JCFO(James Corner Field Operations)是一家城市設(shè)計、景觀建筑與公共區(qū)域設(shè)計事務(wù)所,總部位于紐約市。該事務(wù)所在業(yè)界處于領(lǐng)先地位,享有崇高聲譽,擅長設(shè)計各種類型、各種規(guī)模的現(xiàn)代項目(從大型城區(qū)和復(fù)雜的工業(yè)基地,乃至精細的設(shè)計項目)。事務(wù)所致力于設(shè)計充滿生機與活力的公共區(qū)域,在人與自然之間形成生態(tài)互動。
事務(wù)所擁有50多名在景觀設(shè)計、城市設(shè)計、規(guī)劃和建筑以及傳媒藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域擁有跨學(xué)科背景的專家,旨在憑借清晰的思路與卓越的想象力,妥善應(yīng)對每一個項目的特殊情況,打造具有生態(tài)智能和文化重要性的特色建設(shè)項目。事務(wù)所尤其善于從事城市設(shè)計、公共區(qū)域與大型多學(xué)科項目,致力于為現(xiàn)代化城市、景觀和社會區(qū)域開發(fā)高品質(zhì)的創(chuàng)新解決方案,最終目標是為人們所生活和互動的各類環(huán)境帶來美觀、互動、健康與活力。
Field Operations榮膺過各類專業(yè)設(shè)計大獎:史密森尼庫伯-休伊特國家設(shè)計博物館2010年國家設(shè)計獎;紐約市藝術(shù)委員會杰出設(shè)計大獎;美國藝術(shù)文學(xué)學(xué)會設(shè)計大獎;英國D&AD黑鉛筆獎(金牌);戴勒姆-克萊斯勒創(chuàng)新設(shè)計獎;紐約建筑聯(lián)盟設(shè)計大獎。Field Operations在全球各地舉辦過展會,包括威尼斯國際藝術(shù)雙年展;里斯本建筑三年展;巴黎ArchiLAB建筑展;倫敦皇家藝術(shù)學(xué)院;紐約現(xiàn)代藝術(shù)博物館以及庫伯-休伊特國家設(shè)計博物館。Field Operations被“快公司”雜志評為全球最具創(chuàng)新力的公司之一(2012年),被時代周刊譽為最具影響力的設(shè)計事務(wù)所之一(2010年)。
Field Operations 對項目地點和場地的細節(jié)、客戶與項目以及社區(qū)和環(huán)境開展詳盡調(diào)研,在全球范圍內(nèi)為富有活力的戶外區(qū)域提供無與倫比的智能設(shè)計。
從理念乃至實施,F(xiàn)ield Operations 設(shè)計、開發(fā)和交付了各類規(guī)劃、城市設(shè)計、景觀建筑與公共區(qū)域項目,包括全面項目管理服務(wù)、政府和機構(gòu)審批以及公眾參與。
Field Operations的設(shè)計基于分析、公共參與以及可持續(xù)發(fā)展原則,旨在契合設(shè)計項目的獨特性。從幾何與形式表達到社會用途與項目,從材料制作和細節(jié)到生態(tài)功能與績效,創(chuàng)新始終貫穿于他們所開展的每一個項目之中。
Field Operations旨在打造將生態(tài)、項目、人和創(chuàng)新設(shè)計等要素集于一身的美觀公共區(qū)域。他們深信,出色的公共區(qū)域也可以創(chuàng)造價值。此類區(qū)域能夠在戰(zhàn)略上維系各類城市要素,煥發(fā)城市活力,進而創(chuàng)造價值。它們能給人們留下與眾不同且難以忘懷的持久印象。它們的靈感來自于周圍環(huán)境和文化歷史,能夠提供休閑娛樂設(shè)施,加強生態(tài)多樣性,是人們津津樂道且樂于前往的集體活動場所。
Field Operations深知,現(xiàn)代化都市是不斷演變的復(fù)雜體系,依賴于自然生態(tài)和全球經(jīng)濟,大量交通與可持續(xù)資源,活躍的社會區(qū)域以及富有成效的商業(yè)項目。此類體系并非相獨立,而是相互依賴——形成能夠調(diào)整完善的城市矩陣。他們并不認為開放區(qū)域只是樓宇和開發(fā)區(qū)之間的住宅和公共區(qū)域,而是認為公共開放區(qū)域能夠在實際和社交方面將城市景觀與周邊環(huán)境維系在一起。
Field Operations的設(shè)計基于分析、公共參與以及可持續(xù)發(fā)展原則,旨在契合設(shè)計項目的獨特性。從幾何與形式表達到社會用途與項目,從材料制作和細節(jié)到生態(tài)功能與績效,創(chuàng)新始終貫穿于他們所開展的每一個項目之中。
公園與公共區(qū)域能夠在環(huán)境、美觀與休閑娛樂方面為我們的城市帶來可觀的收益,還能提供市民在城市生活中的參與度,顯著改善生活質(zhì)量。此外,它們還具備產(chǎn)生收入和刺激本地經(jīng)濟發(fā)展的能力。此類收益并不只是紙上談兵,而是能夠?qū)嶋H計量的收益。設(shè)計合理的城市區(qū)域能夠幫助刺激和加快新的投資,促進開發(fā)項目,同時改善城市生活。
