現在的購物中心不僅要滿足購物需求，更在逐漸轉變為社區中心。墨爾本Highpoint購物中心的“快閃公園”展現了全新的交流、休憩、觀賞和玩耍方式。由于處于通往購物中心最為熱鬧的入口通道，這里的公共廣場空間十分有限。

在場所營造之前，小型的廣場上是裂開的現澆混凝土、食物飲料和煙頭留下的污漬，而且缺少休息空間，因此僅僅是作為通往購物中心的通道。這次場所營造以速度快、低成本為主，并加入具有親切感的材料，如矮墻收邊和標準木柱柵欄。此外，結合層壓配件和色彩的座椅元素也為場地空間添加了獨特的亮點。

特制抬高的平臺以柔軟的人造草坪為主，并以定制的座椅細節收邊。這些座椅元素或草坡面向中心的安全游樂區，并配以可移動的游樂元素。整個設計將現有的場地功能成功無縫結合。

豐富重疊的功能分區為不同群體之間創造了一種全新的聯系。在這里，年輕人可以一起相聚逛逛，而兒童也可在旁邊蹦蹦跳跳、捉迷藏、奔跑。

項目展現了如何對空間進行重組，進而豐富空間層次。這不僅僅是一次臨時性的場所營造，更是一次策略性的城市化嘗試，并最終深受人們喜愛。

Shopping centers are not only for shopping, but more and more they are becoming community hubs. Highpoint Pop Up Park offers new ways of talking, sitting, watching and playing. Located at one of the busiest entry to the center, the degraded public plaza had offered very little to visitors.

The small plaza; with its cracked insitu concrete, stains from food, drinks and cigarettes and lack of seating contributed very little other than a walkway into the centre. The pop up park was designed to be quickly and cheaply installed with easily accessible materials such as form ply and a standard stud wall framing system. In addition, the seating elements, with their laminate fixings and colours, contribute to a unique identity for the space.

There are raised platforms with soft synthetic turf framed by customized seating details. These seating elements or sloped terraces face a central and safe play space with moveable play objects. The whole design is integrated seamlessly with current site functions.

The overlapping programs creates new connections between groups in the community. Children are now running, hiding, following and jumping right next to a group of youths just hanging out and being cool.

The pop up park is a demonstration of how these spaces can be reconfigured to become much more. This is strategic urbanism, a project driven from Center Management. Designed well and to last, longer than initially planned.

評論

房木生：進入2016年，許多身在北京的同行朋友一片哀嚎，說建筑師、景觀設計師的好日子一去不復返了。我卻表達了足夠的樂觀。不是因為有更多的新土地讓我們去施展設計，而是我看到我們的城市環境還足夠糟糕。糟糕的環境，是需要更多有創意的設計師的。本項目在改造前，顯然也是足夠平淡，足夠單調，足夠糟糕。設計師基于生活的視角，展開想象的設計，為這片場地帶來了生機。這種化腐朽為神奇的力量，正是我們設計師自豪和樂觀的源泉。

Comments

FANG Musheng: In 2016, many friends working in the same profession in Beijing whined to me that the good days for architects and landscape designers had gone, while I expressed optimism about it – not because there is new land not yet developed that waits for us to design, but because our existing city environment is really terrible, which calls for more innovative designs. This project, before the reconstruction, was a plain, dull and haphazard affair. Based on practical considerations and their own imagination, the designers brought new vitality to the space. Their "magic power" of bringing good out of bad gives us, as designers, pride and cause for optimism.

朵寧：曾幾何時，購物中心是商業社會的教堂。但是現在，這個教堂的信徒都在線充值了。

開源操作系統林納斯·托瓦茲的發明者Linus Torvalds曾經說，人類的追求分成3個階段。第一是生存，第二是社會秩序，第三是娛樂。

最開始購物是為了生存，然后對購物集約化和效率的追求產生了購物中心，最后購物變成了娛樂體驗的副產品。

在這個案例中，原先停車場通過購物中心的通道，被改造成具有娛樂功能的公共空間。這沒什么了不起的。中國的購物中心，恨不得整個商場都要改成游樂園了。

DUO Ning: Shopping mall was once the cathedral in the commercial society. But now the followers are placing orders online.

According to Linus Torvalds who is the inventor of Linux, all of our motivations fall into three basic categories, they are "survival" "social life" and "entertainment".

At the very beginning, we shopped for basic survival needs. And then shopping mall was created for the need of efficiency in a more commercialized society. As for now, shopping the activity itself becomes the byproduct of entertainment experience.

In this project, the passage which links the parking lot to the shopping center is transformed into a public leisure space. There is nothing too impressive. In China, the whole shopping center is about to be transformed into a playground.
