多佛的滨海大道已经被Tonkin Liu进行了彻底的改造。该项目被构思为三件艺术作品,分别是Lifting Wave、Resting Wave、Lighting Wave,它们的成长源于其社会和环境背景以及它们的建造方式。该方案是景观研究所代表多佛港务局、多佛区议会、肯特郡议会、SEEDA和英国遗产组织的设计竞赛的获奖作品。
Dover's Esplanade has been given a radical overhaul by Tonkin Liu. The project has been conceived as three artworks, Lifting Wave, Resting Wave, Lighting Wave, that have grown out of their social and environmental context and the way they are constructed. The scheme was the winning entry in a design competition organised by the Landscape Institute on behalf of Dover Harbour Board, Dover District Council, Kent County Council, SEEDA and English Heritage.
多佛滨海大道项目的构思是三个从社会和环境背景中成长起来的艺术作品。滨海艺术中心利用了多佛的建筑语言;避风海滩上波涛汹涌的自然风光,乔治亚风格的海滨平台的节奏感,以及多佛白崖起伏的地形。三个新的定制、特定地点的雕塑海浪为滨海大道带注入了新的互动活力。
The Dover Esplanade project was conceived as three artworks grown out of their social and environmental context. The Esplanade harnesses the architectural language of Dover’s identity; the gentle nature of waves on the sheltered beach, the rhythmical sweep of the Georgian Seafront Terrace and the undulating topography of the White Cliffs of Dover. The creation of three new bespoke, site-specific sculptural waves brings a new interactive dynamism to the esplanade.
升起的海浪
“升起的海浪”是由预铸的白色混凝土制成的坡道和楼梯重复形成,它们起起伏伏地连接着滨海大道和低层的碎石海滩。层层叠叠的微型台阶像一把把纸牌扇子一样排列在一起,创造出一个引人注目的纹理表面。
The Lifting Wave
The Lifting Wave is a repeated formation of ramps and staircases made of pre-cast white concrete that rise and fall to connect the Esplanade to the lower shingle beach. Layered miniature steps are arrayed like a fan of cards to create a light-catching textured surface.
休息的海浪
“休息的海浪”是贯穿滨海大道的挡土墙,为海湾空间提供了避风的座位。预制白色混凝土块的移动系统以凸凹形式来回倾斜,创造出类似多佛白崖沉积地层的纹理表面。
The Resting Wave
The Resting Wave is a retaining wall that runs the length of the Esplanade, providing bay spaces with seating sheltered from the wind. The shifting system of precast white concrete blocks tilt back and forth in convex and concave forms, creating a textured surface similar to that of the sedimentary strata layers of Dover’s White Cliffs.
照明的海浪
“照明的海浪”是一排白色柱子,上面的艺术品与海墙的扫荡形态相得益彰。沿着滨海大道的长度,这些柱子起起伏伏,就像波峰上的泡沫。互动式的低能耗LED灯营造出动态的波浪运动,为海滨带来愉悦感。
The Lighting Wave
The Lighting Wave is a line of white columns with artwork that complements the sweeping form of the sea wall. Along the length of the Esplanade the columns rise and fall like the froth on the bubbling crest of a wave. The interactive low-energy LED lights create a dynamic wave movement, bringing a sense of delight to the seafront.
