景观设计

纲要是创造一种高品质的景观环境，该景观有自己独有的特点，能够吸引各地的游客来到此地参观，此外，该景观需要带给人们一种历史感，与此同时，景观的设计元素又能反映当下设计中注重景观可维持性的特点，以及在该

中，能够找到技术革新的痕迹。

布满野花的浸水草地是该项目设计中的主要内容，这里其实是学校对大学生进行环境教育的场所之一，各种花草树木在这一小片区域里生长的很好，枝叶茂盛，足以抵挡该场地河流的季节性淹水，而且草地的保养成本也非常低。依据该地区特殊的地理条件，部分场地种有黄花九轮草，兰花，贝母和花菖蒲。浸水草地还有许多实际性的用途，比如，可处理持续的城市排水问题，此外，因此地刮西南风，且该项目中安装有蒸汽冷却系统，加上该项目环境工程组的协助，以及苇丛河床的设计安排，该浸水草地可起到过滤雨水和表面积水的作用。

The Hive is Europe’s first joint university and public library – a unique academic, educational and learning centre for the City of Worcester and its University.Grant Associates’ landscape design brief was to create a high quality landscape environment that would become a distinctive and exciting visitor attraction – a place which would capture a sense of history and place whilst reflecting on the contemporary themes of sustainability and technological innovation.

A wildflower water meadow is the principal landscape, a resource for environmental education, robust enough to deal with seasonal flooding from the river, with low maintenance demands. Locally harvested seeds from a site of special interest include cowslips, orchids, fritillary’s and flag irises.The water meadow also serves a practical purpose dealing with sustainable urban drainage; filtering rainwater and surface water through reed bed swales and working with the environmental engineering of the building by virtue of the evaporative cooling process with prevailing south-westerly winds.
