Ecosistema Urbano事務(wù)所的建筑師Belinda Tato和Jose Luis Vallejo設(shè)計了一種“插入式”公共空間,旨在應(yīng)對設(shè)施不足的城市環(huán)境中氣候變化的影響。這一裝置名為“Polinature”,由哈佛大學(xué)的薩拉塔氣候與可持續(xù)發(fā)展研究所資助,目前已安裝于哈佛綠色建筑與城市中心的后院中。這一亭式裝置結(jié)合了設(shè)置于腳手架中的本地植物和充氣式生物氣候遮篷,旨在展示小規(guī)模干預(yù)措施如何對局部微氣候和生物多樣性產(chǎn)生復(fù)合的積極影響。
Architects Belinda Tato and Jose Luis Vallejo of Ecosistema Urbano have designed a plug-in public space designed to address the effects of climate change in ill-equipped urban environments. Titled Polinature, the installation has been funded by the Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability at Harvard, and is now installed in the backyard of the Harvard Center for Green Buildings and Cities. The pavilion, featuring native plans set into a scaffolding, with an inflatable bioclimatic canopy, aims to demonstrate how small-scale interventions can create compound positive effects for the local micro-climate and biopersity.
隨著全球極端高溫的頻發(fā),維持戶外公共空間的舒適性和實用性變得愈發(fā)困難。受這些變化影響最嚴(yán)重的是弱勢群體,他們本就缺乏對公園和綠地的平等獲取權(quán)?!癙olinature”成為當(dāng)下一些問題的臨時解決方案。作為哈佛設(shè)計研究生院的景觀建筑教授,Belinda Tato與Jose Luis Vallejo共同致力研發(fā)改善不同氣候條件下生物氣候環(huán)境的解決方案。
Maintaining the comfort and usability of outdoor public spaces has become increasingly challenging due to the rise of extreme heat across the globe. Affected most severely by these shifts are vulnerable communities, who are already faced with a lack of equitable access to parks and green spaces. Polinature has been developed as a temporary solution for these issues. As a Landscape Architecture Professor at Harvard Graduate School of Design, Belinda Tato, together with Jose Luis Vallejo, set out to design solutions that could improve bioclimatic conditions across varying climates.
The design, referred to as an "Urban Biopersity Kit," utilizes three primary components: scaffolding, native plants, and an inflatable canopy system. Its modular nature ensures that each part can be assembled, disassembled, and reconfigured, offering flexibility and minimizing waste. The adaptability of Polinature allows it to be customized with local, sustainable materials, transforming it into an accessible model for urban interventions, with all technical drawings and instructions available as open-source resources.
One of the main purposes of the installation is to support pollinator habitats within urban environments. It features over 1,400 native flowering plants from the northeast, designed to attract essential pollinator species such as honeybees, hummingbirds, and monarch butterflies. In addition to creating an inviting gathering space, these plans promote the crucial role that pollinators play within the environment.
Additionally, Polinature's adaptable canopy utilizes orange climatic bubbles and white lighting pods to manage temperature and provide illumination. Sensor technology enables the installation to adjust dynamically to environmental changes, enhancing user comfort by releasing breezes in response to detected heat and humidity. Moreover, this digital interactivity allows visitors to engage with real-time climatic data displayed throughout the site, fostering environmental awareness and interaction for all who visit.
While often overlooked, biopersity plays an important role in urban environments, ensuring the continuity of ecosystems and sustaining pollinator species. Urban design can contribute significantly to support these ecosystems, by integrating greenery and perse urban spaces that foster a perse range of species of plants, animals and insects.
