本项目强调了城市与水面的联系。它通过将河流（流体）的精神和生态与城市（网格）联系在了一起，使基督城（Christchurch）内雅芳河畔的自然生态、文化、基础设施和商业活动等彼此交织。

退台式景观区重新定义了城市与河流之间的关系。这种关系通过以下几种方式实现：1. 建立连续的城市步道和河畔空间，并将其作为城市中心的经济催化剂和社交枢纽空间；2. 优化户外的座椅、用餐和公共空间；3. 尽可能地让人们更加近距离地感受和“触摸”河流；4. 突出具有历史意义的桥梁和建筑物（尤其是追忆之桥——Bridge of Remembrance）的存在感，同时尊重和强调追忆公园（Park of Remembrance）内“公园式”的空间设置。

The project enhances access to water. It brings the spirit and ecology of the river (fluid) into a dialogue with the city (grid) where the interwoven ecologies of nature, culture, infrastructure, and commerce come together at the edge of the Avon – Ōtākaro in Christchurch.

The Terraces precinct redefines the relationship between the city and the river. This has been achieved by; supporting the creation and continuity of the City Promenade and river edge ‘as an economic catalyst and social hub for the City Centre; optimising opportunities for outdoor seating/dining and public occupation; providing new opportunities to engage with and connect to the river and ‘touch the water’; enhancing the setting of the existing collection of heritage bridges and structures in particular the Bridge of Remembrance, and respecting and enhance the ‘park-like’ setting of the Park of Remembrance.

退台景观区（Terraces）位于更新后的基督城老城区的中心地带。它将牛津台地街（Oxford Terrace）从一条传统的街道转变为了一条2公里长的共享城市步道，不仅优先考虑了行人和骑自行车的人对城市空间的需求，更限制一般车辆的通行，同时用一个全新的电车环线代替了所有的机动车辆。这种独特的城市步道和河畔空间让城市与河流结合得更加紧密，同时也作为关键性的连接元素构成了雅芳河河滨公园公共区域的体验序列。

The design of the Terraces river edge precinct – located at the epicentre of Christchurch’s revitalisation – transforms Oxford Terrace from a conventional street into a 2km shared-use city promenade that replaces cars with pedestrian priority, cycling and the integration of a new tram circuit. This unique city promenade and edge condition provide the catalyst for Christchurch to turn and face the river and the critical connecting element for the Avon River Park’s sequence of public realm experiences.

设计团队对被列入遗产名录的追忆之桥和其旁边的追忆公园进行了更新和改造，不仅创造出一个具有极强凝聚力的河畔空间，更突出了这个由一系列被列入遗产名录的古迹和地标构成的城市网络。

The refurbished heritage-listed Bridge of Remembrance and adjacent Park of Remembrance are reworked to establish a cohesive rivers edge destination that reveals and celebrates an existing network of heritage-listed monuments and landmarks.

雕刻般的露天石砌座台构成了一系列退台式休息区，让人们能够更加近距离地感受河流。这些休息区的位置都经过了精心的考虑，不仅联系了雅芳河的两岸，更为市民们提供了一个休闲娱乐的空间——从对河安静地沉思到城市规模的庆祝活动，各种行为和活动都可以在此上演。

A series of terraces – constructed of a sculptural set of stone-clad seats and bleachers provide new opportunities for access and occupation of the river bank. Their locations enable reciprocal relationships between the opposing river banks and support social occupation for a range of unique recreational opportunities from quiet contemplation through to city-scale celebrations.

本项目采用了一种新型的低影响设计策略。该策略不仅可以在步道上的废水流入雅芳河之前就对其进行净化处理，更能改善河流廊道的生态状况。河滨步道作为一个连续的空间组织元素，能够将各种不同的场地条件以及步道周边所有的情景体验和活动都联系起来。

定制的道路铺面、街道家具和照明设施等都为基督城带来了一种全新的城市风貌。道路铺装从城市一侧的深色逐渐过渡为河流一侧的浅色，一系列细微的变化反映出河流廊道的运动。长凳的形式和细节设计的灵感来自一种名为Mōkihi的木筏，这种木筏可以在芦苇荡中平稳地行驶。而河滨步道则为城市的新兴文化艺术提供了不可多得的空间。

The project incorporates a new low impact design strategy that treats promenade run-off before discharging this into the Avon as well as the ecological enhancement of the river corridor. The Promenade provides a continuous organising element that connects a variety of different conditions and episodic experiences and activities along its length.

Bespoke paving, street furniture, and lighting establish a new urban identity for Christchurch. The paving gradient provides a transition from the city (dark) to the river (light) and subtle variations that reflect the movement of the river corridor. Bench forms and detailing are inspired by traditional ‘Mōkihi’ (reed river rafts). The Promenade provides a canvas for the cities emerging literature trail.

本项目打造出一个全新的、连续的、且充满活力的河畔空间，从而从根本上重新定义了河流与城市之间的关系。河滨步道作为一个焦点空间，将河流、社区和商业结合在了一起。它将原先的传统城市车行街道改造为了一个以行人为核心的步道，在限制私家车的同时也为骑自行车的人和城市公共交通提供了必要的空间。

Upon the re-imagined banks of the Ōtākaro, this project establishes a new, continuous, and vibrant edge, which fundamentally redefines the relationship between river and city. The Promenade provides a focal point where the flows of the river, community, and commerce come together. It reconfigures the river edge from its pre-earthquake condition as a conventional vehicle dominated streetscape to a pedestrian priority precinct with shared use for cyclists and public transport and limited/controlled access for private cars.
