常州，一座具有三千多年曆史的古城，23年高質量邁入了GDP萬億之城，如今以其高品質而富有親和力的城市體驗吸引著各方來客。本項目——棉倉定位於一個社區型項目，由四個油罐為主體的工業遺址改造而來。代表著我們為城市空間煥發活力的願景。
Changzhou, an ancient city with a history of more than 3,000 years, has reached over One Trillion in GDP since 2023. It has transformed into a captivating destination, embracing a more intimate city experience and prioritizing quality over quantity. This community project by Cotton Park is the regeneration of 4 oil tanks – a vision that aligns with our own aspiration to bring urban spaces to life.
作為工業遺產的油罐，因其最初的設計目的而富有獨特的美感。但它巨大的體量並不適宜人的體驗尺度。
The four tanks possess a distinctive quality due to their initial purpose, primarily designed to facilitate industrial processes rather than being centered around the human scale.
在第一次實地考察時，我們看到一束陽光從油罐頂部縹縹射入，並在油罐內壁投射出一個完美的橢圓。那一刻使我們意識到，油罐內壁的斑駁質感與那猶如點睛之筆的天光正是這個項目的精髓所在。
同時，出於可持續性的考量和對當地工業曆史遺產的尊重，我們確定了盡可能保留現有建築的改造策略。
During our first site visit, a ray of sunlight gracefully descended from the top of the silos, casting a flawless ellipse of light on the stained walls. At that moment we realized that the essence of the project lays in preserving the tank walls and harnessing the ethereal lighting from above.
This influenced our decision to preserve the existing architecture as much as possible, driven by both sustainability concerns and a respect for the historical heritage of the local industry.
我們選擇沿中心開辟一條通道連接四個罐體，作為我們為來訪者精心策劃的一段迷人旅程，同時也給予足夠的自由度讓人們以自己的方式和順序去探索這四隻油罐。無論路徑如何，沿途都會有豐富多彩的體驗。
We chose to connect the four silos’ by carving a direct path through their center, curating a captivating journey and enabling visitors to traverse all four tanks with their own distinct program and along the way indulge in a diverse array of experiences.
我們的目標是以一個社區氛圍的多功能空間，為城市注入新的活力。以豐富的文化休閑活動吸引人們相聚於此。
Our goal was to breathe new life into the city and foster community engagement by establishing a place where people could gather. Simultaneously, we aimed to create a versatile place capable of hosting various cultural events and gatherings, enriching the local experience.
除了油罐本身的金屬之外，我們也運用了紅磚作為主要材料，呼應旁邊運河上往來運輸紅磚的駁船，既是場地的曆史記憶也是對城市發展的致敬。在作為餐廳的油罐中，磚塊沿彎曲的內壁堆疊而上，塑造出獨特的空間。此外，作為鋪地材料，它為來訪者提供指引，也使整個場地與周邊環境融為一體。
Next to the steel of the silos, we introduced one other material, inspired by the canal. This material pays homage to the steel barges that transport red bricks, supporting China’s burgeoning developments. Here, these bricks are employed in a straightforward stack, giving rise to a distinct inner realm within the restaurant silo. Adjacent to the curved inner walls, they form pathways for visitors to traverse, providing guidance and grounding the site within its surroundings.
對其中一隻油罐，我們並未做很大改動或賦予任何實質性的功能。我們希望人們在這個純粹的空間中感受光線和體量帶來的力量和震撼。
One silo is hardly touched and ‘un-programmed’. Letting the light, height, and its original power to do its wonder, making it a pure extension of the park for people to enjoy.
我們在其中兩個油罐中分別置入了玻璃房，在內部環境舒適可控的同時亦能體驗到油罐內部的空間張力。
油罐頂部的開洞為罐體與玻璃房之間形成了自然的空氣對流，避免了夏季導致的內部過熱問題。同時，我們策略性的將所有供暖和製冷設施整合到地板下隱形處理，以保證空間的神聖和純粹。
Placing a glass house in two of the silos enables visitors to experience the silo’s powerful internal character while creating a comfortable and controllable interior climate.
The opening on the top of the silos creates natural air convection between the silos and the glass house, avoiding internal overheating problems that occur in the summer. Strategically integrating the heating and cooling infrastructure into the floors allows us to keep these industrial “churches” free from visible technology.
油罐切割開口後剩餘的材料被用作步道的頂棚。既減少了材料的浪費又強化了油罐與公園的聯係。而油罐外壁保留的環形樓梯結構和麵向室外的露台又進一步強化了互動感與吸引力。
Cutting the skin of the silo provided us with material to cover the walkway, reducing the need for new materials. This connection links tanks with the park, where a circular climbing structure and park-facing terraces enhance community engagement and attraction.
