating areas, a large projection screen, and a rich plant palette that harkens to Missouri’s native prairie landscape. It is a powerful expression of the future relationship between public media and public space.