出色的公共區(qū)域擁有在年內(nèi)、當季甚至每周不斷變化的各類活動、用途和項目,吸引人們紛至沓來。它們充滿生機與活力,同時兼具多樣性、穩(wěn)定性與靈活性,能夠為人們帶來難以忘懷的現(xiàn)場體驗與活動,顯著提高生活品質(zhì)。
Field Operations所采用的全面設(shè)計方法涉及詳盡分析與自然和城市資源優(yōu)化,旨在實現(xiàn)最高水平的生態(tài)績效(包括土壤、風(fēng)、太陽、水、棲息地、景觀與連接性、社交生活、商業(yè)、交通與項目組合)。他們著眼于長期維護與運營,研發(fā)能夠改善生活品質(zhì)的智能技術(shù)。
Field Operations制定兼具多樣性與穩(wěn)定性的花草種植設(shè)計方案,旨在提高生物多樣性,穩(wěn)定和保護周圍環(huán)境,明確并完善項目區(qū)域。他們制定創(chuàng)新的雨水管理規(guī)范,旨在改善用水品質(zhì),保護下游渠道,減少洪水發(fā)生率,將灌溉需求降至最低程度。
在Field Operations的總體設(shè)計流程中,融入了公共流程。他們在公共咨詢會議中獲取公眾客戶的看法與觀點。他們能夠激勵公眾積極參與,因為他們以富有意義的方式組織開展由公眾參與的研討會與活動議程,他們的演示作品具有卓越品質(zhì),使與會者能夠充分了解他們所提議的活動類型、便利設(shè)施以及設(shè)計品質(zhì)。
擁有宏偉愿景的大型復(fù)雜項目需要時間才能完全實現(xiàn)。Field Operations認為,確定并實施提早行動的項目將會提早斬獲成功,帶來發(fā)展動力并創(chuàng)造可觀價值。此類項目相對易于完成,且具有較高的影響力,將會促使公眾實現(xiàn)大型場所的潛力,并給人們留下與眾不同且難以忘懷的持久印象。
James Corner
James Corner Field Operations is a leading-edge urban design, landscape architecture and public realm practice based in New York City. The practice is renowned for strong contemporary design across a variety of high profile project types and scales,from large urban districts and complex post-industrial sites, to small well-crafted, detail design projects. There is a special commitment to the design of a vibrant and dynamic public realm, informed by the interactive ecology between people and nature.
Comprising over 50 professionals, many with cross-disciplinary backgrounds in landscape architecture, urban design, planning, architecture and communication art,our mandate is to respond with clarity and imagination to the unique circumstances of each project, crafting ecologically smart and culturally significant built works of lasting distinction. The office has a particular flair with urban situations, public spaces and large-scale, multi-disciplinary projects, with a focus on developing high quality, innovative solutions for modern day cities, landscapes and social places. The ultimate aim is to bring beauty, engagement, health and vitality to the different kinds of environments in which people live and interact.
