在阿布扎比,一种新型的城市自然公园已经看到了诞生。过去那种耗水的、没有灵魂的 "拉斯维加斯景观"已经不复存在。Al Fay公园位于阿布扎比市中心的一个新的27,500平方米的公共公园,标志着一种由包容性的自然而不是利用地标性的建筑来驱动的新的中东城市空间。
A new kind of urban nature park has seen the light of day in Abu Dhabi. Gone are the water-consuming and soulless ‘Las Vegas landscapes’ of the past. Enter Al Fay Park – a new 27,500 m2 public park in downtown Abu Dhabi that signals a new kind of Middle Eastern city development: Driven by inclusive nature rather than iconic buildings.
▼项目概念 Concept
Al Fay公园由丹麦自然设计工作室SLA为客户阿布扎比市政和交通部设计,是在中东密集的大城市中设计和实施城市自然的一个游戏规则的改变。该公园是阿联酋的第一个城市公园,利用生物多样性来提高当地的小气候和社会公共领域。该公园的设计是通过SLA的内部生物学家和种植专家对该地区独特的自然和野生动物进行为期一年的研究而设计的。一项研究发表在SLA自己的内部植物书中,涵盖了阿联酋所有的本土植物种类,它们的最佳生长和生活条件,以及如何将它们融入设计。
Al Fay Park is designed by Danish nature-based design studio SLA for the client Abu Dhabi Department of Municipalities and Transport and is a game-changer in how to design and implement city nature in the dense megacities of the Middle East. The park is the first urban park in UAE that uses biodiversity to enhance the local microclimate as well as the social public realm. The park design is devised through SLA’s inhouse biologists and planting experts’ yearlong research studies of the region’s unique nature and wildlife. A research published in SLA’s own internal plant book covering all the native plant species of the UAE, their optimal growing and living conditions, and how to integrate them into design.
"Al Fay公园是阿布扎比的一个新型森林公园。通过我们对该地区动植物的广泛研究,我们为如何思考和设计中东的公共领域创造了一个新的范式。Al Fay公园是对阿布扎比本地自然和文化的庆祝,也是如何最大限度地采取气候行动、提高生活质量并从根本上改善整个城市的生物多样性的最佳范例,所有这些都是在以前的沙地上进行的。"SLA设计负责人和合伙人Rasmus Astrup说。
“Al Fay Park is a new type of forest park in Abu Dhabi. Through our extensive research in the region’s flora and fauna, we create a new paradigm for how to think and design public realm in the Middle East. Al Fay Park is a celebration of Abu Dhabi’s native nature and culture and a prime example of how to maximize climate action, increase life-quality, and radically improve the biodiversity of an entire city – all on a former sand site,” says Rasmus Astrup, Design Principal and Partner in SLA.
城市里最凉爽的地方
作为阿联酋的第一个生物多样性公园,Al Fay公园包含2000多棵本地树木和灌木,包括从沙漠苗圃移栽到公园的国家Ghaf树,都是专门为加强植物和野生动物的生物多样性而选择的,并在整个公园内最大限度的实现热冷却。由此产生的小气候降低了交通噪音和温度,创造了一个独特的森林般的环境。专门设计的倾斜入口将凉爽的南风导入公园,而当地的草和灌木丛减少了沙子的渗透。
The coolest place in town
As the first biodiversity park in the UAE, Al Fay Park contains more than 2,000 native trees and bushes – including the national Ghaf trees that have been replanted from desert nurseries into the park – all specifically chosen to strengthen biodiversity for both plants and wildlife and to maximize natural cooling throughout the park. The resulting microclimate reduces traffic noise and temperature and creates a distinct forest-like environment. The specifically designed sloping entrances funnels the cooler southern breeze down into the park while local grasses and bushes reduce sand infiltration.
"Al Fay公园的特别设计是为了给阿布扎比提供生物、环境和社会效益。树木的密度、土壤设计、完全使用循环水的灌溉,以及完全使用本地物种,不仅确保了公园与传统公园相比,从根本上减少了40%的灌溉量。这些种植也吸引了蜜蜂、授粉者、鸟类和动物,在阿布扎比中部提供了一个郁郁葱葱和生动的氛围! 最后,小气候设计为游戏、运动和休闲提供了最佳的社会生态系统,使Al Fay公园在社会和气候方面都成为城市里最凉爽的地方。"SLA设计负责人和合伙人Rasmus Astrup说。
“Al Fay Park is specifically designed to provide both biological, environmental and social benefits to Abu Dhabi. The density of the trees, the soil design, the irrigation using solely recirculated water, and the sole use of native species not only ensure that the park has radically reduced its irrigation with 40 percent compared to conventional parks. The planting also attracts bees, pollinators, birds and animals, providing a lush and lively atmosphere in the middle of Abu Dhabi – this is a with 100 percent birdsong guaranty! Lastly, the microclimate design provides the best possible social ecosystem for play, sports and leisure – making Al Fay Park both socially and climatically ‘the coolest place in town’,” says Rasmus Astrup, Design Principal and Partner in SLA.

受益于优化的小气候,Al Fay公园的社会活动非常活跃,如多种体育设施、操场、街头健身、攀岩墙、迷你高尔夫、食品卡车和大量的非正式户外座位。沿着公园的边缘,一条蜿蜒的森林小径邀请游客在花草间和树冠下探索感性和野生的自然体验。其结果是一个拥有真实的生态系统和野生动物自然栖息地的公园,同时也是一个开放的邀请,让所有人在一个和平、舒适和宁静的环境中探索自然,相互交流,共同放松。
Benefitting from the optimized microclimate, Al Fay Park is buzzling with social activities such as multiple sports facilities, playgrounds, street fitness, climbing walls, minigolf, food trucks and a host of informal outdoor seating areas. Along the edge of the park a winding Forest Track invites visitors to explore sensuous and wild nature experiences amongst the flowers and grasses and under the canopies. The result is a park with authentic ecosystems and natural habitats for wildlife that also is an open invitation for all to explore nature, interact with each other and relax together in a peaceful, comfortable and serene setting.
"Al Fay公园的世界级设计创造了一个环境,鼓励社区成员在社会上相互交往,同时也与他们周围的大自然联系起来。我们期待着见证这个充满活力的公园的成长,它将为阿布扎比的子孙后代带来好处,"市政和交通部城市发展代理主任Latifa Al Hallami说。
“The world-class design of Al Fay Park has created an environment that encourages community members to socially engage with one another while also connecting with the nature that surrounds them. We’re looking forward to witness the growth of this dynamic park that will benefit Abu Dhabi for future generations to come,” says Latifa Al Hallami, Acting Director of Urban Growth, at Department of Municipalities and Transport.

总而言之,Al Fay公园是中东地区第一个展示如何加强城市生物多样性,同时为所有居民和游客创造一个凉爽、舒适和独特的全天候公共领域,以满足、玩耍和生活。
All in all, Al Fay Park is the Middle East’s first showcase of how to strengthen urban biodiversity while creating a cool, comfortable and unique round-the-clock public realm for all residents and visitors to meet, play and live.