Field Operations’ work has been recognized by the Smithsonian’s Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum 2010 National Design Award; the New York City Arts Commission Award for Excellence in Design; the American Academy of Arts and Letters Award for Design; the D&AD Black Pencil Award (Gold Medal), London; the Daimler-Chrysler Award for Design Innovation; the Architectural League of New York Design Award; and other professional design awards and prizes. Field Operations has published and exhibited internationally, including at the Venice Biennale; the Lisbon Triennale; ArchiLAB, Paris; the Royal College of Art, London; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; and the Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum. Field Operations was named one of the world’s most innovative companies by Fast Company (2012) and one of the most influential design firms by Time (2010).
Responding to the particularities of site and place, client and program, community and context, we create intelligent, beautiful designs for vibrant outdoor spaces around the world.
We design, develop and deliver critically acclaimed planning, urban design,landscape architecture and public realm projects from concept through implementation, including full project management services, government and agency approvals and public engagement.
Our designs are calibrated to the peculiarities of the place, rooted in analysis, public participation and sustainable principles. Innovation is expressed in every project we undertake; from geometrical and formal expression to social uses and program; from material craft and detail to ecological function and performance.
We aim to create beautiful and compelling public spaces that integrate ecology,program, people, and innovative design. We believe that great public spaces create value. They strategically link, activate, and regenerate. They create a strong, memorable, distinct and lasting impression. They are inspired by context and cultural history. They provide recreational amenity. They enhance ecological diversity. They are collective spaces appreciated by all, places where groups large and small engage in a city’s civic life.
We understand contemporary cities to be complex and evolving systems that are reliant on natural ecologies and global economies; mass transportation and sustainable resources; active social spaces and productive commercial programs. These systems should not be considered mutually exclusive, but co-dependent-producing an urban matrix capable of adaptation. Rather than considering open space as the residual and left over areas between buildings and at the development edge, we believe public open space can be a primary organizing device to physically and socially connect sites to their surrounding context.
Our designs are calibrated to the peculiarities of the place, rooted in analysis, public participation and sustainable principles. Innovation is expressed in every project we undertake; from geometrical and formal expression to social uses and program;from material craft and detail to ecological function and performance.
Parks and open space provide intrinsic environmental, aesthetic and recreation benefits to our cities. They also support expressions of civic engagement and improve quality of life. Less well known is their power to generate revenue and stimulate local economic growth. These benefits are not only evident, but measurable. Well designed urban spaces can help to catalyze and accelerate new investment, development and urban life.
Great public spaces have a variety of activities, uses and programs that change throughout the year, season and even week encouraging people to return again and again. They are vibrant, dynamic, diverse, robust and resilient. They are defined by the range of experiences offered; the vivacity of activity on site; and the exceptional quality of life provided.
Our holistic approach involves careful analysis and optimization of natural andurban site assets to reach the highest levels of ecological performance including soil, wind, sun, water, habitat, views and connectivity, social life, commerce, transit and program mix. We develop smart techniques to improve quality of life with an eye towards long-term maintenance and operations. We develop diverse and robust planting designs to increase biodiversity, stabilize and restore site conditions, and shape and define program areas. We develop innovative stormwater management practices to improve water quality, protect downstream channels, reduce flooding,and minimize irrigation requirements.
The public process is integrated in our design process as a whole. We receive exceptional reviews from public clients on our leadership of public consultation meetings. We are able to encourage enthusiastic participation because we develop workshops and agendas that engage the public in thoughtful and interesting ways and because the quality of our visuals is very high, and allows participants to readily imagine the kinds of activity, amenity and physical design qualities we propose.
Large, complex projects with ambitious and bold visions take time to be fully realized. We believe in identifying and implementing early action projects to provide early successes, build momentum and create value. These projects are relatively easy to do and have a high impact. They excite and motivate the public to help realize the larger site’s potential and create strong, memorable, distinct and lasting impressions.
